How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

We will help your son fight his addcitions!

Browsing Posts tagged situation.

I came home from an exhausting day of work, which ended up being a 12 hour day (had to pick up the slack for a couple people who had been laid off, we’re all going through this economic struggle am i right?). I came home, got myself a beer from the fridge, and thought I could finally relax. I went to check on my wife who was asleep and decided to see what my boy Jeff was up to.
Heres where it gets awkward… I knocked on his door, and heard him kind of panic, and wanted to make sure he wasn’t doing anything he wasn’t supposed to, I’ve caught him drinking my beer before and I thought I noticed a couple missing from the fridge. Now I like to think I’m pretty liberal with my son in terms of not going overboard when I catch him with alcohol (he’s 14) and I want to make sure he keeps it in check. When I went in I saw him struggling to get his belt back on and he closed his laptop quickly. It was an awkward situation and I just appologized for barging in and thought I would leave it at that (no need to make a big deal out of it). While he was out with his friends the next day I decided to check the history on his laptop just to make sure what he was looking at was healthy. What I discovered was a very unnatural fettish. I don’t know if anyones heard of the site mybeasttube (definitely NSFW) but its pretty much a youtube of beastiality.
I am concerned about my son, and while I believe he has a right to live any lifestyle he wants this in my eyes is too much. Anyway I guess what I’m asking is that I am desperate for advice on how to approach him on this. Everytime I see him its been so awkward, and difficult to face him. How do I approach this? Should I tell my wife and risk embarrasing the boy or do I keep this between us men? Do I just let this go and hope this is just some weird phase?
I hope you all understand how difficult this is for me as a parent…

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.

What should I do in this situation with my son?
I recently found out through my son’s cousin that my son (14) has recently been drinking a lot with some of his friends. I honestly have no idea what to do or how I should do it, this actually started maybe a month ago, my son was staying with his aunt and uncle and his cousin (ironically, the one who told me what was happening) were caught drinking the uncle’s beer. I thought it was maybe just a one time thing, all I did was tell him how disappointed I was in him, and I grounded him. I guess what shocks me the most was his mother was an alcoholic, that’s why I left his mother (and him, up until last year) and because of that his mother was abusive towards him and she’d hit him and stuff. I’m really worried that he might have picked up him mom’s addiction or something. My son already goes to counseling and I tell him all the time he can talk to me about anything. When I first found out about it me and him talked to his counselor about it, and he said he wouldn’t do it again. He has been through kind of a lot but I don’t think that’s an excuse for his behavior. What should I do? Should I confront him? Punish him? Talk to him some more? (I talked to him the first time and he just freaked out on me, I think I made it worse) Any advice?

talking very vulgarly, loud, demands attention, talks over everyone, speaks of suicide, I have called crisis center and had the police escort him there but he plays it off to the doctors that he is completely normal and has no issues but when he comes back home he acts out immediately. He feels he is hated by everyone. I have 3 younger children and this has affected all of us. Now we are hostile towards him. He is also recently been discovered that he was using meth, Ecstasy, weed ect. I have tried to take him to go to rehab he refuses to go and he was ordered by the court to take anger management classes which he also failed to do. He blames me for all of his problems and takes no personal responsibility. He also has an ex girlfriend that put a restraining order against him and she has been rubbing in his face that she cheated on him so he is threating to cut his throat in front of her to show her how much she hurt him. I called the suicide hotline and the only advice they gave me is he is acting like someone who is on serious drugs and he needs to take care of that problem. He is in complete denial about everything. My options are limited considering he is a legal adult and I can’t force him to do anything. I don’t want to give up on him but I don’t know how much more I can deal with. What are my options for him considering he is a legal adult? help . Mom in desperation.!

because she tested positive for Meth when she gave birth. The baby was taken the following day and placed in a foster home for a couple of months and then given to our Aunt while my cousin has been going through drug rehab, parenting classes, etc. Well, my Aunt has had him for many months now… the baby is actually 11 months old. The courts have allowed my cousing to see the baby twice a week unsupervised now for a couple hours each day… and she recently put in for overnight visits (waiting for court approval). She says that she is “stage 4″ in the program. The court date to determine whether or not her rights will be severed or she’ll regain custody is in a couple months. Does it sound like the courts are heading in the direction of reuniting her with the baby? My Aunt is distraught because she is worried the courts will give my cousin custody. What do you think? Who do you think will get custody? Anyone know what “stage 4 means” and how the system works?? Thanks.
We’re in California. She has also signed away the rights to her older two children when she was found in a drug house and CPS was going to put the kids in foster care. She signed them over to their fathers. She never sees them. The man she is with, the father of the baby is a felon and is still doing drugs.

