What do you think of a mother/son relationship where heavy drugs (meth, heroin) are done together?

26/07/2010 admin 10 comments

The mother is 48, the son is 30. She introduced him to drugs when he was 13, and apparently this is how they bonded. She neglected and abandoned him when he was a child, and they meet up and do drugs together.
They are now on a drug binge together, and he’s lost a lot of weight. I’m worried for his health, and think its all despicable. How would you explain the psychosis behind all of this?

“How would you explain the psychosis behind all of this?”, well it’s the drugs that would cause it, I’d gather!

But it’s really sad. This is no relationship/bonding or what have you. The only relationship an addict has is with the substance (they don’t have a ‘relationship” to others, not even to themselves).

I’m not sure how you relate to him, but you could try to point them (ideally both of them) into the direction where rehabilitation might be available (narcotics anonymous, county or city mental health, substance abuse services), ask a health provider, social services for contact data… just be aware that this is going to be a life long adventure (someone having been exposed to the substances at such a young age – 13 – has practically ruined his entire brain-chemistry… it’s a really long road, but it may be very rewarding! Good luck

To Heather: it’s not as hopeless as you may imagine, and if it were, addicts would be better served by gas-chambers then fake compassion…

That’s one f****d up mother to do that to her son. I can’t explain the psychology behind it other than the mother has serious problems and now her son does too! Way to go Mom!!

The mother is an idiot, I don’t care what happened as a child. That’s not bonding!!!

She feels that is the only thing will bring them close. She is thinking she is making up for the neglect by providing the illegal habit to him by easy access. Drugs like that screw with your mind. You don’t think like a normal non user would on drugs, especially meth and heroin

Watch these videos they are short, but enough. Have him watch them, No one will be able to help him until a close call or in trouble.

silencu… is spot on.

This is not uncommon unfortunately.
A heavy drug addict can only have a relationship with their drugs. They are not in their right minds they are in addictions.

I don’t think their is any grand intent or pathology going on. If I do the math she would have been 18 when she had him. She was a child… and from the sounds of it a child addict. Not surprising in the least she abandoned him. And being that they are relatively close in age range and she still ravenously addicted that is “just what they do”

Severe addicts don’t have friends they have drug buddies. People they can surround themselves with to both provide access to and approval of their drug of choice.

She is not mentally mature due to her long use of drugs from an early age. She lacks common sense. He is also now addicted and feeling connected through the addiction with his mother.

unfortunately you cant make an addict who is not ready get better… if they don’t do it for themselves they tend to relapse.

You are right to be concerned. And after treatment, if by the grace of whatever god you do or don’t prey to, he gets into treatment, he and his mother will HAVE to sever contact at the very least for a LONG time.

they will re trigger each other.
