How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

We were arguing about my drinking. He said I could drink all I want but hes not paying for his son to become an alcoholic. I’m not an alcoholic. I don’t drink on Mondays or Tuesdays. Besides, I clearly remember him saying to me that if I went to college he would pay for everything I needed so I wouldn’t need a job. (I did have a job working for him but he fired me).

Okay he pays for my apartment, car and other expenses, but he never told me alcohol money would be excluded from the deal. When he said he wouldn’t pay I was irritated because I had a great weekend planned. I told him I hated him and couldn’t wait for him to die because I’d get all his money.

He looked really upset but you must understand the cancer isn’t terminal. I feel hes being a little pathetic since hes unlikely to die. He refuses to speak to me now. Why is he acting so angry and hateful towards me?

it was well deserved! My husband has an unhealthy relationship with his mother b/c she has a substance abuse problem (for the past 25 years ) and wont help herself…And I try to be the middle man to keep her included on our lives as much as possible B/c she is grandma regardless of the sub abuse to our son . Anyway, the hubby and I have a rocky marriage and I thought separation for a little while would do good along with counseling. My MIL was furious with me that I was thinking about doing this b/c for some reason she turns it into me keeping our son away from their side of the family and that I’m ruining my 2 yr. olds life. CRAZY !!!! She wrote some crazy emails to my Father inlaw who was out of town about how my son isn’t safe with me or my side of the family b/c i wanted a separation in my marriage and how she wanted to buy her son a car just in case he needed to kidnap the baby take him out of the country if i tried to divorce her son and she wanted to rush out here to Chicago to take the baby b/c he was better off with her .Well, after i read these outlandish emails, i called her up and confronted her and basically couldn’t hold back, i went off on her and said she was a drunk and how dare she say these things like that behind my back when she is the one who ruined her own sons life by being an alcoholic and she hasn’ t even seen her grandson sober. Who is she to judge! I’m an amazing, sober, well educated Mother So, anyone stepping on my toes questioning my motherhood is gonna hear it from me. Especially from a MIL who thinks she has rights to have influence over my son. She was sending me threats like “i will use the fullest extent of the law” to see my grandson. Which is funny b/c not once did i ever threaten my husband or her to not see him if we separate.
I know that she is crazy and i shouldn’t have let her crazy babble get to me……But it was so heated that she couldn’t deal with that I read those emails. Regardless she was defending everything she wrote and even threatened to hire her son a really good lawyer. She was just fueling her own little fire in thinking that I would keep my son from their family , I never once said anything suggesting that !!! CRAZY LADY. Anyway I really dislike her and dont want to deal with her crap so, i feel okay in what I did/said. What do you do when you burn bridges with your MIL But, really i had no choice, she can’t go around just saying whatever the hell she wants!

My husband is an alcoholic and drug addict diagnosed with bi-polar and borderline personality disorder. He has been sober now for 8 months. I had to move into my parents house not to go bankrupt and have the bank take our house. My mother-in-law asked me why my husband is not on the deed, which I am on with my parents as they gift a portion of the house to me on a yearly basis. Tonight she told my husband what I told her in confidence was that I did not put my husbands name on the deed because I was concerned that if he did not get straight or get psychological help I might lose the house. Now he knows and is furious. Yes, I am wrong for lying to my husband, but now I am furious that my mother-in-law told him this without my knowledge. It’s a huge fight now. I do not feel I am entirely wrong as I have a young daughter and didn’t want his actions to affect us all. Should I ignore the fact that my mother-in-law betrayed my honesty and let her know how I feel (VERY upset) or should I just ignore it and not trust her anymore. This totally now ruins the relationship and I am weary that I cannot even be around her without suspicion. Input?????

Recently, I went to a nutritionist where I was diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder, and she recommended I go to therapy. From this diagnosis I decided to tell my parents I have been having suicidal thoughts on and off for the past 7 or 8 years (I’m 17 now). They are extreme, and I have thought about it seriously, but they are not all the time. My moods go from high to low really quick, and in my low moods all I think about is suicide. I could have planned the best day of my life, but if I wake up in one of these moods I will still be sad and angry and have constant suicidal thoughts the whole day. I also cry and break down over the smallest things, such as one day when my teacher told me I couldn’t sharpen my pencil. Or I cry over nothing at all. These dark moods only last a few days, but then I eventually return to my extremely happy mood. These dark moods make me a completely different person inside; it’s like night and day. Although these dark moods are bad, I can hide them pretty well.
I’ve decided to tell my parents about this because one day I am afraid I will get into one of these moods and harm myself. I’ve come really really close, once when I was 9 then once when I was 13, but over the past few months they have become more frequent. I also told my pediatrician at my physical recently, but did not tell him nor my parents the severity of this. I do, however, plan on being truly honest with the therapist I have an appointment to go see very soon.
I’m just wondering ahead of time, is it the therapist who will tell me what’s wrong? Does this sound like depression to anyone? I was thinking Bipolar Disorder, but I know someone who has Bipolar Disorder and he has severe anger issues, which I don’t have. My neighbor who I have kind of been talking to about this believes I have ADD. I don’t know why she thinks I have ADD, but she has it herself and so does her son. My sister also has ADD as well.
Now I’m blabbering, and confused, but any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

what do i do? he sayshe doesnt feel good at all and his hands are cold and hes really sweaty.

Have you used Paxil? Has it helped you? Has it harmed you or someone you know? Is there a general consensus on the benefits/risks of this drug?
