Mental illness and alcohol are factors; also last contact included some violence. Children are not allowed by father to discuss it openly, except to demonize mother. Counseling currently not an option. Looking for an age appropriate book, perhaps, that deals with loss – specifically loss by choice. A parent resource would be good also. I am aunt of children; concerned about possible feelings of misplaced guilt, anger, loneliness, love.

to recomment to a friend. She has been dealing w/ an out of control, drug addict, alcoholic son for almost 10 years now. She has tried to get him help but nothing has worked so far. This is really affecting her everyday life and it would be great if someone that has gone through a similar situation could recommend a place where she, herself can get counseling to deal with this issue.
Thanks 
oh yea and sorry, local as in “southern cali” area 
This movie came out a couple years ago. It’s about two thieves, one has a wife and a son(i think) and gets really messed up with cocaine. Then I think he starts smoking it. I can’t remember much about the other guy but in one scene he finds the drug addict guy in some crappy apartment pretty much OD’d. There is also a scene in a bar where the guy that’s messed up with drugs punches some guy for getting in his way or something small like that. If I remember correctly these guys steal stuff and I think there is a big job lined up while that guys drug problem is going on. I think maybe at the end the guys friend does the job without him gets killed and after that the druggie straightens up.
I think the movie probably came out in 2008 or around there somewhere.
This has been bugging me for hours so if anybody can help me out I would appreciate it.
Another thing was that I think the guy that was doing the drugs was narrating throughout.

Anyone know where I can find a family lawyer that does Pro Bono in the state of Wisconsin closer to Madison for mothers? I’m trying to get placement and custody of my son who is disabled and his father has 50/50 with me but he got popped for selling cocaine and intent to deliver twice. My son was with him during this time. The courts still gave him 50/50. This is not a place for my son. Help!
I’ve goggled and found a few. My son’s father and I split because of drinking. I really still love him and want him to quit. it’s getting worse. I want to stage an intervention, I know he need to want to quit, and he does want to, he just doesn’t have the support. I want to focalize and organize the support he needs.
I think that one thing I can do is email him poems everyday. This is a big message to him, trust me. Can you help me collect some?
thanks

My son recieves a social security check and has med-cal insurance.We live in Fullerton Calif.
My alcoholic sister (whom I dearly love) has been visiting for a week. She’s been drinking a little every day. She is always worse than I thought she is. I don’t get to see her much. The first morning she even had the shakes really bad and had to take alchohol to get rid of them.
Her legs are so weak she can barely walk. She says it’s from a stroke she had two years ago? She never went for therapy, of course…
She was on my back deck smoking a cigarette, I went out front to do some work for 20 minutes, I came back into the house and she was flat on her back on the floor, eyes real big and open, she had froth around her mouth and seemed incoherent. Within seconds her legs drew up a bit, every part of her was shaking, she looked pale, she could not speak but looked as though trying to answer me, her hands went back and forth. I of course called 911.
The episode lasted maybe 4-5 minutes. By the time the ambulance got here, she was coherent, she claimed she was sleeping (duh).
She had fallen twice few days before (which is not unusual for her) and she got severely bruised on every part of her body including above her right eye. (She says her blood thinners make her bruise easily). The paramedics said her coumadin might be too strong since the bruises are so dark looking.
She went without any of her meds for an entire year and only two months ago started taking them again. (She doesn’t ever want to go to the doctor’s for a check-up and refills on the prescriptions).
The paramedics said her blood pressure was high. And, because she was now coherent, they could not “force” her to go to the hospital. My sister refused to go and get checked out.
She will most likely NOT go to be checked at all, and I would like to know what sounds like might have happened with her from anyone who has had experience with alcoholics and stroke victims.
I know I cannot make her quit drinking. I know in my heart she will most likely die young (she’s 56 years old) on me, and I cry and dread the day. The paramedics seem to think it was a seizure. Her son whom she lives with says this type thing never happened before. Could this have been a seizure/stroke?
To make a long story short. I was addicted to crack cocaine and left my husband and children at home. I was sent to prison for crimes I committed to get my drugs. While incarcerated my children were place in the CHINS program. When I was released from prison, one year later, I signed over my parental rights. Due to the fact that I could not promise my children let alone myself I could stay straight, nor did I have a place to stay. As of today I have been clean and sober for three and a half years. I am remarried to a great man and am the proud mother of a three year old. I am in a stable and loving environment today and work a twelve step program daily. I found out that the adoptive parents has placed the eldest back into adoption. I want to find him. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about those children. I would greatly appreciate suggestions. Thanks and God Bless!
Just to make this clear I did not indulge in crack cocaine and or alcohol while carrying any of my children. I understand that my eldest did not want another mother in his life but ME. As far as my three year old she was three months old when I chose to stop drinking.

My mother-in-law continues to enable and rescue her 45 year-old abusive son. He hits her, yells at her, cusses at her and yet she just tells the rest of the family that he is sick and needs help. She accepts his behavior and never sets any boundaries. She drives him everywhere (has so many DUIs that his license was taken away), pays his bills, etc. I would love a book for her that specifically deals with these issues.
I need to get my son admitted into a drug rehab, and I want to know how I could find one that would be right for him.
a small mount of each less than a half gram at least that is the story i got any idea in the trouble he is looking at
