Cristina--------------sorry you had to see her this way------this is something you didn't cause and something you cannot cure. She must herself wish to change. I wish the best of luck to both of you------and hope there is one kind person out here who can give you additional ideas on how to make things better------WE CARE!

Hi Christiana,
Have you ever heard the expression, "Tough love"?
If she was only drugging herself, would be different, but she is getting your sister and brother hooked.
If you want to save your mother, sister and brother, use some tough love, and contact the authorities and report her for contributing to the delinquency of minors and that in turn will stop her little merry go round and that is the only way I can see her stopping using drugs.
The one thing about Druggies, they only have 3 options in life.
1. They quit drugs.
2. They wind up in jail.
3. They wind up dead.
Do what is right and put a stop to it while you can.
Would you rather visit her in a re-hab center, in jail, or heaven forbid, her funeral. The last two choices are bound to happen if you do not force her to get help thru re-hab. If you don't. . . . . . . .who will?
I'm talking cold hard reality here.

Very sorry to hear that. It's drug addict. Talk to your school counselor about it. I'm assuming your dad's not around due to divorce or something, but if you stay in touch with him talk to him. You do realize if your mom is sent away unless there is an adult in the house you would have to live somewhere else don't you? But maybe that would be best for you since you're not on drugs. If you have any other adults(your father's parents, your mom's parents might not believe you) that are not addicts that you can talk to then do so, but your school counselor is probably your best bet.

sometimes it is hard growing up in a broken home and the consequence of getting her some help may be really tough however if u have other family members that may be concerned about your mother as well talk to them and see if they can help u get her some help. This will be really hard on you but sometimes the best things in life are hard. I really hope this helps u out.

First off - its ADDICT (just helping you out)
But Seriously If you have family you can stay with , report her and get a judge to order a court order to make her go to rehab. You dont need to be around that stuff. If anything you need to concentrate on school and things like that. you are 13 which means a judge can take you away unless she goes to rehab. maybe talk with her first about rehab and if she gets mad at you or threatens you. get help from authorities.
If its just weed , dont worry so much. anything else - well its time to get involved.
just my advice --- hope you find somethign that works

Do you have a family member you can trust? Contact someone and tell them. It will be hard, but for the safety of the rest of your siblings, as well as you, you need to tell your school counselor. Maybe talk to your grandparents, father, pastor, or someone you can really trust. Keep the faith.

You really need to call social services. Though they will try to keep you and siblings together you may have to go to foster care or a group home for a while. It's hard but worth it to keep you safe and get counseling you need.

i had the same problem i am 14 now and my parents and i are clean i put my dad in jail fo 7 years and dont regret it because he goes to 4 aa and na meetings a week i would suggest telling your friends to come over one day incase your mom or dad overreact when you call social services not child services they will just move you and not help your parents.

If you have grandparents near where you live, call them and tell them your mom is a drug addict and you need them to help her.
