Here's the things I have picked up on so far...loss of money, can't remember where it went or what it was spent on...mood swings...sexual disfunction...17-30 lbs weight loss in a month despite regular meals...hearing things that aren't said...casting blame for everything on others...lying. I suspect it's drug abuse but I'm not familiar enough with the different kinds of street drugs to know what the symptoms of each are. Any clues as to which drugs have these effects?

there are drug counsellors available that can help you, if you suspect drug abuse then do something about it before it is too late. Every time you take a drug you kill brain cells. 17-30 pounds is too much weight, safely it would be 8 pounds 2 pounds a week. Look for dialation of the eyes, slurred speech it could be a number of different drugs and if they are using a needle there is more to look for holes and bruises in the arms chest and legs. That can be deadly with HIV. Good luck honey. God bless and put angels on your pillows..

Meth would be my guess cause it's the fastest growing drug problem in the world.
People with meth habits become really bad in a relatively short period of time. Rehab is the only course and even then there's not that great of a success rate.
Note the sleeping habits. People on meth will not sleep for days at a time, and usually their hallucinations are a product of no sleep.
Meth addicts will not eat for days at a time, thus the significant weight loss.
And the effects of meth last a long time. Typically between 8-12hrs. When first starting to use the drug, it makes most people feel super human...they get lots of work done and are very alert.

There are two organizations you need to contact. Narcotics Anonymous for your addicted friend/significant other...and Families Anonymous for you. No one should have to go through drug abuse alone. And I agree, it sounds like meth or cocaine symptoms...those two are notorious for making people lose weight and getting mood swings.

basically take your niece and shield her. Calling CPS may be the worst project interior the international, that's like sending a toddler to hell, it is worse than you could conceivable think of. in case you're somewhat worried pass at the same time with your niece someplace it may be complicated to your sister to do something approximately it. Crackheads the place I stay often get somebody to babysit their toddler and then by no skill come returned for them.
