Mom is like a drug addict
Ugh I'm sick of it, my mom is seriously obsessed with sleeping pills. I'm really worried about her. Shr doesn't sleep if she doesn't take them and she doesn't sleep when she does take them. I already told her whats the point of taking the pills if you cant sleep and you can't sleep if you don't take any.
I think i want to bring to a drug rehab center.. Just because i'm worried about her. I want her to be with me for a really long time. Any ideas on how I can make her stop taking them?? She doesn't listen to me when I tell her to stop taking them..

no you cant stop her...
you need to think this through
talk to her about it
how old are you...are you 17? or younger...
if your younger see if there is someone you could stay with...like a friend or relitive!
if you report her your going to have child services on ur moms ass like a hawk you might not see ur mom again...
try talking to her first!
if she is a hazard to you or others then you HAVE TO REPORT HER..
but if its just sleeping pills find out what kind they are n awl..maybe research

You can make her stop taking them easily, if you can physically do it. What you do is call the police. Not 911, but their non-emergency contact. Tell them that your mother has become addictive to the point of abusive, and you need something or someone to take care of it. They will probably come and drag her off to a court, where you would testify your case. That's the hard part. Just remember that you are doing this for HER good, however hard it is.
Then, she'll probably be sentanced to rehab, and that'll fix her problems with the pills.
Try to get her to go willing first, though, by just telling her that you think she has a problem, and it's eating up her life. You want your old mother back. Just try that first, then do it by force.

speeking from my own experiences, you can't just say,"hey mom, i think you need to go to rehab", because then she will relapse. she has to want to go for her self.
Do what my parents did for me. They raided my room and found anything and everything that i did. sleeping pill, pipes, bongs..etc.
So you should collect all of her pills. she may not think that she is completely deppendent on the pills. So help her see that she isn't independent from them.
When she can see that she has a problem, you can possibly help her realise that she does indeed have an addiction.
You should definately let her decide if she needs help. you don't want to push her anything she will later falling through on.
good luck~

you should talk to a teacher, counselor, or a family member. this is a serious problem. let her knw you care and that you are concern, and get other people to help you overcome her problem, because your mom cant do it by herself.
--hope it helps--

Maybe you should search the pills that she is taking or simply the effects that sleeping pills could cause. Make her know what is going on and make her see how dangerous these things could really be if she continues to do as such. Do not begin this conversation in an aggressive manner because by that you won't get anywhere and I truly do mean this. Let her know that you really do care. Force the issue calmly. If she doesn't see reason, then that is her. I'm sorry. If she doesn't see reason, then the best thing you could do is tell a grandmother or grandfather, dad, uncle, aunt, her doctor. Someone that you can trust. Someone that's influential in your mothers life. Someone who could possibly make her see reason. Just talk to her about it but do not be surprised if that fails. It's natural and predictable. But if you talk to someone who's influential in your mother's life, then there is a good possibility that they'll get through to her more than you will.
