| im 17 and i have been the parent for years. My mom will just up and leave and wont come back for days, then when she does..shes high off meth! i dont know what to do. shes already been into rehab, she's going to NA meetings (i think) but when she not high and all that shit, she'll just sleep and tell me to do everything around the house! she says, "you dont know what its like to have a daughter that wants to be around you 24/7"..i think as a mother, that would be a gift. i have high expectations from her..i want her to be the mom who loves her children, puts them before anyone else, wants to actually do things with them. i dont know. i want her to be the "dream mom." my dad passed away almost 2 years ago and she thinks it gives her another excuse to do meth! thats bs! i miss my dad so {Censored!} much, but i dont go out with friends get high or get drunk! i tried talking to her, but she just gets mad and turns the table on me. dont get me wrong..i love her..i just dont know what to do?? |

| Do you have any family members that would take you in? I'm not sure there's anything else you can do but get out of that situation since those who don't want to be helped can't be. |

| Oh sweetie, as a mom I am horrified to read this. You need to find someone to talk to and maybe help you out of this situation. Are there other family members who you can talk to? Have you been to any meetings for family of users? Do you have any siblings or are you the only child? I want to help you. I need more information. |

| Wow!! This is a terrible situation you are dealing with. Drug addiction is a very serious and powerful thing. I know you are sick of being the parent and it's hard to not feel important to your mom, but understand that when she is under the powerful influence of drugs that you are not dealing with her true person. And meth is a terribly powerful drug. I understand that you are almost 18 (legally an adult) and right now you really need the support of your mother or somebody to help you build a future, so this is a tough experience for you right now. It is entirely normal for drug addicts to become angry and defensive when you try to talk about their problem, and meth can make people violent as well. I would try to get her more help, but she has to be ready and wanting of it. She is probably still under the stress of losing your dad as well. So, she may not be ready. I am sorry. It is tough, but given that you are almost 18, maybe you should start working on plans for yourself. You are obviously very smart and capable given that you haven't really had parental figures and you've made it this far with a good head on your shoulders. Good luck and stay strong!! |
