What can I do to help my daughter get off meth?

Question

My daughter is with a guy for 2 yrs now who had just got out of jail when she met him (for meth use). They have 4 children in the house (1 boy each and 2 girls together). She is addicted to meth real bad, she is like a skeleton. They let me get the kids on occasion and they are not taking care of them. They are dirty all the time and their house is filthy. He is so paranoid that he has rattlesnakes and pitbulls and even a security camera. She needs help! I have turned them into the child protective services but they said there was nothing they can do.I thought if I turned them in then maybe they could get her help but they do nothing either. I cannot let my daughter live this way and I cannot continue to let my grandchildren live in this house hold. Does anyone have any advise on what options I might have in this situation?

Answer 1

Call the police on her and they'll eventually get her to stop your you can try getting custody over the kids.

Answer 2

phone the jeremy kyle show and im not just saying it but i really would consider it they manage to sort people lifes out and offer really good professional help

best of luck x

Answer 3

Have you considered going for custody of the kids? I can tell you right now that any judge in their right mind would see it as detrimental for those kids to stay in their care right now. Even if it is only temporary custody, maybe it would open your daughter's eyes to what is happening to her. I know it sounds cruel, but sometimes that is what it takes to pull someone back into reality. My father was deep into alcohol after my mother passed, and it took all 3 of us being taken away + 5 years for him to realize what he was doing was wrong. I even went for custody for my young brother at 19, and there was no fight for it whatsoever.

Try talking to her, if you can....But right now I think the kids are the most important thing here. They shouldn't have to see what they do, or live that way.

Be there for your grandchildren as often as you can. Keep a record of all the things that you feel show neglect. Protect your belongings from being stolen, and pray as much as you can. My sister just went through the same thing you are describing. We too were turned away by child protective services multiple times. Ultimately, an unplanned visit to her house one day showed that she was leaving them in the house unattended while she "ran up to the corner store". I wouldn't wish your situation on my worst enemy. Stay strong and keep pushing the issue. Just remember to keep yourself guarded. As much as you think she still respects you, your belongings and money can disappear just like that. Take pictures, keep a journal, and keep your eyes wide open.

Answer 5

it seems like she wouldn't listen if you offered a rehab. Maybe you should call a police on her and social services,it's gonna be for her own good. That way you could have your daugter back and normal one day even though she's gonna be pissed at you at first.if she stays this way she's gonna die.And it's certanly not good for the kids to grow up like that
