Can Someone Help Me Figure Out How to React to My Mothers Drug Addiction?
Question by Ghf Ghf: can someone help me figure out how to react to my mothers drug addiction?
Apoligies on how long this is :/ please just read it PLEASE
Ever since I was really young I can remember my mother being in bed for days at a time and I never thought anything of it, around 6th grade I started to realize that she was addicted to perscription drugs and soon after that she was arrested and spent 3 months in county jail. when she got out I believed it would all be better again and we could just go back to normal (although we had never experienced the normal I was looking for) she starteed to fall back into her old sleeping schedule and then went back to jail.
when she got out I spent some time with my dad (he took custody of me) a few months of her being clean she decided to go for half custody and I made it clear that I wanted that, so she got half custody and then again went back to jail for the same thing she only spent a month in jail but when she got back out she managed to stay clean for a year (present day) and she met this guy named chris and hes rich… xD she borrowed 250$ from him for a doctors appoitment that didnt happen and now shes at grandpas house and shes really sick and she is showing all the signs of drug withdrawls. I dont know what to do anymore. I want her to hurt but I know thats not healthy xD
what should I do? she denys it all “I havent touched drugs in over a year” (when I know shes lieing)
oh yeah and we never have any money and I dont see why she has a job and chris is always paying for her stuff yet she digs for change under seats for gas money (yet another sign of drug addiction)
WHAT SHOULD I DO? How should I confront her?
