my friend Lauren and i are really trying to convince her sister Amanda not to name her daughter Crystal as her boyfriends last name is Meeth and her daughters name would be Crystal Meeth, would sounds and looks like Crystal Meth. She says she doesnt want to name her daughter anything else because ever since she was a little girl she has wanted to name her daughter Crystal if she had a girl and her son Kendall if she had a boy. What should we do? Her child will go through hell in school

5 children, and he is the youngest. 2 of us are step, 3 are biological to my step mother. we are now all grown up, Late 20′s and early 30′s. in highschool me and him hung out and were like best friends. did some trouble which i grew out of. He just kept doing more and more illegal stuff and got deep into drugs. oldest sister has a family with 3 very nice boys, other sister has always held a GREAT paying job which takes time away from her children (parents look down on this), older brother does construction and lives with otherside of his family. does well for himself but is not very family oriented, comes around when he wants to (with my family i understand why), Me…I am in the military, served 5 tours, 4 to Iraq 1 to afghanistan, own my own home, live comfortably with new cars and 2 amazingly well behaved happy children (I seem to be blamed for most drama and problems of step mothes life).. youngest son DID drugs, he has receintly served 6 months in a bootcamp style court mandated rehab (mother says he picked it to get help, he didnt want jail), he has not held down job, lived off welfare, did drugs, had a meth-lab in his 1yr old son’s room, and now just broke parol and left state to got to a concert where he got busted selling drugs. 5 felony counts. mother still thinks he is a wonderful father and very noble taking the full sentance because he didnt turn in his supplier and get a deal. keeps his family safe that way. I know the problem is with the step mother.. common denominator in ALL drama, but why does the pride still maily remain with the child that has gone nowhere? she even has a count of days he has served thus far… its offensive.

There are so many parents, both moms & dads, that just up and leave their children.. Or lose custody and don’t fight to get it back. My mother lost custody of me when I was 8 & my sisters were 1, and 4. She never attempted to get us back. She when on to develop a more extreme addiction to crystal meth, and never looked back.

My sons father never even attempted to get to know him. He left when I was 4 months pregnant. I don’t understand how someone could just flat out not care, not have guilt, and not want to have their children.

How could somebody do this? How can someone just NOT care? Call me crazy, but I freak out leaving my son overnight, more less just giving up on him & not caring.

My husband & I have custody of his child that resulted from an on-night-stand that happened just before we met. We didn’t know about her until about a year ago. I know she needs me (her biomom is a meth-head) and I will take care of her. The problem is, I’m having problems with treating her totally different than my daughter. My husband tries to understand but ultimately thinks it’s not fair. My take on this is…I don’t mind to take care of her but I’m going to make 100% sure my daughter does not suffer because of it in any way.

P.S. We also have my step-son every other weekend, holidays & summer. He’s awesome and we couldn’t have a better relationship.

My daughter is 12, Step-son is 11, new step-daughter is 10.

Looking for comments/advise. Thanks

I am on the methadone program and have been clean and sober for 1 year 11 months and two days, up until Sunday evening that is. Now I didn’t use down which is good, but I did use meth. For what reason I don’t know, or I don’t know if I know. What I don’t know is what to do now. My idiot side feels like ‘oh well I used so maybe I should just keep on using’, but then the practical side says to just keep working one day at a time. So what if I had a slip. Obviously there is a reason I feel I should go back on drugs full time so maybe I need to figure out what is wrong. Or something. To be honest I am pretty disgusted with myself right now. I wasn’t even craving dope. I am so disapointed in myself I think it would be easier for me to continue on high rather than deal with being mad at myself. I promised my son (now 7) when I got clean that I would never use again and I let him down. He was not with me when I did it. I can’t tell him. & I have 2 know I failed him. I am so mad. What do I do?
‘Down’ is what I call morphine or heroin
I use to do both ‘up’ (meth) and then ‘down’ (heroin). That is why I am on the methadone program, it helps ppl get off and stay off ‘down’. The category that both heroin and morphine falls into is: ‘Opiates’
I have not done any of that. Only meth (speed).

