Please Help me- what should I do?

Question

My mom is a drug addict ,and she has been my whole life. I am 17 years old and this is going to be my senior year. I am so sick of her F****** split personality, her paranoia and halucinations. She constatnly thinks I'm putting things on the floor that look like drugs to "tempt her"

She is off her F****** rocker and I can't take it anymore!!!

I threatened to bust a drug dealer she knows through a text message today, I told him that i would call the police if he ever offered my mom drugs again or if he sold them to her again. Im a teenager and I shouldn't have to deal with this!!

Right now i am at the end of my rope, dont know what to do, or where to go. - if I turned her in she would go to prison due to previous offences.

Can someone please help me in any way?

Answer 1

Tell her she needs to agree to get help and you care about her.  Tell her if she's not going to do it....you are going to have her baker-acted or your going to call the cops and they'll deal with her.  She might think about it and decide what's better.  And maybe she start being clean.  Please check out my question.  i need more answers. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 2

To start with, try calling the Boys and Girls Town National hot-line.  They can offer up some advice and suggestions and help you out. 1-800-448-3000.

Secondly, call social services and file a report with them.  If you are afraid to tell them striaght-up, then call and pretend to be just a concerned citizen and report possible neglect/drug use going on at your address.  Social services doesn't have to know your name, so your mom won't know who called them.

Thirdly, is there a school counselor, minister, teacher, friend's mom, you can talk to who may be able to help?  You really need to talk to someone about your options.

At 17, you may be able to be emancipated from your mother and be on your own.  Is there a family memeber or a friend who would take you in?  Maybe a family in your church?  Or a women's shelter in your area?  Social services can help you with that as well.

The only hope your mom has is for her to be arrested and thrown in jail where she can detox and get into a treatment facility.  You shouldn't have to deal with her.

Good luck.

if you have other family members who can help u can tell them that she is willing to change ..if they can help her so that she can clean up properly....

Answer 4

well i think you should find someone to move in with then to help yourself and help your mother to you should call the police then she would have to get clean and maybe realize a few things c&@(k is a powerful drug and if she doesnt get help you may end up losing her to something else. do not threaten drug dealers! it could come back and kick you in the *** i am not trying to be rude but they are messed up people. good luck hopefully everything works out and you are right no teenager deserves a life like that
