We will help you get your mom off drugs!

What type of person is the worst bottom-feeder that you can possibly think of? Examples: child-molester, wife-beater, convicted felons, welfare moms, hypocrites, drug addicts, etc.

If your child told you that you were the worst mother in the world for putting a man [not a good man] before her.. Would you be hurt?

I am on the giving, not receiving end of this statement. I told my mom that, I wonder if it hurt her? She does feel guilty but she wants BOTH her kids AND this abusive, drug addict boyfriend in her life. I told her to choose and she said she can’t.

SO I called her the worst mother among other things… Does anyone have similar stories or know what she’s feeling?

My daughters class had this question in English & I wanted to know if adults thought the same as teens. A crack addict mother killing her baby or a plane flying into a Government building
I’m assumung the teacher meant something like 9-11 but she didn’t specify

My mother in law was a prison guard and had an affiar with an inmate. She is planning to live with his parents until he gets out of prison in a year. She dropped this news on us at my daughter’s 1st birthday party. She lets her drug addicted daughter crash at her house and has found drug needles in her home. Am i wrong for keeping my daughter away from her. It is really taking a toll on my marriage. My hubby is a mama’s boy! The lifestyles are just too different! There is always drama in her life and it really brings everyone around her down. I love my other in-laws, she just gets under my skin every chance she gets!! I am truly concerned about the effect her life will have on my kids. She has not seen my 1 yr old in 2mths because she will not call ahead of time because she feels like i am making her make an appointment if i ask her to give me some notice before visiting. (Hello, maybe sometimes I try to sneak a few private moments with my hubby when the kiddos are asleep!) HELP!

Here are ten useful tips of advice from a motorcycle accident lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a motorcycle accident in Santa Barbara, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com  and learning how we can assist you.

 

Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it may have been a few hours since the accident. However, if you ever have another accident, or if it’s only been a few hours since you were hurt, here’s what you should do from the start.

 

First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.

 

Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.

 

Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.

 

Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.

 

Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.

Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.

 

Seventh, call a good motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most motorcycle accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.

 

Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.

 

Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.

 

Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.

This life is too short and needs to be lived in the most creative and constructive manner. We all suffer from times that are trying and testing and on many occasions feel that we just can’t carry forward anymore. Many among us feel that we do need the help of some external driving force to keep us moving forward. On many occasions we feel compelled to fall for the various addictions like alcohol addiction, drug addiction or become victim to some other types of disorders like eating disorders. On many occasions we feel that only such addictions can have the solutions to all of our problems. But that is definitely not the case. Addiction of any kind can never solve any of our problems howsoever big or small they are. The best thing is that the help is just round the corner. There are many drug addiction treatment centers as well as eating disorder treatment, alcohol rehabs and addiction treatment centers that can help the people who are suffering from any of the addictions.

The addiction treatment programs that are offered at these centers are designed scientifically and are meant to treat the patient comprehensively. A lot of professionals that are involved in the drug rehab or the addiction treatment are themselves recovering from the malaise and thus are quite knowledgeable about the behavior that can help the patient in his treatment. The drug rehab or the alcohol rehab or any other addiction treatment programs need a specialized effort. Care needs to be taken that once the patient is out of the rehab then he doesn’t falls into a relapse.

Another important aspect of the addiction treatment programs is that the family of the patient is also counseled appropriately. The near and dear ones of the patient play a very important role in the complete treatment of the patient.
