We will help you get your mom off drugs!

Ok. Here is my problem. My dad has had this girlfriend (who now is my mom) more than once. My dad is a drug addict and so is my step mom is a drug addict. They have been clean for about a month. I love my dad. But my step mom is not my favorite. I know that it is hard for them because they are drug addicts. But when she comes in saying that my mom does not love me and that she is my new mom. What do I do. I only get mad and that does not do any good. So any help would gladly help. Thanks.
No I live with my grandmother.
They are living with us just for now. Wait never mind. Just forget it.
Thanks I will try…….

What are my rights as a step dad? I have a 13 year old step son and a 5 year old daughter with the same woman. When ever it comes to disciplining him, she feels that she must protect him from me because I might make him mow the lawn or do the dishes when all he really wants to do is smoke pot and stay out till 2 a.m. It’s incredible that his mother would let this 6″ tall boy walk out the house and right past her as she mows the lawn, & argue with me when I say something about it! And frankly I’m F*%Kin sick & tired of it! He comes up pos. in a drug screen from his school, they tell me that they want him in an out patiant program or he’s going to be suspended come Sept.,& her responcse to me was”they did’nt tell me” and she acts as if it ain’t so. Come Sept. she’ll see. I got a 5 year girl I have to worry about too. He’s going to be an influance to her. I love him and I want to help him straighten out his life.His mama is may biggest adversary in helping him. Legally what are my rights!

She is moving (finally) but decided to take my six year old sister, her daughter, with her. I can’t let my sister go with her because I love her & my step mom is a drug addict. I am scared Sydney (sister) will get into drugs from being around her. Stacey (step mom) only wants Sydney for child support. Everyone who knows the situation knows that much. I am terrified that (because Stacey only wants Sydney for the money) when she hits rock bottom, she will sell my little sister into prostitution so she will have money for her addictions. Don;t tell me to turn Stacey into the police. She’s been to jail & to rehab 3 times, but it haaasn’t been working. The police were watching her, so I can only hope for a drug bust, but she’s leaving the state before the end of the week. If she takes Sydney, I will never see her again.

What can I do to save my sister?

