- I am at a lost. Does anyone know if a person with a mental illness can be forced into care? My mom is in her 60s, has mental health issues dating 40 years back, and is a heavy crack user. Worse now than ever. She is doing stuff I never imagined...
- For the first time I thought about me this Mother's Day. Being around my mom is draining so all I did was call. I spent the weekend with my husband and children and put my phone down. I had a wonderful weekend not trying to fix momma.
- Imagine have a crack addicted mom for you whole life. As a child running in and out of crack houses to get her and now worrying all night if she is alright. I refuse to go into one of those places. I have three boys that depend on me. I pray to...
- Do anyone know the steps I will need to take to place mom in a home. She obviously can't live alone and she can't live with me and my family because she is toxic. I am exhausted. She will be 64 this year. She is mentally ill and she has a crack...
- I know my mom probably hates me right now. Last night she call after being missing for three days. She gave her dealer her car in exchange for drugs and they left her stranded. She say she didn't know what to do and to come get her. I told her...
- Why do I keep doing this to myself? I said I wouldn't help her or talk to her as long as she continued to use and not help herself. I can't focus at work or home. I am so tired. You would think I would be use to this by now. Having an addict...
- I am trying to make a serious effort to detach myself from my momma. I have to. Every time I talk to momma I get in a really bad mood and take it out on everyone else around me. I talk to her for five minutes and then I'm pissed the rest of the...
- I feel really bad for having these thoughts. I have daydreamed of getting the call and saying it's over. She died peacefully. I don't want her to suffer by someone beating the hell out of her for owing them money. My kids do have good memories...
- Well after 1 1/2 year sober we are in the same place again. Mom has relapsed yet again. 62 and still the same BS. Will it ever stop? I give up. I need to worry about those I brought in the world and put less focus on her. The horrible thing is...
- Just updating you on mom. She is a year and 1 month clean!! Crazy the last time she went to rehab I didn't even take her seriously. I had given up on her. Glad that didn't deter her. When she got out of rehab she moved to a small town . She...
- Many of you know I have an addict mother. She does good for a month and finds any excuse to relapse. We'll latest was last night right after I took money from my very low savings (thanks to always helping her and my brother in jail) to pay her...
- I have come to the conclusion that she won't change. My sister that usually won't be bothered lent her the money to pay her dealer and not even two days later she is at it again. Unbelievable.
- My sister and I had a conversation last night about our mom. Mom called her daughter who is eight months pregnant and had her all upset. My sister was pretty upset about momma crediting so much. She was suppose to go get her last night to spend...
- I received a phone call from my niece who is eight months pregnant upset because she talked to my mom. She ask her to tell me that she owes her dealer $1300. Alot more than her check that she gets. My niece is all upset but I am not paying a...
- I hate hearing that addiction is a disease. Everytime I hear my mom say that is ticks me off. I feel like that is an excuse. Diabetes is a disease and if you keep eating wrong YOU make it worse. Same with addiction, if you keep using YOU make it...