Hi there. I really need some help here. My sister found out not super long ago that her fiance was cheating on her with other women and leading a double life behind her back. Drugs and alcohol factor into this. Basically, the fiance would rather put getting high or drunk and sleeping around before my sister and the two kids they had out of wedlock. The fiance has since moved out of the home and is living on his own.

My big concern is my sister’s oldest child that she had with this guy, a 6 (almost 7) year old son. Since this whole thing went down, poor Dawson has been showing signs of anger and resentment towards his father. Do I blame him? No, and the reason why is because I can relate to what Dawson is going through (when I was Dawson’s age, my father abandoned me in favor of cocaine). Still, it bothers me to see my little nephew so unhappy, and I’d hate to see him grow up as bitter and resentful towards his father as I am towards mine. Is there anything I can do to help Dawson?
I really want to help Dawson cope with this, but I don’t know how without projecting my feelings of resentment, anger and disappointment towards my own father onto my sister’s ex. What can I do to help my nephew?

One night last month, I came home from work like any other night of the year. Upon arriving, I immediately noticed an odd, acrid smell. I instantly realized it be be smoke from rock cocaine, which my son has had a problem with in the past few months of his life. Him having quit, I was extremely angered by what I thought to be him reverting back to drugs. As it turns out, it was actually my seven year old daughter with a homemade pipe, and cocaine inside of it. I walked in just as her brother was holding the lighter to the pipe. She is now addicted, but I can never catch her doing it nor can I find where they keep it. I can smell it on her, though, so I know she’s doing this. Advice!? Please help!

My sons father and I where together for 3 yrs everything was great.. Then along came our beautiful son and he became INSTANTLY jealous and very controlling… He was verbally abusive and always very irate… So i needless to say kicked him out.. he had hit our son.. ( i mean it got so bad that I would never ever never ever leave our son alone with him, always fearing he would do harm to him) Well he threatened to kidnap our son.. Which i have custody of… Well once i kicked him out he up’d and left and went to florida….. Never called, visited nor wrote…. I heard he came back up here adn robbed a pharmacy and went back to Florida with all the pills he stole.. ( hes a drug addict and a alcoholic ) ****like i said he was never like this before our son was born****… well needless to say bounty hunters came here looking for him so obviously he did rob the place… He moved back to Michigan 3 blocks from our house still never called nor visited… He got arrested in southfrield Michigan for doing a home invasion the day he came back.. Now hes in prison for 6-30 yrs and facing additional charges for the robbery to the pharmacy…

But my question to you is what would you say to your son when he gets older and ask about his dad??? I do not want to lie to him what so ever, and i don’t want to sugar coat his dad either and make him think he’s some wonderful loving man that just hasn’t been around because hes in prison.. I mean he was here 2 yrs before he got arrested and never had a care in the world about us…

Can you give me some incite on what i should tell him about his dad (aka sperm donor) when hes old enough to understand.. Because im sure he will ask about him.

