How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

Of course I am talking about the drug abuser who gave her three year old son weed and cocaine. The child tested positive for these drugs and the test showed long term use.

Why on earth would any American court allow this mother, even after rehab and ‘parenting classes’, to have her son back?

I believe a b*tch like this does not deserve to have any children at all!!!

What is going on with the “mothers” in today’s society? There have been so many cases of mothers and family memebers giving toddlers drugs and alcohol within this last year. The cases I’ve heard of are: the uncles who let there 2 and 4 year old nephews smoke weed; the mother that gave her two MONTH year old vodka; the baby found with meth in his system; and of course the current case above.

I pray for the safety of our children and I would like to know what the fck is up with these people!

hi. well here goes. my auntie just had a brain hemerage and died before i could even see her again and my husband has been the worst ass hole ever! i get yelled at for everything like having even one dish in the sink or the fact my son tipped the cat food on the floor while i was in the toilet etc. ive been so badly binge eating crap because its the only thing that makes me happy. i feel i want to be alone and i don’t want to go outside! i don’t have time for a barth or a book and i cant go to the shops because money is tight. my family are really great and supportive people but since the death its all been fighting over the will and cort battles for them {dad has 6 brothers and sisters and since he was the favorite then he got left all the house and money and assets and all his family want their fair share and cant decide what the want etc] so they just couldn’t handel messed up me and a over active child put on them! plus they run their own business and are training a new Secretary. i have only but one friend who is awesome and great but works full time then has family commitments so i don’t see her much. i just feel really moody and overwhelmed i don’t even ever want to talk or get out of bed, i don’t like outside or going to the park anymore and ive started to not like my son and see him as a pain and a hardship on me, which is so sad as he is a well behaved little boy and very bright but im just angry and withdrawn from him all day. what can i do? i just have lost happiness and all motivation for everything.
feel if i had my own way id like to sit down all alone in my house all day with the curtains drawn [so in darkness] and be silent.
oh and the leave my boy with my husband and go out for awile isnt gunna work. he isnt much of a farther just a good money provider. he wouldnt help if his life depended on it.

My brtoher, my only brother and sibling (no sisters), got married at 23 going on 24. so for him, kinda youngish. also he had just got out of college, it wasn’t the right time really. well a year later he developed a bad habit of binge drinking, which got him 3 dui’s in the same year, 4 emergency hospitalizations bc he drank rubbing alcohol after running out of regular alcohol, and several times in rehab. his wife got pregannt about 2 months b4 i did, and about 5 months into her pregnancy, he stopped his binge drinking and seemed to have changed. well 2 months after their daughter was born, he was back to it again. his daughter, now 6 months, has wound up getting hrut from it. the day afetr ym baby who si now 3 months was born, his wife claims that he had tried to kill their daughter by trying to choke her—she told my father this and I found out through the grapevine—in a drunken rage when she was crying. then, just a week ago, in one of his drunken states, he held her and she fell, with him, and had bruises on her body so she had to be examined. that was when his wife made him go to our aprents’ hosue and he stayed for an week. well hes back there again, and he got drunk again, with the baby with him alone. my sil went to work tonight, and she called my parents and said she was frantic that he was doing something to their daughter or neglecting her. I felt bad for her, but couldnt help but wonder why if she was worried about the very life of her daughter, she didn’t just leave work? she claims she would get fired bc she was the only one there 9it’s a store in the mall0 but is anything worth more than your daughter/ I told her this and got her to leave work. But I am still in a state of shock over my brother whom Ive never known to be a ‘bad’ or violent person. I am terribly worried about my niece and something happening to her, and also him, bc of his drinking. I also feel bad for his wife and my parents, bc his wife always calls them almost every time he “acts up” (b4 their daughter was born too), which in a way is not fair to my parents bc they’re older and hes a grown man, 28 years old. anyhow, how can I help my brother?
i have a 3-month-old myself and am afraid to even leave her in the same room alone with him for a min now. (when eh comes over and I’m there with her). I am also wondering if I should offer to watch their daughter for a few days/ (her parents already have their hands full with her siblings)?
also, I know this is babys ection, but I posted this in family as well, but I wanted to psot here bc it does involve some aspects of aprenting. also bc I’m stressed otu for ym brother, and terrified of soemthing happenign to him or my niece, and feeling bad for his wife, and also my parents, bc he is their only son, how can I not let this affect my parenting/ bc also my parents were partly my support system, and now I have almost no support system, bc they are now trying to focus their energy on helping him, which I think si what is necessary, but its also scary for me
is there any1 at all who can give me some advice? also, any1 else who has similar issues with their family that is also a new parent?

