I don’t know how to get through to my drug addicted husband?

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

When my husband was a child he grew up in a home filled with drugs. All kinds. His mother’s and step father’s drug of choice was speed/meth. His step father was abusive to my husband until the step father was caught hurting my husband ( who was o became only 13) and the step father was arrested. He used to find his mother’s drugs and pipes and flush them or break them, but eventually he became curious and tried himself. He became addicted. He was taken away from his mother at 15 and placed with his aunt. He became clean. We have been going out for years as teens. When we hit 20 we married. We had one baby girl and at that point he got a job that was graveyard shift. He fell back into drugs. He said it was due to stress and feeling that he needed to be able to stay up to work. I am a person who has lived a somewhat sheltered life, never done any drugs or drank or even had a cigarette so i didn’t see the subtle clues he was using again. I never thought he’d go back. When I did realize what was happening i left him and said he had to chose what life he wanted. Drugs or our family in one home. He quit. We moved away from his mom who still uses. I later had another baby, this time a boy. Soon after I caught him red handed using. This time i said he has to do more than promise me it wouldn’t happen again. I asked him to do out patient rehab and marriage counseling. As part of the rehab he cannot drink or do any drugs. He has slipped and drank 3 nights in less than 2 weeks. The meeting scheduled today he told me he was leaving to there but he went to his moms instead. I called his council er and found out he skipped class he admitted he went to his moms but swears he didn’t do anything but hang out. I don’t know what to do. I love him, he seems to want to stop, but weak willed, hes the father of my children. i asked him to leave for the night but what do i do next?

Is purging midway through a binge more harmful?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Well I’m bulimic. You can skip the lecture about help and harm to my body, I know it all. My mom is going out tonight and I have my binge all planned. I’m eating ice cream sundaes with vanilla ice cream, strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream, banana, caramel syrup, chocolate syrup, pineapple syrup, strawberry syrup, sprinkles, nuts, and whipped cream. It’s going to be AWESOME.

So my question: If I vomit halfway through my binge, eat more, and then vomit again, will that do more damage to my body than eating it all before vomiting? And how long does it take for a significant number of calories to start absorbing? Thanks.

I am going through a very rough time I dont know what to do anymore. Any Advice?

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

My daughter sleeps in the room with my mom and I opened the door and my mother was smoking crack with my daughter in the room. Personally I dont care if she smokes crack anymore because for 20 years she has been making excuses (“sometimes, i slip up”, or “I’m sorry”) so if she wants to kill herself oh well…Im not saying I dont love her but she is dead wrong…she is trying to kill my baby by having her breath in that stuff. I already have a case with ACS because of my grandmother,she was trying to get custody of my baby so she can get some money, which is what she did to me and my brother. I recently found a job but I have no place to stay and my boyfriend recently got kicked out of his apartment, and he has the money for one but he just can’t find a suitable one. If he gets the apartment I can stay with him and my mom will NEVER see my baby again. This is her FIRST grandchild and she doesn’t even care. That really hurts, she is always letting me down. Im not gonna let my baby down.
SHE COULD HAVE AT LEAST PUT MY BABY IN THE ROOM WITH ME OR MY SISTER
IM FROM BROOKLYN NEW YORK..IF ANYONE WANTS A FOLLOW UP PUT ME ON THE WATCH LIST OR CONTACT ME BY EMAIL THE LINK IS ON MY ANSWERS! PROFILE. THANKS ONCE AGAIN

What film is shown through the eyes of a child about her drug-addicted parents and making friends with a man?

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

I heard about a movie today about a young girl who’s parents are drug addicts, and the mother dies. The father says they should burn her but the child suggests just wrapping her up and leaving her so noone else burns things. They move to the fathers hometown and the girl makes friends with a man/boy with mental problems. They become very close. I cannot remember for the life of me what the name of the film was, I believe it had the word “tide” in it.
I dont even want to see it frankly, it’s just annoying me because I cant remember the name of it!
I think it’s shown through the eyes of the child.

Hemorrhoids Reviews – Cutting Through the Crap

Monday, January 11th, 2010

If you currently suffer, or have ever suffered from hemorrhoids, you’re probably well aware of the hundreds of hemorrhoids remedies floating around out there – from over-the-counter creams and suppositories to prescription pills, from old home remedies to traditional Chinese medicine. However, my own research has turned up three primary issues related to hemorrhoids that I believe any sort of remedy or course of treatment should address.

The Pain In My Rear

Regardless of the underlying cause of your hemorrhoids, one thing is certain – they are unpleasant! Pain, itching, burning, and bleeding are never pleasant, especially when it’s an area of your body that sees a lot of action in the form of walking, sitting, and “eliminating.” Understandably, most hemorrhoid sufferers go immediately for something – anything – that will ease their pain and discomfort.

This includes remedies like over-the-counter creams, suppositories, and medicated pads. Some even claim to have ingredients to numb the pain and shrink swelling. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen my hemorrhoids shrink like the people on TV describe, and the anesthetic cream did absolutely nothing for me.

Hospitals do prescribe witch hazel pads for new mothers with hemorrhoid problems, so that is definitely one temporary solution worth investigating. I’ve also found petroleum jelly to help ease the discomfort while I simply waited for the hemorrhoid to go away on its own.

But those hemorrhoids remedies simply treat the symptoms, helping to relax the tissue and keep the area moist and lubricated. What about the underlying cause of the piles?

Pump Up Your Poop

Yes, you’ve also probably heard that fiber is very important in preventing future hemorrhoids. Guess what? It is. However, you need to be very careful when increasing your fiber intake, so that you also drink plenty of water. Otherwise, you may just cause or increase constipation and make your hemorrhoids even worse.

A diet high in fiber is important not only for hemorrhoids, but also for your general health, so it is a good idea to move in that direction as much as possible. So what are the main causes and aggravators of hemorrhoids?

Turn Piles To Smiles

You may already be aware that constipation (or diarrhea) and straining during bowel movements can cause or aggravate hemorrhoids. However, hypertension (high blood pressure) can also cause hemorrhoids.

Obesity, sitting too long, and poor muscle tone or posture are also contributors to hemorrhoid problems, as are pregnancy, cigarette smoking, and excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine.

So, do yourself a favor and make at least some minor changes to your diet and/or lifestyle if you have problems with piles. Sure, easy for me to sit here in comfort and say that, so I understand that you might also be looking for something to speed up the healing process, right?

Magic Bullets

There are a number of hemorrhoids remedies that people swear by to eliminate or greatly reduce their problems in as little as a few days. Most of these remedies combine traditional approaches – like cold compresses or witch hazel – with an alternative ingredient like horse chestnut.