I am a single mom of the sweetest little boy in the whole world. Yesterday at bed time, he began to get very upset. He is not a child to be upset easily and is one of the most laid back kids in the world. He told me he could not tell me what happened. He said he knew I would be disappointed in him. Well I coxed him and promised him I would not get upset. He finally admitted to me that a little girl that lives in our apartments exposed herself to him. Up until this moment I felt like he was to young to know about the differences between boys and girls. And he had not really asked me any questions. I previously caught this same little girl trying to get my son to touch her private parts with a pop up toy. I talked to my son, and then I spoke to my sister who has kids and works for child welfare. She said it could be chalked up to either someone touching this kid or just natural childhood curiosity. My son is restricted to playing with her only once a week, and they are not allowed to be alone in any house together. This last incident happened outside.
My son told me that a four yr. old instructed the 6 yr. old girl and my son to show their privates. He says that the little girl did it, but that he did not. Now, I absolutely believe my son. But, it may have happened a little differently. Perhaps my son even showed his and is to worried to tell me.
I told him naked bodies were natural and that boys and girls are different. That girls have vaginas and boys have penises. I told him that no one should see his private parts. Not unless he needed me to check it or a doctor. Otherwise, nobody. And I told him that it was not appropriate to look at other peoples private parts. I said I understood his curiosity, but that our bodies are private. I said if he had any questions at all, then he could ask me anything. These kids constantly knock on my door looking for my son. No matter how many times I say he cannot play it happens over and over again.
I am going to report that I suspect the little girl is being sexually molested or has been. I know she is neglected, because I see her let outside to play for hours on end, even past dark all by herself. No adults checking on her at all.
She has shown other strange behavior, that I do not see expressed by my niece who is the same age or any of the kids in my sons class.
I have issues with my ex and I have out right refused to allow him access to my son. He is a horrible example and horrible father. An alcoholic and a sociopath. SO, I am afraid that the mother of the little girl will make accusations against me, or my family when I make the report. But, I feel like I have no other choice. SHe is a sweet little girl and she doesn’t deserve the life she is living. But, really what child does. There are also several other huge issues. (The mother, Grandmother, and Grandfather of the little girl are all chain smokers. The light up in a closed in one bedroom with the little girl in the house.) Every time she is in my house she reeks of smoke. I do not allow my child inside of anyones house at all. If you were me, what would you do? I can go on for hours but, I know you guys will get tired of reading. I really need some good advice. Please help.
Hey I just read some of the response, it seems like one person didn’t read the whole thing. The girl is for sure neglected. I met her as she just turned five and she has showed odd behaviors, and been left outside for hours, no one checking on her, except me. When I moved in here. The first couple of weeks she would be in the house with my then 5 year old son. Playing in the living room or running aroud. For hours. No parent ever came to meet me or even see where she was. EVER. Two weeks went by and I began to suspect that there was no parent. So I went to the apartment with her.
Her adopted grandmother watches her why the mother is at work. No one, ever checks on her to this day. I live in Las Vegas. I check on my little boy every 10 minutes and he is not allowed to play out of my range of vision.
I really hope I am being paranoid. But, I don’t think so…
You know what I read answers from people and was horrified. Oh yes, it is totally inappropriate to think that it is normal for a little girl of 5 years old to ask a little boy to bounce a toy off of her Vagina repeatedly. It is also inappropriate after the little girl has been told not to show her private parts, for her to take off her pants outside at the request of a four year old. This little girl is not stupid. How do I know their neglecting her? Obviously you didn’t read when I said the first 2 weeks I lived here she was in my house for days on end. No one came to check on her. 3 or 4 or even more hours. They did not know me, or anything about me.
People like this are why so many f’in people get away with being abusers. The reason I am scared about her family becoming upset with me, is because I just don’t want to stir up any trouble. The father of my son is an alcoholic and a sociopath he drinks and drives with his current girlfriends 2 yr. old in the car, no car seat.

Your Open QuestionShow me another ยป
Very very fusterated with my friend.. advice please..?
i have no one to talk to about this. my best friend of like 14 years makes me very angry!! she is 25. she has 3 kids. a 5 year old and twin 5 month olds by two different dads that she is no longer with. one is in prison and the other is in another state and doesn’t pay child support. she hasn’t had a job in two years. she isn’t disabled and can work if she would take the time to look for a job. she lives off what the government and others give her. gets good stamps and a medical card.

two years ago her mom and her long term boyfriend split up. her mom moved out of town. so she decided to stay and live with her moms boyfriend. that’s when all her problems started. now there living in a tiny two bedroom apartment above a bread factory. the apartment isn’t even considered rental property. there are holes and cracks all over the walls and windows. its in a very unsafe neighborhood. right after she first moved in, i stopped over, i kid you not, there was a dirty needle of some sort sitting on the front steps of there apartment!! there are homeless people walking around everywhere. when they did have a car, people always broke into it. they cant even leave a grill on the front steps without it being stolen..