My sons mother wants to let her see him but i don’t believe it is a good idea…. She is always high and sometimes turns violent. My sons mother thinks I don’t want her to see him because I’m angry at her. That’s not the case. I want my son to be in a safe place at all times and i don’t think that she is safe to be around. Thanks for your help.

My nephew is 3 1/2 and his mom left him 6 months ago. She is heavily involved in drugs. He has had no contact with her but occasionally speaks about her. He is in a stable environment and well taken care of although we are trying to find information on counseling or therapy for him. Because of his age and all he has been through we don’t know what would be a benefit to him. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

My mother is an alcoholic. She refuses to admit she has a problem and she storms out of the room with anger every time I want to talk about her problem. She refuses to get any help. She says, “I am the mother and you are the son, I tell you what to do, not the other way around”
I just don’t know where to turn. My dad won’t help, my parent’s are divorced and he won’t get involved, nor will any other family. If she’s not willing to get help for herself, is there anything at all I can do?

I have a very delicate family situation that I need help with. I have a 10 year old nephew that has a drug addict for a Mother (47) and a Father(39) who will do nothing to get her help. She has been on drugs since she was 18. She has been arrested once, and he got her out of it. She has shown up at the child’s school so blasted out of her mind that the school nurse had to drive her home. She has had several escapes with the police, including two serious auto accidents caused by her drug-induced stupor. Yet he always gets her out of it. Also her twisted, drug enhanced views and paranoia are beginning to pervert the boy’s personality. He is very withdrawn and superstitious due to the crap she fills his head with. I am tempted to call CPS to do an investigation. I wonder if authorities will allow my nephew to stay with his Father or if they will allow me to take custody until she gets the help that she needs.
What are your views and suggestions?

Just wondering if I am in the wrong here. My husband and I are expecting a baby, I am due in three months. Well I’m feeling concerned about how his mother is going to be once the baby is born. We need to set some serious boundaries, but I want to know if I am going too far?

To give you a little background, my MIL has a serious problem with alcohol, she has been an alcoholic since my husband was a baby. When my husband was young she was verbally abusive and he was even taken away from her to live in foster care for a period of time. And now, she is drunk every single night. She has come to our house completely unannounced when she is drunk, and every time it has happened it is always late at night, around 10-11 pm. Completely unacceptable. My husband and I have been together for 8 years and have been married for 3. This entire time she has either acted like I don’t exist when I am in the same room with her, or has said horrible things about me behind my back. But now that we have a baby on the way, she is finally wanting to get to know me. The problem is, I would rather just have a polite relationship where we are civil when we do see each other, but I really don’t want to get close to her because I have seen how she treats her son and other members of their family. She is very manipulative and delusional about reality (I am guessing due to her little drinking problem) and throws a fit if she can’t have her way. I have no idea how my husband turned out so normal.

These are the guidelines I am going to put in place when my son is born.. do these seem reasonable?

1. She will not be allowed to watch our son alone when he is at least a baby/toddler because I do not trust that she will keep him safe or that she will stay sober while he is with her.

2. She can come over to our house and visit my son as much as she wants DURING THE DAYTIME if she calls ahead and checks that we are able to have company. There will be no barging in unannounced, especially late at night.

3. We will not bring our son over to her house, even if we will be there with him, because it REEKS of smoke and is completely filthy (we are talking cat poop smashed into the carpets that she never cleans up and a thick layer of cat fur covering EVERYTHING).

There is this girl named britney in my town she’s 17 years old and has a 1 year old son. britney and her family have a bad reputation Basically they are well known for causing problems. britney’s mother is a alcoholic who doesn’t have a problem watching her grandson while under the influence. britney’s father committed suicide when she was young sadly although who could blame him, after all that family is trouble. her two brothers are in and out of jail… anyway recently Child Protective Services took her son in their custody because she was snorting prescription pills, smoking crack, and possibly shooting heroin, her son tested positive for drugs.. and because the family is unstable the boy will probably go to a adoption agencie since britney doesn’t know who fathered her son. will she get into trouble for having drugs in her son’s system?
will the mother be sent to juvenile intill she’s 21?
The mother neglects her child by not watching him properly. she takes him out without dressing him warmly Not putting a jacket on him, or hat and gloves. she takes her son out for a walk 2:00 in the morning and later then that strolling him arould when she has no business being out in the first place. she starts fights with people and becomes very violent in front of her son, (she’ll fight another person with her son there)
Because we live in a small town basically everyone is in everybody else’s business therefore rumors are spreading about her alot. of course Child Protective Services did take her child but people are talking about why they took him from her. she deserved it she shouldn’t have children when she can’t even take care of herseif, britney will probably grow up and be just like her mother a alcoholic with four more misfits as children just like her siblings.

