Mom on drugs :/

So I'm 36 weeks pregnant and my mom used to use meth A LOT when I was younger and I was in a Foster home but she got me and my brother back because she stopped and went to rehab and got clean. Well ever since then she's been great, or so I thought. She has 2 more little boys since then 9 and 7 and now I just found out that she is on meth again and it's getting pretty bad.. me and my boyfriend live with my mom and we can't go anywhere else and it hurts me to see her do this to her family. She is never around for my brothers and she told me last night she had sex with this guy who had weird boil looking things all over his arms and now she has one and thinks it's a staff infection and she also made out with this guy the day after that that she had been cheating on my dad with all last summer and now I'm not sure what to do! She is breaking my dad's heart and cheats all the time and is never home im just not really sure what I should do...

I can relate to you love. I'm 16 24weeks pregnant & my parents are both recovering addicts.  I live with my mom & little sister & my mom is always sleeping around with men & I found out she is on drugs again. Honestly I've learned not to care. That's your mother & your always gonna love her (trust me I've tried not to) but you have a family of your own to worry about. Don't let her addiction take over your life. I wish you the best of luck ♥

Im sorry sweety but she's not gonna change unless she wants to. I'm not trying to be mean or discourage you but my dad is a heroine addict, the uncle and aunt that I lived with half of my life are meth addicts and pretty much the rest of my family are alcoholics. It ***** but they're adults and there's really nothing you can do except try to talk to them and tell them what they are doing to your family (half the time they don't even remember or realize that they are doing it). And if that doesn't help, you need to leave for the sake of that baby. I know i don't want my son growing up around any of that bs so i got a second job and i left. Im sorry and I hope it all works out for you hun
