I haven't seen my mother for 9 years, I'm 14. She's been on methampthetamines my entire life. I just got word today of where she is, I talked to her about 3 years ago. I need to go see her so that I can get over the fact that she will never be my mom. I just need some advice on what to say to her, and I really want to tell her to stop doing methampthetamines. I know that I won't be able to help her, but I just need some advice on how to deal with the fact that I will never have her as my mom, and that I will never be able to help her. I know it's hard to answer, but please, if anyone can help me. The pressure is too much, I'm seeing her this weekend. Please help me. I have no one else to turn to. (link)

I always found that a letter is best for this type of thing, but if you're seeing her in person it will be more dificult for both of you.
Start by telling her that you've missed having you in her life, and that you're not nieve enough to believe that anything you do or say will have a strong enough effect on her to actually change her lifestyle, even though you wish she would - but you would appriciate it if when she is clean you could see her more and make her a small part of your life.
I have a cousin who has dug herself into a sitution similar as your mothers and she regrets it so much- she's always depressed about it when she's sober, so she stays out of it with drugs and alcohol... which of course is how she got into the situation... it's pretty awful and I feel bad for her and her children... I am truely sorry you are in such a situation and I hope it goes well for you this weekend. good luck.

Thanks, I'll try that, but it's not looking too good.
