I can sort of relate to the topic of MOM's being addicted to drugs. Mine was a pharmacutical junkie. She used to take pain meds for a hip and back problem and she was hooked. It got so bad, she was buying the ***** on-line. Once, she almost lost her life, I was soooo pissed and devastated. But, luckily, she got better by a miracle. I'm not a religious type of person, but I believe it was a gift from God. But, that was a large bump in the road, she has been into inpatient care for he addiction and mental health for couple of spells. Oh, 2 years ago she slit her wrist in front of my Stepdad. Luckily she got rushed to hospital and made it. For me, it's hell seeing your mother go through what she is putting herself through. It was a tough ordeal for me and I thought I was strong enough to cope, but I wasn't. I had help and it worked. Also, since I have been married almost a year and my wife is about due, she is getting better. If not, she has already been warned by me if she screws up.

But, I hope your situation gets better. Everything takes time.