I’ve read things like: “we are not deserving of God’s love”

Let’s say there is a God, this God created you as you are, imperfect on purpose. You are going to do negative things, according to a certain religion, the only perfect person was the Son of God. If you follow this religion (and I think you do) then you should be accepting of your shortcomings as human beings, and instead of focusing on what you’re doing wrong, instead think of ways to not do them, or to better yourself and the people around you.

If there is a God, and “He” is “all-loving” then why would you feel like you’re not “worthy of God”

Consequently, if I was a gay, meth addicted prostitute, two things would be true.

1) I have brought a lot of negativity on my life

and

2) I would be in shock of any “all-loving” God that didn’t see me worthy of this “glory”

Now I don’t believe in said religion, but for those that do stop focusing on the negative aspects in your life, forgive yourself.

After a 20 year marriage where drinking was an issue at times but the last year was drowned in crystal meth I left my then husband to protect my children. They are now young adults. I never went through the final chapter because he threatened to take my then teenage son away. I was stupid enough to believe that could happen. I know the answer already.

I was with a friend tonight and we picked up her son and when he got into the car i smelled ammonia badly along with regular body odor. If you use meth, do you leave a scent of ammonia? It was a very strong odor
NO…i am not the one that is doing it….and no i didnt just recently use ammonia to clean..my question is very honest and i heard that meth users carry that ammonia odor. BAD answer to the 1st person that answered my question.

How do i know if i have eczema or acne?
Im 26 now and for the past 16 years ive been suffering from an affliction of my skin.. i have been to 2 different doctors and one told me it was acne and the other said eczema.. ive seen pictures and read about both, but i dont know if i have either of them.. my skin does itch, and have red bumps that i can sqeeze, and it affects me from head to toe. they are in my hair, on my face, chest, arms, butt, and legs. Nothing has seemed to help cure my skin. oatmeal baths, creams, lotions, and diet dont seem to do anything. My hair has also thinned out. my skin condition seems to have started around the time i hit puberty. i used to have thick hair and now it is super thin. the “bumps” reoccur in the same places. The “bumps” are worse on my right arm than on my left. When i first noticed these “bumps” it started on my chest and then moved to my right arm. then it traveled to my face and scalp. recently ive been getting them on my thighs and the back of my calves (sp?). they seem to pop up in new places. i am frustrated and embarrassed. it is hard to be in public without people staring at you. when i gave birth to my son they accused me of doing Meth. please help me.

last night my friend went over to their house to check on the kids and i guess they totally were bashing me saying that i asked her boyfriend for meth in the laundry room! this was about 3 weeks ago and mind you hes mexican ,maybe he didn’t understand what i said but i asked him if he knew about an amp for my son’s new car because his (white) girlfriend works at a pawn shop and that all i said . should i try to tell the lady that or should i just ignore it?

This story is a little confusing so please try to bear with me. My husband and me were married over two years ago. He brought a daughter (who is now 15) who he has full custody of and I brought my two kids together and made a blended family. My husband’s ex-wife (my step daughter’s mom) had also remarried and had a six year old boy from her second marriage. One week before Christmas last years the ex-wife was arrested for manufacturing meth and DHS took her son an put him in an emergency shelter. Since my husband and me have full custody of his half sister and no one else wanted him the judge allowed us to become his foster parents and he lives with us. We found out this week (almost a year after this all started) that her rights have been terminated and DHS is starting the adoption process for him to be with us permanently. My question is how do you tell a seven year old boy that he will be grown before he sees his mom again and that he will be living with us from now on? He has not seen or spoke to her since she got arrested last December, she was out of jail till this past October when she was arrested again for falling to appear for her court dates. Thank you for any help you can provide.
He can’t see her, the judge said she is to have no contact with him period and that we would be held accountable if we let him see or talk to her.
