Is it okay to do cocaine in front of a young teenager? Any help?

Question

I have an alcoholic, gambling and drug addict mother. (Who is in denial and says that everyone does it... And refuses to admit she has a problem) Anyway, every day she does it in front of me...Snorts it right in front of me... Licks it. She says that no one cares and that she can do whatever she wants when I ask her to stop. I've asked her to at least stop doing it when I am around (which is all day basically) and she says don't watch me or go in the other room and that 'she can do whatever she wants'. Even though I was in that room first! Even when I go in the other room, I still can hear her do it. It makes me so depressed. She stays up ALL NIGHT doing it and when she falls asleep she leaves it out... And I SEE it. Needless to say, I tried it... Just to see what it's like...Never would do it again.

We (everyday) get into heated arguments. I already know everyone outside hears us since the walls are like paper thin. I'm SO embarrassed to go outside because of this.So I don't, I stay in.. And she screams when she yells. She's always calling me mean names. She even through scissors and knife on me... She brings up my weight and school, how I can't go to school like a normal kid.( Have trouble with school) And all these MEAN things which makes me retaliate by calling her names and bringing up her problems..

Am I wrong for calling her names when she does this to me? What should I do? I'm just so depressed!

Answer 1

honestly, she's not a fit mother. iif she yells at you and throws stuff at you, it's abuse. as for the drugs, throw them  away if you have to. stay with a friend or family member. talk to a counselor.

Answer 2

Speak to a trusted adult, maybe a teacher at school and they can help you further. You shouldn't be in that environment.

Answer 3

NO you are not wrong for calling her names, she shouldnt call you them. Plus, she shouldnt be smoking crack in front of you.

You can call CPS(Child Protective Services)

Answer 4

Its not okay at all, you need to get help for her, I'm sure you can find a help line online or something and call the number right away. Best of luck.

Answer 5

o my Honey call the police and tell them she does that while you stay at a family members house...............please...........i promise you its not her its satan just do the right thing and call the police get her some help  

Answer 6

you need to really try and get her help.if you cant just try and avoid her.i watched a tv show once with addicts and this one girl tried her best to get her mother and father to go clean (but they wouldn't)so she reported them to the police and they both got 2 years and they thanked their daughter for doing that because now their their both clean.

But...

i'm not saying go out and report your mom to the police i was just sharing some info with you.So you dont have to see that anymore or possibly try it anymore and become an addict like your mother) try and get a roommate out of your house or try to get someone in your family to take you in

Answer 7

find some help

Answer 8

NO.

It is wrong, and stupid, and irresponsible, and selfish, and illegal.

Answer 9

No...your mom is messed up she is setting a terrible example

Answer 10

You need help and so does she. Can you talk to counselor at school or church? If not, call the cops. Don't put it off, don't wait. You are too important to let this keep happening to you.

Answer 11

Well dont call her names. Its doesnt do anything but make situations worst. I mean your her child try to get her help whether that means calling the police or whatever. Because i know if my mother is a crackhead, alcoholic , etc i would want her to get help rather then dead or something. So try to get her help and do not call her names because its probalbly going to make her feel even worst and abuse the drugs more. good look. update us

Answer 12

No its not okay to do cocaine in front of a teenager. You probably shouldn't call her names, but your feelings are hurt. Talk to a trusted adult or a family member.

Answer 13

your mother is horrible for doing this to you and treating you this way ,and acting like a douche.

honestly, you need to get outta there, is there anybody you can stay with that is normal?

im so sorry that this happens to you, she is an addict, and she cant help herself unless she wants to, which she obviously doesnt.

she doesnt care, its horrible to say, but she doesnt.

please try and focus on school, and yourself and being good. you will be away from her soon, and you can be a great person without her.

dont let her bring you down, call the police on her, have her arrested, and you can atleast go into protection, or foster. which can sometimes be bad, but you are old enough to take care of yourself pretty much till your 18

im so sorry,

good luck

Answer 14

talk to someone and try to get the attention of a school counselor or you could even go to the police. If you are over 18, have someone u can stay with because ur mom will at LEAST be put into rehab and prob jailed. If ur under 18 you might have to go into foster care unless family members will take you. I say you really need to get out of there! Good luck & dont let her get you down. Drug addicts will attack anyone who attempts to get in the way of their habit. Its nothing personal, she loves you, but it DOESNT MAKE IT RIGHT. You most def have your life together WAY more than your own mother. What about your dad, is he someone you can go to? Grandparents? Aunts/uncles? Again, good luck & stay strong!!

Answer 15

where is your dad if he is avalable go with him tell the people at the school cause if she loves u she will stop.if not you are wayy better with another family member or foster care

Answer 16

intervention time

Answer 17

Look I watched this show called ''intervention'' or something like that with people dealing with loved ones who have some sort of addiction and confronting them with treatment and if they don't accept there is consequences. Talk to a drug councelor and ask them to come over and confront your mother. And offer her the treatment she needs. Write a long note about how if she doesn't accept the treatment that  she will not be allowed to attend your wedding(someday), she will have no contact with you whatsoever, you will stop picking up your phone (as in you go live with an auntie or uncle, and let your emotions come out, cry. She will finally see what she has done to you, you have to confront her Joey. You have to let it all out. Tell her the effects this has made on you. She obviously needs alot of help. If you go live with an aunt or uncle if she doesn't accept treatment she will realised she lost the one thing she has got, she might do the treatment for your sake because she loves you. If she doesn't accept then she has to deal with the consequences. You are all she's got. She needs you. Get help. And calling the cops to take you away may solve your problems, but it won't solve hers. You need to stay by her side. Get her treatment and be there for her 100%. Good luck with everything.
