46. My mum was on Heroin and crack cocaine all my life up until I was 17 when my uncle died from a drug overdose. I move out and got my own place by this time so my mum was with a woman called Tracey for 11 years and when i turned 18 they split up and it broke my mum in two. So she then started to drink heavy and went down hill nothing I could say or do could help her. the home she was living in on they Fairway in moston was paid for by a man who sexually abused me for 9 years i told my teacher when i was 15. we continued to live in the house. 6 months after her split with tracey she got with a man who she is still with and no longer drinks but is injecting anthetamine she started cause he took it but she was an heroin addict she has her own mind. The problem is for 4 years she has been homeless living here there and everywhere she lost her home of 22years and everything in it for 2 years she has had no benefits and is being badly beaten and abused by her boyfriend. IT HURTS SO MUCH.

i do so feel for you, and i no you desperatly want to help your mum, to start with you can only begin to help her if she wants to help herself, and if she does obviously things are not going to happen over night, and there will be a lot of doors to knock on, go to the doctors and tell him everything you have just said, and tell him you desperatly need his help, and im sure he will help are advice you in which direction to go next, also you could try the homeless section at the council, she also could go to the dhss, and start to claim benifit, at some point in the future i would recomend that both you and your mum get some counciling, because you have and still are going through a very difficult time i do realy hope that someone will help you, keep strong

hello Natalie,
You are an amazing woman! So much intelligence AND love. You care when no-one else cares. You take abuse and GIVE back only love. You have learned things about life and truth without teachers.
This world of drugs and addictions and violence and abuse is so awful..... but if rehab is full of heroin then it's not the place to go either, is it? Like some people say of prison - out of the frying pan into the fire.
Love is so precious, but she gives her whole heart to Tracey and that too has fallen apart.
Someone would need to hear you much more personally than we can here before anything can be said that might be more than a little help for you as you begin to find your "right path". For example, you do not speak of what experience you have had of emotional help, if any. Nor of where you are (is "moston" a place?).
You can email me directly if you like. I don't promise anything except to respond, but I am open to you.

Can the law if you can prove he is abusing her. Call the shelters and get her a place to live. Put her in counseling. A rehab center would be good for her. Hard for you to do but, do it. You will get over it and she will be helped.

hi natalie
could u not try and get your mum in to rehab? but the thing is does she want help?? as she can only help herself!! would you let her live with you??? have you no other family to help her??
at your age and all you have gone through you should be enjoying your life and not having to worry but easier said than done aye!!! i wish i could be of some help but i dont no wot more to say!!! you just take care of yourself and i hope ur mum gets help soon.xx

You're 25??? Get a job and get your own place. You can't protect mum, worry about yourself.

Go join the Army, get a new life, and forget about it.
You won't be lonely lacking for guidance and people that can relate to your problems. That's whuy the rest joined.
