My dad died a month ago and ever since then my mom's been really happy. They used to fight all the time and they were going to get divorced because of it. But ever since he died she's been soo happy and she's been going out with all of these different guys most of which hit me or her. If I ever even mention my dad or I cry about it she starts screaming at me and telling me that I'm a pathetic baby. I loved my dad he was soo good to my mom he tried so hard to make it work between the two of them for me and my older sister (she moved out before he died). I hate my mom she's put us through so much and I just can't stand her. So recently I've been staying with some of my friends a lot and I tried LSD. It was really great and it helped me a lot just to get away from everything that's been going on. I've heard all the horror stories about drugs but I just can't believe that they would be true. Well my question is is there anyway for me to get away from my mom so I don't have to deal with her always being a bitch to me and hitting me? And are drugs really as bad as people make them out to be or are the stories just bullshit like they are for LSD?
First of all, <b>your mom situation</b>. I don't care who she is dating, but she has no right to let the guys she date hit on her let alone you. You are her child, and she has a duty to protect you. You need to talk to someone that you are close to in your family or in your community. Let them know what is going on. You shouldn't have to stay in a living situation that is unstable. If you are close to your older sister, talk to her.
Second of all, doing any kind of drugs is bad for you. Believe me, the stories that you hear are <b>NOT</b> bullshit, otherwise they wouldn't be out there. There are many kids out there suffering from the after and long term affects of doing drugs. Do your research. If you think LSD is safe, then think again.
And last, <b>your dad</b>. I am so sorry to read that he passed away, but this doesn't give your mom a right to go into celebration mode. She should be respectful of your feelings and the love that you had for your dad, regardless of the way that she felt. You should talk to a counselor at school about your dad's death, and you should be allowed to mourn properly over him.

karenR answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 2:23 am: Sorry for your loss.
If things are that bad with mom, and you don't have a relative you can stay with, call social services and get put in foster care.
The drugs are very bad. Stories you've heard probably don't even touch the reality. Including LSD. As a former worker in an emergency room I'm talking from experience. I also know a guy who was once a very talented trumpet player...he now wanders around town wearing a superman cape getting messages from God. He's no longer on drugs but his brain is fried. There are other ways of forgetting your problems. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Now, you need to get away from your mom. If she wants to be happy about your father that's her mistake but she has no right to hit you or not consider your feelings. He was your father and no matter what she says you have the right to cry for him and want to talk about it. You need to get out of that house. It's good that you have been staying with a friend but if that friend is the one that got you started with the drugs then you really need to find somewhere else to stay. I know from experience that drugs are as bad as people make them out to be. You obviously had a good trip and I'm not going to lie to you I know what it's like it's an incredible experience but it is not worth it. Once you get caught up in drugs it is extremely hard to get away from it. I've been clean for a year now and it is still extremely hard for me to resist them. If you think drugs will make things better for you you are wrong. They only make things worse.
The stories are not bullshit. Like you the first drug I tried was LSD and it turned me on to other drugs. Pretty soon drugs were my life. I was putting my life and the lives of the people that I loved in danger. If you get caught up in this (which you will if you continue to use) it will not help you it will make your life a living hell. Again if you ever need to talk let me know and I will be there for you.

If you can't stand your mom so much then leave. Go saty with your sister or another relative. And the facts about drugs are not bullshit really take my first example president bush.Really think.

Second, yes, drugs are as bad as they say they are. LSD is a tricky drug. You evidently had what is called a good trip, but LSD doesn't effect you the same way every time you take it. A bad trip can cause you to go completely nuts for a while (many people have killed themselves and others thinking crazy things like I can fly or he's an evil alien). Then LSD causes things called Flash-backs. This is when you trip without taking the drug again. I work with a woman who had a flashback during a meeting with our boss. She said his face turned green and started melting off. She almost lost her job for walking out of the meeting. Take care of yourself. [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]
