my mom..
I don't know what to do with my life anymore...my mom OD'd for the third time in her life today... and I think this time is bad. Everything in my life is falling apart. I don't know what to do with my life. I'm only 15 and turning 16 in 4 days...All my family live in Rhode Island but they are all messed up too and my life is pretty much here where i live now... I don't know what to do. My dad doesnt care about me he only cares about his drugs and alcohol. I don't wanna live the rest of my life without parents.

Yes, I agree with the previous advice. You need to be okay with them getting into rehab. It will benefit everyone. If they don't get help, and continue to poison themselves, they are not going to be able or willing to parent anyone or even take care of themselves. You have a better chance at having a normal life if you get help and don't have to be at the mercy of all this drama and destructive behavior. You need to think about yourself and your goals right now. The parents may straighten up in the future, but don't live your life waiting around for them. When people are drug and alcohol addicted they do not think or feel clearly, and they sacrifice everything they once held dear for their next fix. It is a sad horrible reality. I know about this firsthand and feel for you tremendously. You are not alone and you will eventually be able to surround yourself with all the loving friends and family you want in your own adult life. We cannot choose our parents, but at least we have a life through their bringing us into this world. It may be a struggle, and you may have to grow up and be more of an adult than they are acting, but you can and will succeed in your own life despite your bad examples. Get support and advice from trusted people, teachers, school counselor, peer groups, and yes, even child protective services and the police. They can get you in touch with couseling, and additional resources as you need them. Do not be ashamed. Be brave. My thoughts go with you and I know that you will be blessed for your courage.

I would like to first start off by apolozing for your mother and your situation. The thing is though, your parents are probably not ready for children and they should get help FAST. Let them go to rehab, and in the mean time, you can be with a nice, sober, CARING foster family. Basically, your life and your parents life can be "cleaned up" by YOU. Just notify a teacher that isn`t a dingleberry that you can TRSUT and is wise or authorities and they will get you and your family help.
Hope I helped.
Let me know what goes down.
