She chose the drug over you, unconciously! She is obviously addicted and needs to seek the help of a detox unit. These are in the local hospitals and I would suggest calling one and talking to them. They have a very knowledgable staff and some hospitals offer support groups too. This is nothing you did wrong, this is not your fault. Your mom loves you and wants the best for you but right now she doesn't even know what is best for herself. In addition to calling a hospital, why not try talking to others in your family about it and maybe you could have an intervention. These help in some cases, but in my opinion she needs to go through detox and stop using.
GOod Luck!

Short answer: It is not your fault. You could not have prevented this by being smarter/nicer/better.
Well, first of let's just stipulate that your mom is not a "sport" user of the drug.
It sounds as if she meets the definition of "addict."
If she is an addict, (and I am not pronouncing her to be one. I am just saying that it seems likely,) then she is in the grips of a disease that makes many decisions beyond her control.
I suggest, for your own wellbeing and health that you may want to talk with a proffesional therapist regarding these issues, if you are not already doing so. Also, it might be helpful for you to join a support group of other people that are affected by an addict in their lives.

Hi...Yours is a very short question but probably has lots of hidden issues. I don't know anything about you, but guess that you could be helped by talking to someone who will not judge you and who will remain totally confidential. A problem shared is a problem halved. Go to http://www.samaritans.org/ for contact details of the Samaritans. They are a non religious charity based in UK, but if you are outside UK you can email them.
Good luck!

She didn't, the drug overcame your real mom and took over in the brain, telling her she had to have it. Prayer can change things though, Never give up hope, miracles happen everyday, Put your life in the hands of Jesus and live for him, He will work all things out in time that will be the best benefit for you and maybe your mom will get her life back, Never give up, Never. Obviously your mom has got to want to change, all you can do is trust in the Lord. Live your life and put the rest in his hands.

Sadly she had NO choice the drug chose for her.
Drugs change everything about you as well as the obvious they change your natural personality and everything then has no meaning except the drug. She is ill and needs help, and you also need to know that if she was drug free she would see you for what you are and things would be different.
I am sending lots of love and Angels to you and praying that God will send you a helper.....Godbless.xxx

You didn't give any details...
Your mom, like everyone else, has her battles. She will have to overcome it sometime...
All I can say is forgive her, and try to help her.
Addiction can be a terrible thing...
My moto is:
IF YOU ARE NOT MAKING A DIFFERENCE, YOU ARE NOT REALLY LIVING.
Make a difference, try your best to help her. ...
Before it's too late, and you regret it...
Good luck to you. And get in some extra help if you can.

If she was in her right mind, she would have chose you, but the chemical addict can only think of one thing. It supersedes everything else. I'm sorry hun, please check out alanon or some kind of support group. Just know it is not your fault. Being the family member of an addict SUX!

That's very sad but she probably wasn't aware of the choice at the time.