Sorry if my question was not really a question, but it is an odd situation I am in and I need some advice!!

I was best friends with a girl since I was 10 years old. We hung out just about everyday until we turned 17 years old. At that point in time she was starting to hang out with the wrongs friends and got into drugs. Now I am 23 years old, married and live a happy life without any drama or craziness. It seems as though every time she gets on the right path again she calls me. (She has been on and off drugs since she was 17!) Well she keeps on losing my number or maybe just keeps getting hooked on drugs, but called me today after not speaking for over a year. She said that everyone she knows is a screw up but me and wants me to be the god parent of her soon to be son! As you know I didn’t talk to her for a whole year and had NO idea she was even pregnant! Well in shock that she found me again and completely overwhelmed I said I would get back to her. I have NO idea what to do. In a way I owe it to the baby to have a normal life if god forbid something happens to her (which there is a high chance of happening given her past) or I try again to keep her out of my life and close the door in her face which seems mean. So advice pleeaaaasssseeeeee!!!!
I think she pops into my life because I am the only thing that has ever been stable in her life. Well I am assuming this, she says even though we never speak I am still her best friend. Whenever we speak she brings up what we spoke about dealing with our future. Example when we were kids we dreamed of living together and having this perfect life, but that has obviously changed and she doesn’t see that! In a way I feel bad for the child, she is not a bad person, but should not have had a child. I think the longest she stood in one place was 3 months. She is constantly moving and her life is never together. Right now she has no heat or electric!!! If this is the case will I legally get the child???

son rescued by calling neighbors wife on abductors telephome while hiding in their bathroom neighbors wife rescuse him from abductors home after making decision to kill (shoot) abductors who were in possession of two children. Boy returns home. House on fire. His mother commits suicide by sticking her head in oven. Boy leaves with family next door the father has to leave with entire family who changes identity. They all start a new life after neighbors father is presumed dead.

My sister got out of jail 5 months ago and everyone but my mother thinks she is using meth again. By the way my sister lives with my mother and her 6 year old son. Any advice on dealing with it?My sister is slowly killing herself. This enabling has happened before. My sister used meth for 3 years prior to 5 months ago.

I have 4 Sisters and I’m the only son and live nearly 300 miles from my Mother. She is 77 and befriends troubled people and drug addicts. Some have even taught her how to shoot her pain medications like Heroine into her veins. Now she is selling her (Dilaudid, Xanax and Morphine Patches) meds and I’m worried she may eventually get assaulted, robbed or even murdered.

I’ve confronted her before about her drug use that is supposed to be for pain, but, she is hard-headed and very difficult. I am a Disabled Veteran with a bad heart and M.S., and a Spinal Cord injury, and it causes me a lot of stress over this, but, I’m not sure what to do.

I know my Mother could be busted by the Law, and she could even be committed under an intervention, but, then she plays the Suicide Card. I feel trapped and damned if I do something and damned if I don’t.

I could really use and appreciate some thoughtful feedback on this! Has anyone out there been in this position before? HELP!

My ex-girlfriend drank and drugged during the entire 9 months she was pregnant with my son. I got so mad that she wouldn’t stop that I hit her when she was 7 months. i went to jail and now she has my son. i still hate her for poisoning my son. I had no prior history of violence in anyway so this was a shock to everyone. It was a bigger shock that I got involved with her in the first place but I cant go back and change it. She is the addict, and I am the straight one that can’t be with my son until next year. Any advice anyone??

My 4 yr old grandsons mother has gone off on another drug binge and again says she does not want him, my son needs custody, how do we register him for school with her not around, we don’t know what the next step should be, how do we legally handle things when we don’t know where the mother is? School starts in our area in 2 weeks.

He graduated high school with a computer tech I certificate. I sent him to live with his Father, but Dad is in and out of town on work alot. SOn is partying then and inviting up buddies last wk while dad out of town

She doesn’t even want to live there and doesn’t want our baby to.Her parents want complete control of the baby.They have no stable place to live,they threaten her if she even lets our baby come to my house.They don’t even have a house,they stay back n forth between friends and family members.I want my son to be safe.What rights do I have?

A son was doing crack and there was a warrant out for his arrest. As soon as the mother found out the guy was dealing and smoking crack, she phoned in the warrant to the sheriff’s department to have him picked up. What is your opinion on this?????
