Drug Rehab For Women With Children
How do you help someone who won’t help themselves?
I am almost 30, happily married & with two children. Problem is that my mother is a drug addict & has been one for over 15 years. She’s been in & out of rehab & jail even. She’s been married recently but to a low-life ex-con who only enabled her drug use. I recently made her go back to rehab after she relapsed – she was living in my house when this happened & I didn’t want that around my kids. She relapsed while in rehab & has been out in the streets for a month now. WTF do I do? I love her so much but my 1st responsibilty is to my kids & husband. She at least has called me every monday from a strange number the past few weeks but has yet to contact me this week. I’m just scared. Anyone else go thru this crap with loved ones? I want to give her tough love & be all hard a$$ but I love her. She is a good women when she’s clean. Help anyone. No smarta$$ answers!!!
It’s funny that we look to our parents for answers but what can we do when they can help themselves. It’s good that you love your mother but sometimes tough love is the best love you can give anyone( even a parent who won’t even help themselves) You have to worry about your family and try to keep the kids away from all that drama because I know you don’t want them to hurt as much as you do for your mom. I always say this to myself when I have a problem with someone, ” I can show you better than I can tell you.” Good luck and I wish the best for you and your family.
