For all the moms addicted to this drug.

This isn't a question i just wanted yall to know this, my mother was and still is addicted to this drug.I hope that after you read this that you will understand that it not only ruins your life but your childrens life as well.When my mom takes these shes mean and slurrs her words and is dangerous to herself and us.You're not the same person you normally are when you take these.My mom left my older brother, my step dad, me, and a wonderfull home.If you were to look at my family you would never think that behinde clothes doors when she's on these pills that she calls me names and hits me.I use to lay in bed at night and cry myself to sleep as i think about the fact that she's choosing the pills and the addiction over me.When she was at work I would search her sock drawr and find bottles of pills.I'de lay there and cry as i just looked at all the pilss.My mother is beautiful,funny,and my best friend.I love her to death.I just dont want that death to be so soon.The night she left she went and stayed at a hotel and i remember that my family was looking for her and so were the cops.We soon found her and she had downed the bottle of pills as an attempt to kill her self right infront of me the 14 year old girl who had already been through enough.Moms, look at your children and notice that they're beautiful,and you made them to love them and adore them and not to hurt them and put them in pain.Good luck with your addiction.Stay strong for me and your children.

Hi Madi~

I'm glad you shared your story.

It's really sad to hear the child's view.

You didn't mention what kind of drug?

What pills are these? I have had the same experience with my mom and I was just wondering if they were the same pills.

Hi,
Have you looked into any alanon meetings?
Al-teen?? You really should find someone to talk to about this.
In school? a teacher?
I know what my addication did to my daughter. It made her an addict.
Stop the cycle and look for other kids your age (alaon for teens) so that you can work through this with someone and not alone.
I can bet that you are not alone with your story and you will find many people that have gone through the same
good luck to you

I am touched by your story.  I am a mom and I am an addict.  My heart is breaking for you and your family.  I know you're angry at your mom, but I also know you love her.  You can tell by how you've written your post.  Perhaps one day you will be able to forgive her.  I don't get the impression that she is ready to stop.  If not, stick close to your family for support.  If she is, be as supportive as you can.  Maybe you and your family should go speak with someone who could help with your pain and confusion.  

Thank you for giving us a child's perspective.  I'll be praying for your and your family.  Stick around here.  There are tons of loving supporting people.

God bless you.
