How do I help my mom?

[kailazee]

Okay heres the deal,

My mom is 30, She has bi-polar disorder, And she takes Xanax and kolnopin, Well she abuses them she steals them from my grandma and she'll get us to fake pains at the hospital to get prescribed pain killers for her, Well I thought all she did was take all these pills, But i recently discovered she's been on speed. Im tired of her not being able to talk right not being able to stay awake when she's on the pills. I constantly worry about her, she even tried to hurt my little brother. She's gotten too skinny, her cheek bones are sinking in, and she's constantly mad or upset with us, I moved out to get away from it all cause she drove me to an anxiety disorder, im only 14 years old. Im really worried for my mom, my family thinks she's too far gone to get better. sometimes she dosn't even remember the day before.

Your with your dad so ya safe, and im sure he is prolly aware of your moms problems. I am an addict, so I am going to say a few things.
your mom is being enabled . she is allowed to live with your aunt yet your aunt does nothing to help her realize her problem or do anything to change it. as your brothers aunt, she should have called the police and had the baby removed and your mom either charged or court ordered rehab.
the rest of your family is probably tired of dealing with her addiction , because eventually people get tired of helping you when you wont help yourself.
I suggest since you are safe, and 14 years old, to talk to your dad about your love for your mother and brother.tell him your scared for her, and that you want her to get better. ask him if its ok to write a letter, and send it to your aunt. she can read it to her when she is sober enough to realize your feelings.
One of the biggest things I want to say is, NONE of your moms problems are YOUR fault. you are 14, so please dont get so involved in your mothers issues that you lose yourself, feel me?

I last saw my mom 2 weeks ago, I live with my dad about an hour away, She live's with my aunt and all my aunt did was stop them from going off the bridge, she talked to my mom and calmed her down, she wasn't only trying ot hurt my brother but also herself. I have a big family but nobody seems to be trying to help her.

Im sorry that you are goin thru all this at such a young age. And im also sorry to tell you that your mother will not change until she decides to do it herself. all kinds of thing like rock bottoms,rehabs, and other things. I think the best thing you can do now is write a letter to ya moms and tell her how you feel. If she is ever sober long enough to read it give it to her. If your brother is in danger, PLEASE let some authorities in your area know!! How long has it been since you have seen your mom, and how many adult aunts, uncles, grandparents do you have. I assume you are still living with family?
