My father pops pills and this has been going on for years, My mother continues to put up with it-?

Question

Shes in heavy denial, she says this is the "last straw" but I doubt it. She deserves better and so does our family. Hes so selfish. It saddens me to see my father stoned and hallucinating. It makes me feel very uncomfortable. I have told both of them this. It never seems to change... any thoughts would help-thanks all.

Answer 1

It could be time for an intervention. Just in case you don't know, (you should get help from a councilor) You get his friends family members co workers, every one close to him who knows he has a problem.  It like a surprise party with out the party. he walks in and every one is there and they all tell him how he has hurt or harmed them because of his addiction, then tell him that he must get help or else and mean it, and be ready to send him away that night, have his bag packed and the counselor there to take him.

Answer 2

i don't really know how to help you because as you said your mom puts up with it & your dad is addicted so he's not gonna stop unless he decides to. the only thing i would tell you to try & talk to your father about how you feel about his addiction. best wishes to you & your family. i hope yall get through this together. talk with both your mom & dad dont give up