What should I do about my step son lying on me to his mom and other family members? I am raising him along with his dad. his mom is a drug addict and dont want him. He called his mom and told her that i would take his money out of his pockets when he got money and claim it to be mine. He got birthday money this month and i did not take any of his money, never have never will take a little kids money. I am the one that let him have a pool party, let him and his friends act like a bunch of hoolums, I am the one that gave him money for his bday, I am the one that stood on the back porch and cooked out in 90 degree weather for him while his mom was doing what the hell ever and his dad was at work and then I am the one that gets talked about like a dog and lied on. She did not even call him on his bday, he had to call her at 11 that night. He said that i dont feed him like i should. I do think that i abuse him because since he has moved in with us he has gained 30 pounds. He is 12 and weighs 170 and he is almost 5 feet tall. I give him like 2 hamburgers and some fries and he wants more and i say no so that may be were he is getting i dont feed him good, i guess. hell they all should be able to see that i am feeding him. That to me is too much anyway for him to eat, one burger and some fries should be all, I try to keep this food thing in control but with him doing this it pisses me off. He caught my head turned last weekend when my sis and her hub and 3 kids were visiting and ate fries and 5 corn dogs and 2 chicken patties all at once. when all the other kids came in all of the food was gone and he said i thought everyone had ate, he is a big liar too. His mom left him with his great granny when he was 5 and never came back to get him. When she figured out that her step grandmother would keep him she started coming around and he then told me and his dad that when we sent him home with money either his mom or her mom his granny would steal it. He steals his self. like this weekend he stole 10$ from my husband sister and $ 30 from his step great granny while he was visiting them this weekend. He said that his cousin is the one that did it and just gave him some of it. Just like last year when he got caught stealing in a sex store he said that his friend is the one that stuck it his pocket and he did not know it was there and then he told some other people that his friend said that he paid for it for him to hold it for him. This weekend my husband and i went on a anniversary trip, I called his great grandmother and ask her to keep him all weekend and she said yes. a few minutes later he called and said “you gotta come pick me up, my great grandmother said that she has plans and can’t keep me” He lied cause I ask her and she said that was fine. I told him that and he said well i dont want to stay here and you cant make me do something that i dont want to do! All of this stuff that this little boy is saying and doing is driving me insane. I have 3 kids of my own to care for and I stay pissed at him and i snap at them when thay do something cause he has so much crazy stuff built up inside me. Also he is bad as hell in school behavior and grades. He passed with D’s barely .School is starting back and i am dreading it truly, I told him that he needs to tell his dad about the school stuff this year cause I was staying out of it. My sis told me to let everything be unless he was hurting me, my kids, my car or my home. His dad grounded him today for stealing that money and he keeps on asking me like 10 times already how long he will be grounded for and i keep telling him to ask his dad but yet he keeps asking me. His dad was eating a burger tonight , the boy had ate 2 already and he goes in there and ask his dad if he could have his other burger. I feel like I am being put out here to be the bad guy when all i have done is showed him love like his mom never did. I am tired of it. So I have a 12 year old step son that is a liar, thief and a mean ass that I dont know how to handle any help please. His dad acts like he dont want to be bothered with him so he wont whip him he just puts him in his room grounding him, or he will most of the time say next time son, next time son, and let him away with it which leaves my kids asking me why did i get in trouble for the same thing that we both done and he didn’t. so while dad is at work I am left with him standing in his bed room door way, making any excuse in the world to come out and loaf around. When his dad comes home every day he has been bad and i tell his dad because he ask me so the little boy says i m lying on him and his dad always just blows it all off. Talking to me and my kids like we are trash and yelling at us when he dont get his way. Anytime he gets in trouble he blames it on someone else or lies about it. Please help?
His mom lies to him all of the time. She told him that she was going to buy him a xbox 360 for his birthday this month and he never got it, so he takes up for her by saying I jsut told her to get me a $20 prepaid cell phone cause the xbox was a lot of money and he did not even get that this past weekend like she has promised. He is always making excuses for her when she lies to him.
my husband said that his little boys mom was drunk when she called and said that I was takin his money and not feeding him right, he said that his boy did not tell her that, she was jsut drunk and makin stuff up. I dont believe that, I believe that he did call her and lie on me. Why would she just call out of the blue and start saying that stuff like that? I think that he was just mad at me cause his dad and i were going on our anniversary(we never had a honey moon or first anniversary due to money) and we needed him to stay with his great granny for 2 days and he did not want to. It pisses me off that he believes his son when he knows that he known to lie. What do you all think about this? Am I wrong for this? I am washing my hands with this situation, i am keeping my mouth shut unless his son is doing something to hurt me, my kids, my home or my car or animals. I am fed up. All i do is try to love him and he does this to me. I feel like i am the only 1 that has tried to b there 4 him
And then I think no wonder no one tries to keep him and be there for him, cause he has done them all this way too. i then feel guilty cause he is a kid but he is 12, he knows to lie or not to lie on someone. He was mean to his step grandma and he has tried bringing that attitude with him here and i dont put up with it. he yells at that old lady and everything, she tells me to bust his butt but i wont whip another persons child, i rarely whip my own kids.

if she has my social security number then all she has to do is call a number of banks until she finds my bank account then tell them my social and get my account number i have over 100k what do i do?

Sorry for the long story but it’s the only way to sum up my question!

HISTORY:
My step son is 17 years old and has been to counseling, rehab & AA (for prescription drugs). My husband and his ex have been apart for 5+ years. My husband was a young dad and made mistakes (haven’t we all?!?!). But has spent the last 5 years making every effort to make things better — we always make him the priority over his younger sisters b/c the girls always are first at their mom’s house; we moved to the school district that he wanted to attend, countless conversations about the regret for the mistakes made as a young father and counseling for the two of them (he told his mom he didn’t like it), etc.

Recently my step son has decided to play victim and tell his therapist that his dad is abusive (certainly not since I have known him in 5 years but I can’t speak for the past) and that his dad is a trigger for cutting and drug use. NOTE: I believe his definition of abuse is that we have different opinions than our ‘EMO son” and want better for him.. like many teens, he doesn’t like us telling him that we don’t agree with him!! He has also heard his mom say for YEARS that she was abused and even tried to lie in court with a false police report.