for the past two years, mike, his friend, tosha, and now 3 kids live in this apartment!! only one of them has a part time job. no car, no nothing. there is always heavy smoking, pot smoking, and drinking going on over there. this morning when i went to pick her son up from school, this guy was sitting on the couch drinking a beer at 8am!! they openly smoke pot around the children! there are bongs laying around.. overfilled ashtrays.. this place is nasty!!

i feel so guilty that the kids have to live through this!! tosha never complains about it!! i keep trying to push her and talk to her about it, but she doesnt seem bothered by it. i offer to take her to look for jobs and do things to improve her life. she just wont!! i cant take her in my house. she lived with me before. she quit her job and stuck me with rent and a cellphone bill. i cant trust her.

i dont want to betray her.. but she needs a serious reality check!! those kids dont need to live like that!! if she were trying to better herself and was just there for the time being, i could see that.. i am seriously considering reporting her to dcfs.. would i be right in doing that? i feel guilty letting them live like that. but then i would feel guilty reporting her too?

grrr!! any advice is appreciated!!

i just found out last night that they now dont have hot water and have to boil water just to take baths.
i feel much better after posting this. i have asked for advice from a couple other close friends and they actually told me it wasnt my place to get involved. the last thing i want is kids being taken away from there mother. but if she isnt going to help herself to help these kids.. i have to live with the guilt that they are in the situation there in. unless i do something, it may never change. and i know she could change which is hard. i think i am going to report her. but im going to be there to help her along the way too.

I moved in with my best friend on September 21st. I fell behind on my rent and had to move out of my apartment and she had just broken up with her girlfriend and had thrown her out. I live with my fiance and my 3 year old son. She has a large 2 bedroom and had never lived alone before. So, it seemed like a good situation.

Well, the day we were moving in she starting talking to her girlfriend again and they were trying to work things out and she said that the girlfriend would move in on October 16th and we had until then to find a place. That was fine with me, the situation was only going to be temp. at any rate. Then the girlfriend started coming over all the time about the same day we moved in and on that Sunday the girlfriend moved back in. I was never close with her girlfriend and don’t really like her since she has a drug problem and stays sober for about 2 months then goes on wild binges and causes my friend a lot of grief. But, I was always kind to her and never gave her any attitude.

Any way my friend set down a lot of rules, saying she didn’t like a mess in her house (which is fine). And that everything should always be in its place. I bought groceries for the house, made sure that all household things (laundry soap, toilet paper, trash bags, etc.) were taken care of and paid her $100 a week. And we clean up every day. Mostly I stayed in the bedroom. And of course my son goes to sleep around 8 every day. So through the week they didn’t see much of us.

One Saturday she came to me and said that her girlfriend feels crowded and rattled off a list of offenses we had done: My fiance watching tv in the living room a lot-apparently they didn’t want to ask him to leave the room (I’m at work and don’t get home until 6 or 7 most days and leave at 7 in the morning-so I don’t see what he’s doing when I’m not there). Another was my cooking every night. I felt that one was stupid. Of course I cook, everyone who knows me (she’s been my best friend for 10 years) knows I love to cook-but I always cooked for everyone and they were always eating what I cooked. Plus, we are saving up for our own apartment so how the heck should would we be getting fast food or eating out often-that’s too expensive. And the other was my leaving my lunchbag on the kitchen table (I take my breakfast and lunch to work and pack the bag at night) I don’t want to leave it in our room because I don’t like having food in a bedroom.

I got upset because I don’t want to stay anywhere I’m not welcome. Plus, I felt like she was the one who changed everything by getting back with her girlfriend. I understand couples work things out most of the time. But, she was basically saying that we were impossible to live with because of those ‘bad’ things we did. And that wasn’t fair.

During this time I also got my car towed away and it’s been crazy getting myself to work and my son to daycare. My friend has let me use her car about 4 times-which was very nice. The other times I found my own way to work.

I told my roommate we’d be out by the end of this week. Which is going to put me in a bind because this week was the week I could finally get my car back. It’s not her problem, but I think she’s not a true friend and I have no interest in talking to her after we move. To say the past few weeks have been stressful is an understatement.

I just feel like she should have been upfront with me and said, “hey, this is too much for me, I’m not able to help out anymore” Instead of, you guys are impossible to live with because you cook, your fiance is watching tv and you leave you lunchbag on the kitchen table. Because if those were the real reasons she’s incredibly petty.

