My mom is a drug attitic
I'm only 16 years old ,I as well have a 6 year old sister.
My mom is a drug attitic and was sober for 4 monthes after a 9 month relapse,which was the worst time of life for me.
Recently she began using again,she yells at me for NO reason,throws my stuff,tells me all this bad negative stuff and doesn't understand how much it hurts me .She usually goes in the middle of the night to get drugs and it wakes me up and I end up crying all night .She never cleans the house when shes on drugs and leaves it to me to do.She blames everything on me and just thinks everything is my fault and she promises all the time that shes done and she lies about it and covers it up with some story.I'm such a happy girl,I've never smoked and never done drugs and I don't need this negativity in my life.My father used to be a drug attitic as well but he doesn't yell at me or blame me ,he understands me...yet he just doesn't do anything.He lives with his mother now,so I can't turn to him.
She's gotten close to hurting me before ,but she hasn't...yet im scared.
She thinks that when shes on drugs,that she's no different from when she's not on them.Obviously thats false.I sometimes pack my stuff and stay at a friends house,but sometimes she threatens that If i dont come home,she won't give me money for things like food,clothes,etc. So I end up coming home,even though I just wanna stay out with my friends.
Please help!,im trapped and alone

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
I realize that even though your mother is a drug addict, you obviously love her very much, but having said that my advice to you is that you need to get you and your little sister out of that situation as soon as possible!! It's definitely not healthy and possibly not even safe for you two to be there. Do you have any family members you could go stay with? If not, then please find an adult that you trust and let them know your situation. Unfortunately sweetie you can't help your mother if shes not willing to help herself but you can prevent any harm coming to you or your little sister. Not to scare you ..but if you don't do something soon it might be too late. Not only that but eventually someone else will figure it out and then they will notify the authoritys and there may be a possibilty that you and your sister get seperated. Please keep in touch with me and let me know how you're doing and in the meantime I will pray that God keeps you and your sister safe. Good luck!!

You must speak to someone in a position of trust to explain the situation you are living in. Try seeking out advice from a GP , School Counsellor or an adult member of your family or friends families.

You are such a strong & responsible young lady & you should not feel threatened in your home least of all by your mum. Drug and alchol addiction is always a destructive cycle. Do you have a kids crisis line you can call? Why can't you & your sister stay with your Dad & Nanna? Your Mum needs help & you are not able to provide her with the professional help she needs. so you might have to consider tough love. She is emotionally blackmailing you to keep you under her control. Her life is out of control. I feel so sad for you & your little sister. Can you secretly video her have a video diary show her how bad your situation is show her she is too unstable to have you in her care. she not showing you 2 care she is destructive self indulgent. She should be running the house not the children. Can you seek out a trusted friend parents to guide you in this process of sorting this mess out You cannot go on like this. when you leave home your sister is still vunerable for even more abuse. Save yourselves even if you cannot save your Mum she has to save herself. Good Luck Sweetie I'm praying for all of you. Seek help from a trusted source.

I think you should try Intervention? They help people with problems with drug and alcohol.

Also, If your mom doesn't get help concidering you and your sister are minors it COULD only be a matter of time before the state steps in. If the intervention doesn't do anything for you than I would try going to a family member talk to them about putting your mother into treatment.
