Can you answer Dennis’s question about Addiction?:

I know you need to cut druggies off unless they get help but what happens if you also treat them like you hate them?

My brother is on Meth and he did a lot of horrible things to our family over the years. When our Mom passed away I finally retaliated and did a lot of horrible things to him. To be honest though it didn’t make me feel any better.

I am wondering what losing all family support will do to a drug addict?

Inpatient Substance Abuse Treatment

Can you answer ayleyha’s question about Addiction?:

My mother is on zanax (sp?) and a muscle relaxer- dangerous combo. She has been blaming it on our father who has cheated on her and caused a nasty divorce.
At first everyone was empathetic towards her because we all knew what she was going through. After a while though, it became old and frustrating because of her inability to go to work and do everyday tasks in a “high” state. The plot thickens after we talk to my older half sister who says that she had been doing this for years, putting us in danger as toddlers (not a very good driver after popping pills u see). So she lost her little depressed excuse over us, since she had been doing it for about 20 years.
She refuses to get help from anyone. She thinks that she is just fine staring into space, drooling and walking haphazardly into everything in sight. She even left the gas stove on on one occasion. I seriously am out of ideas and do not know what to do. I am 16 and have a younger sister to take care of when my mom is incapable.