My sister tells me to look at it from my friends point of view. No one wants their mate upset in their own home. But I’ve seen my bestfriend through a lof of relationships and I don’t think this girl will last. And I feel like she’s putting her before our friendship. When this girl goes on binges I’m the one my friend calls to complain to. And I’ve seen my friend through some rough times AND I gave her a place to stay when her last girlfriend kicked her out. And I feel like that was VERY cool of me since we had stopped talking because she was always ditching plans with me to be with her girlfriend. (I don’t care if you want to be with your mate, just don’t make plans with me and then not show or answer your phone-that’s disrespectful of my time and not what good friends do).

So, basically I just want other mature opinions. I’m the type of friend and relative were if someone needs me, I’m right there, right away.

Thank you for your time.
Yes, my fiance has a job. The crazy thing is that his job takes him on the road some weeks and last week he was gone from Monday until Thursday night. So he wasn’t even there at all most of last week.

Ok, I’m in a tight spot and I need to get some thing off my chest. Any input is greatly appreciated. Well here it goes. I am 31 years old. My wife is 45 years old. She has a history of substance abuse. She used to shoot heroin and smoke cannibals on the streets 24/7 when she was my age.

To make a long story short, I took her from a small city and moved her up to my home town. She still continued to use drugs, but not as much. She has ran up all my credit cards without my consent to get money for drugs. She goes on binges, then stops for 10 months or so, before repeating.

We have a 7 year old son. He is autistic, but doing very well in school. The problem is my wife is very verbally abusive to him and me all the time. She has to be in control all the time. She can be sweet when everything is going her way, but when it is not, or I stand up to her, she goes ballistic. This includes physically attacking me, scratching me, throwing things at me, and punching me when I’m not looking.

Yet she is the one that always claims she is the victim. I have been with her for 10 years and I’m at my wits end, but she is a VERY vindictive, ruthless woman, and I am afraid to leave her. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I am literally afraid of her.

I have to hide in my room and do everything in secret. She can talk to whom ever she wants, but I can’t have any friends without her going into a jealous rage, and even threatening any friends I have had over the years.

My concern of leaving is my son. I do not know what will happen to him if I leave. I have to type really quiet or she’ll kick in my door to see who I am typing too. That’s how controlling she is. I feel like a prisoner.

There is a lot more but I am going to end this post now. I’m at a loss of what to do. I feel like my life is slipping past me and I am stuck in a miserable situation with no way out that wont hurt everyone drastically.

I’m literally considering waking my son up one night in the coming week and flying out to relatives in California just to get some down-time. As much as I’m depressed with it all, I really don’t want to get the police involved but there is a gun in the house.

In the past I shot rifles on a Thursday afternoon as a hobby with two friends. I have a license and all but I don’t know where it is. About three months ago I came home and the inventory room where I’ve kept it for several years was moved around. The rifle is gone and whether it’s in the house or not at this stage, I’m unsure but I haven’t mentioned it to her.

I better end this now. Any advice is much appreciated, thank you in advance for the replies. I’m sorry if this is not the right section.

Desperate Dan.

My wife of 12 years started working in a bar last year. She has become friends with a young, party crowd, and we’ve had some rough times over the course of the year. (See only other post).
One of her friends from the bar is getting a bunch of people to go to Key West next month for her birthday. I’ve become good friends with this girl too. Initially I was invited, along with this girl’s boyfriend. I just found out 2 weeks ago that I am no longer invited, and neither is her boyfriend. Apparently, only girls and gay guys are invited now. Initially, I was hurt because she’s been talking with us about how to celebrate her birthday for months now, and in fact she’s even asked me several times for ideas. First I was invited; now suddenly I’m “uninvited”.
I’m really not comfortable with my wife going on this trip. I’m not a contolling guy, but considering what we’ve been through, I think this is a really bad idea. This job has definitely put a strain on our marriage. For a while it was like she was trying to relive her youth. She would go to bars with her friends after work and not come home til 6am. A couple times I had to go into work late because I had to take our child to school when she was too drunk. I also caught her lying to me many times about where she is and who she is wife. Call me old fashioned but I think a husband has a right to know where his wife is a 4am.
She is very flirty and fun when we go out. One time several months ago, when we were out with some friends at a bar, I saw her making out with a total stranger. I freaked out. She said she was drunk and trying to get the guy to hook up with her friend. She said he asked to kiss her, and she let him. When I looked over, they were making out. I was devastated.
I finally put my foot down and threatened a divorce if things didn’t change. She has been honest with me recently (from what I can tell), and we are finally starting to get over our issues. Now she expects me to be fine with her going on a drinking binge in Key West for 3 days.
Initally, I was going to do something even more fabulous that weekend, but the financial reality set in. It would be too expensive and not worth it. Also, we have a son so I would have to find someone to take care of him.
Any suggestions on how to handle this situation? Should I just turn my head and hope everything is ok when she goes on this trip?