We just moved 800 miles from away from the kids and our family for a job opportunity and we are expecting our first baby together, a boy. This decision came after my step son told us he didn’t want to live with us anymore, just use our address so he can go to the school of his choice. We decided that we couldn’t pass up the stability of this new job offer for our own good so we made the TOUGH decision to move 800 miles away.

It seems as though my step son is using my husband as an excuse for his problems, (cutting, drugs, poor grades, no job, etc). Ironically, all of this blame didn’t start until we moved (and we have heard thru the grapevine that he has NO intentions of visiting us)

Our therapist tells us that we need to cut the rope and give him the space he is requesting (thru his actions). And to tell him that we love him and that we will be here for him IF he decides he wants to be a part of our lives again. This is very difficult to do – we are so hurt!! We want to write my step son a letter and tell him that we love him and that we are disappointed that he is cutting us out of his life with no explanation – it’s unfair that he is using US as an excuse to do drugs, etc.

So, now the question……any suggestions how to say some of these things WITHOUT making him feel guilty (as we have been told NOT to do). Quite frankly, I feel that if he feels guilty that means he KNOWS he is doing us wrong… so what’s wrong with the truth if it’s in a compassionate way?

oh – I mentioned our baby b/c we have been told by his mom that he is upset that we are expecting a boy “the son his dad always wanted” — while I understand to a point it’s not like we went to the store and ordered a baby boy as a replacement. Yes, that’s my adult logic, not a hurt teen talking :)
Thank you all for the quick and awesome responses!!! One thing that came to mind while reading thru all of this….. Ironically his mom and step dad are in the midst of IVF to have a baby too (and share all details with the kids). I am now starting to think “ah haa…it’s not US — it’s is without a doubt the combination of both sets of parents bringing babies into this world”
And… we have had our ups and downs with mom but for the most part we are on the same team — EXCEPT when my step son causes problems… we, the parents, end up in a war… maybe he likes it that was b/c breaks us down – easier to manipulate?!?!?

The father of the 2 year old was driving. They were hit by a 19 year old drunk driver. Killed in the car was the 2 yr old child of the driver, his wife, the father/driver and the couple’s daughter survived the crash. The 2 year old was not in a car seat or strapped in the car. Their van flipped over and the 2 yr old was thrown out of the car and suffered terrible head injury and died at the scene of the crime. Will the insurance company hold the father of the 2 yr old responsible and thus no compensation because he did not have the 2 yr old secured by law? The 19 year old drunk driver does have car insurance.

Cocaine is one of the most powerful and extremely addictive drugs that affect the brain directly. Cocaine is a schedule-II drug as it has high potential for abuse and addiction. According to National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), there were 1.9 million current cocaine abusers aged 12 years or older in 2008. The report also states that, there were 722,000 persons aged 12 or older who had used cocaine for the first time within the past 12 months averaging nearly 2,000 initiates per day.

To detect the cocaine test, the One Step Cocaine Test is simple to administer and detects cocaine metabolite Benzoylecgonine in human urine at a cut-off concentration of 300ng/mL.

Specimen collection:
The urine specimen is collected in a dry and clean container. Urine collected at any time of the day can be used for testing. To obtain a clear specimen, urine with precipitates should be centrifuged, filtered or allowed to settle. The specimen can be stored for up to 48 hours at 2o C to 8o C.

Directions for use:
Test card and urine specimen should be at room temperature i.e. 15° C to 30° C prior to testing. Remove the test card from the pouch and discard the small moisture absorbent packet immediately. Immerse the test strip vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10 to 15 seconds with arrows pointing towards the urine specimen. Then place the test card on a non-absorbent surface and start the timer. Wait for the red lines to appear and take the results at 5 minutes.

Interpretation of the results:
For a positive result, one red line appears in the control region and no line appears in the test region. However, for the negative result two lines appear- a red line in control region and another red or pink line appear in the test region. For an invalid result, control line fails to appear. The most likely reasons for a failure are insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques.

Cocaine abuse is a major public health concern today. Detecting the abusers is very important by using simple and quick tests like one-step Cocaine test can help in deterring them from abuse.
