mother with drug problem

Quote From: brookewebb

Well. I am Brooke. I'm 16 and live with my amazing grandparents. Unfortunatley, my mother is a drug addict. and i was removed from what could be called a "crack house" at the age of thirteen. Today, June 18 is her 37 bday. the rules are that when she is straight, we can go out and eat or visit. I REFUSE to drive with her  becasue in December 2006, she almost killed me in a car accident. She almost hi 3 gaurd rails and probably 4 cars, things keep going downhill. today, we made plans and then a half-an-hour later she was all messed up on pain medication. So, i am sooooooo mentally,physically,and not to mention emotionally tired of it and I am going to try and walkaway from the situation.... but will that make me a bad daughter???? I have tried sooo much. and I NEVER give uo  hope. I care too much about everyone. even people hat i particularly don't like... but I just hope I am doing the right thing. I can no longer tell her not to be a drug addict. and the more I  care, the more she self-pitties herself. it is repetitive misfortune and I'm confised as what to do. I feel so lost. am I doing the right thing?? please keep me in your prayers. thanks... hugs,... Brooke Marie.
i am sorry you are going thru this,i to had a drug addicted mother ,she was married to a dr. for20 years,she kept every one up set ,u used to have nightmares about it ,she is still alive and off the drugs, only because the dr she married dies of old age. she had to go to the hospital and they gave her a narcotic, and she was very hard to be around for a long time,dont turn your back on her she needs you and any support you can give her,if she gets in a gets off the drugs, she has something  bothering her  to make her  want to do the drugs,she needs to be honest with herself before she can be honest with anyone else,once this happens she may be able to  go all the way and get her life cleaned up,and then she needs to be there for you. just dont turn in her direction and do drugs,i made that promise to myself when i seen my stepdad give mom shots to dope her up.  good luck  my prayers are with you.   penny