My FH’s sister has 2 children with this guy we’ll just call John.
John and her are not together, although I guess they do hook up from time to time. ANYWAY, this guy is your basic looser…No job, drug addict, in and out of jail, and currently doing jail time for running from the cops.
Back when my FH and I first started our guest list, I made it very clear to him that John was not invited. (His sister has a tendency to bring him to things, although I don’t know why). FH agreed because he doesn’t like John at all either. Our wedding is an outdoor wedding at our home and being the type of person that he is, neither of us trust him enough to have him at our home. So, FH’s sister informs us that John will be attending the wedding, and FH says no, that he is not on the guest list and not invited. So, she now says that if he is not allowed to come, that her and her children will not be attending either, which creates an even bigger problem because her son is supposed to be our ring baerer. Now FMIL is siding with the sister and refusing to speak to us as well. I do not want this guy at my wedding, but I want my FH’s family to be there. Am I wrong for standing my ground? (BTW FH is completely on my side, even though I think he would actually give in and invite the guy just to keep the peace if it wasn’t for me being so adamant about not wanting someone like that on our property).

I have lived in the same small rural neighborhood for years and years. About 5 years ago my cousin, her boyfriend and her baby moved in the house next to me. My cousin, I’ll call her Bobette, is addicted to all sorts of drugs from xanax to meth. Her boyfriend (Burley) is also an addict. The child is now six years old. Bobette and Burley recently got their house forclosed and had to be thrown out. They took their son to a neighbors house and just left him there! They have been gone for over a month now. I confronted the neighbors (who have the boy) about this situation and all they had to say was “well, at least we can draw the benefits off of the kid”. This poor child has been deserted with people he barely knows. I contacted DHS about the situation and they told me that unless there was abuse going on, then they couldn’t do anything about it! I am worried for this poor childs safety and well being. If DHS can’t do anything then who can?
Thanks Choogie
Candy, I’ve pretty much tried that. The people at DHS are very rude and uncaring. Also, I am single and work 12 hour shifts. I wouldn’t be able to do it. I think that the boy needs to be put in a good, safe foster home or with some of my family.

I was with this guy for 5 years. We hooked up when I was still in high school and lived together almost the whole time. I had been in love before but never like that. I was doing drugs then and I made some bad decisions and so did he and it did not work out. We both hooked up with other people for the past 4 years and both had a child. He heard that me and my ex broke up but heard my ex had beat me up so bad i was in the hospital ( not completly true) and said he wanted to stop by and see how I was. My and the father of my son had broke up like 5 months ago. He just stopped by today. I asked him if his girlfriend was going to be mad if he was over here and he said that they discussed it from day one and she had to accept that he would always be my friend because we were together for so long. I know I still have feelings for him but do you think he has feelings for me? I would never act on any of it even if he did because that is wrong but I was just wondering what you think.

My mother-in-law is a drug addict. She constantly demands that I leave my five year old daughter alone with her for sleepovers and such. I’ve also seen some pretty scary things she’s done with my nephew like taking dozens of pictures of him naked. He’s almost six. She makes me extremely uncomfortable and I don’t trust her. Yet she gets outraged when we don’t do what she says. My husband won’t stand up to her. He’s stood back while she’s called me names, said I was a bad mother, and said she’d take us to court for grandparents rights. He gives into her every time and we’ve fought nonstop for six years over this. Personally, to me, she’s nothing but a piece of perverted garbage and I want to tear her throat out as well as my husbands. How do I protect my daughter’s and my own well being when I’m constantly being attacked???? Help me.
