XxRockon answered Saturday April 30 2005, 4:50 pm: o my gosh, you poor thing! That's such a tramautic situation to be in, and im sorry you have to be put through it. I personally don't have any experience with parents and substance abuse, but here is what i think you should do. Go to your mom, and basically just spill out everything about how you feeel about her, and her drug abuse and your family. Tell her that you really care about her, and you lov her and it hurts you to see her doing this to yourself and its affecting the whole family. I'm not really sure what drug your mom could be using, it could be cocaine but i really don't know. anway, tell her that she really needs to stop it, and talk to a counsler about quitting and maybe alternative solutions to solving stress (If that is the reason why she is doing it). Do you think you could talk to a school counlser about it? Or maybe a member of your family first? Maybe your dad, i wouldn't go to your sister just yet because her anger seems not to be helping the situation. I hope everything gets cleared up really soon, and that your mom stops her substance abuse. If you have any more questions or if you just want to talk..just drop another in the inbox and my screename is on the side. Keep my posted about what happened..best of luck!

karenR answered Saturday April 30 2005, 3:15 pm: She could be on any number of things.What it is for sure doesn't really matter.She really needs to get help. Have you asked her to do it for you? If not then do. She might not, but you never know. Other than that there isn't a lot you can do. She is an adult and unless she gets arrested for something, or goes on her own she will probably won't get the help she needs. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
andrewXxX answered Saturday April 30 2005, 1:23 pm: well i dont know exactly what shes using, but she seems sad about how your family treats her. maybe you guys should all have some kind of sit down and talk about your problems. i think she feels used and walked over. you should really do something before it gets serious. and if you knew this was going on why didn't you do something? for all you know today could be her last. she needs help and now.

XoxBroKeNxoX answered Friday April 29 2005, 11:08 pm: im sorry, i know how it is :..you should really send her to a hospital or make an annonymous tip to the police so they could give her a drug test. i know your mom means the world to you right now but what she is doing right now is killing her, and its tearing you up inside too. you should talk to her, but if thats not good enough (like she will deny or just not sit down w/ you), you should really tell a school counsiler. It may seem like a really bad thing to do, and it may get worse before its gets better, but you really need to get her some help. It would be much better for you and her.

Shorty123 answered Friday April 29 2005, 8:41 pm: I know i may not be the most brilliant person, but more then likley its cocaine.....Try an intervention. Try asking her to get help, or talk to her, tell her how you feel...
Do you have any idea why she started????Or why shes still doing it?
Like i said, try to get nearby friends and family, and do an interevention..
sdog1205 answered Friday April 29 2005, 8:18 pm: The drug your mom is using is cocaine. Cocanine looks like a white powder and people take it by snorting/sniffing it that's why she is always sniffing when she gets out of the bathroom. The stuff in the bathroom was probably cocaine that was left spilt. I used to do cocaine and it is exctremely addictive but she can get help. You need to help her get through this though. Try to keep her from stess and it's a good idea to try and keep her away from your sister and dad if they are being mean to her because that will cause stress and make her want to use. It's very important that you help her through this she can do it it's very possible. I don't mean to scare you but if she is using cocaine, which it sounds like she is to me, then it's important that you help her cocaine is extremely dangerous and she needs help.
