Should I run away until I make it better?


Question Posted Sunday December 18 2005, 6:59 am

My mom caught me smoking weed around three months ago, and I'm STILL grounded, even though she does it.
Well, a little over two months ago my mom came home from a party high and extremely drunk, and piss, and depressed, and, long story short, attempted suicide and spent 5 days in a hospital. I don't know how I stayed grounded though all of that, but I still am. I get random UAs too. I was thinking tonight that I could gather up some money, some stuff, and run away from home. I'd keep in contact with my family, and not come back until they'd stop with the UA stuff, because I don't think it's right that I get my schoolwork done and then smoke responsibly on the side, and she gets drunk and high and does crazy shit and has a crappy job. If I ran away, I would have shelter. should I do it now? wait till after Christmas? Not do it?

**and her reason I shouldn't smoke is because I'm 15, even though I alwas do homework and stay safe when I do it

Wow 15 male ...hmmm well since your mom does it to i am guessing the only reason she is mad is cause she dont want you to end up like her ..she relized how much she is screwing you and the family up and doesnt want that to happen to you..but ya maybe if you do run away you wont have it that bad...but one thing why do you smoke weed....no offense or nothing but its sooo bad:(..anyways not here to judge i promise but maybe you should just suggest you going to a friends until things settle at home..but if you are gonna run away leave a note and keep in touch just so she knows you ain't hurt or nothin but i wouldnt really suggest runnin away without and warning or nothing cause that could just make things worse but i do recommend talkin it over and majorly suggest you stayin at a friends til things settle and if she gets mad then do it anyway just dont tell her what friends...good luck and i hope things get a little better

A little bit of weed is not worth all of this trouble. You won't be grounded forever. Just wait it out longer. Trust me, it's really hard to live away from home, a lot harder than you might think. You might get all your schoolwork done now, but there's no guarentee about how much things will change if you run away from home. Not to mention, your mom would be even more depressed than she is now, and might actually succeed in killing herself the next time she'd attempt. Would you honestly be able to live with the guilt or the sadness of losing your mother? You might feel like a bad ass and be like, "yeah, sure," but you probably wouldn't. Stop thinking of only yourself for once and realize your mother has some serious issues and try to be there for her. Running away is not the way to handle it all right now.
