hi im from canada and i struggle with helping my mom get over her addiction, im 14 and i have a chance of moving in with my aunt who is much more better for me and has more time, money and strengh too keep up with me. so do i stay with my mom for grade 8 and be stressed with the bills and her self or do i leave and start fresh with my aunt and hurt my mom for myself?
but don't abandon your mom. make sure she gets the help she needs. for now you need to be with someone who would keep you safe. you need to keep your health and body healthy. so i think your aunt would so the job and your mom should get help somewhere.
MSunbelievable answered Saturday July 11 2009, 6:45 am: hmmm, sounds like a tough situation
in my opinion id stick with my mother
if your mother was the kind that was always there foryou although she has an addiction , theres always a solution
id suggest you hang around your mother , let her know how you feel , try helping as well
your age has absolutely nothing to do with the actions you can take.
as you noticed kids arent the only ones
that make mistakes, adults do as well.
hopefully whatever her addiction maybe you
learn from it.
SO STICK AROUND , && HELP
get your aunt to help also , the more the merrier
hope all works , qood luck.

I would say for you to go with your aunt. Your mother is hurting you & herself with this addiction, and it's not fair of her to make you watch her bring herself down.
Go live with your aunt. She's willing to take you in, and can do it with ease. The environment is safer as well. Go with your aunt, talk to her about your mom & see if there is anything you guys can do to get your mom into a rehab center. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

Yes, It might hurt mom a little bit but make sure she knows that you love her and is it possible that you can stay at your aunts house just for a little while until things get straighted out? If not.. then maybe you could go home and visit mom on the weekends.
