Drug Addict Sister, I don’t feel safe living at home!?
Question by p??? ?????s: Drug Addict Sister, I don’t feel safe living at home!?
I feel like I’ve hit my limit. I’m going to be 18 in a month. She disrespects everyone. She steals everyone’s money. And the worst part about it is, she was a thief, a liar, and a nasty person before she became an addict. I believe she is burnt out. She is belligerent toward everyone. She behaves mentally. I keep talking to my dad about how it is hurting us all that she is living with us and it is really disruptive to my education and well being, as long as my little sisters. She hit my little sister yesterday, and she wont go to school (she was supposed to be starting this week). She wont even do simple things that my mom asks her to do (like the dishes) and the other day I overheard her say to my mom “I don’t care if you’re dead! I’ll kill you and go to jail for life!”
She’s 23. I keep trying to tell my dad that she’s burnt out but he wont listen and thinks she will get better, when really things are getting worse every day. I want to move out, but I have nowhere to go. I don’t feel safe living at home….
Some please… help me…

Answer by lilac moon lavender june
1 800 784 6776. National Drug/Alcohol Abuse Hotline. Use it well.
First: Talk to your parents. Sit them down and tell them clearly and firmly your beliefs and your observations. State that she is not getting better, but worse, and that her problem is taking a toll on all of you. Bring your sisters into it, talk about their health. Put into motion a plan in which there are locks on doors, passwords on computers, and protection on money/wallets.
Second: Get help from someone at school or outside your family. See if you can set up a connection with a social/drug worker or an abuse counsellor in your area. Constant, concentrated help makes all the difference.
Third: See about your eighteenth birthday. I’m not an expert on all the benefits being an adult entails, but I think that having “someone who is poses a threat or danger to themself or others” removed from theri vicinity is one of them.
Stay strong.

Best answer:
Answer by lynnguys
You should only be taking fertility drugs under the guidance of a physician. The only implications that I know of are the side effects and the high incidence of multiple births. I would think that any misuse of fertility drugs could dangerous (just look at the warning label on most birth control pills!). I have a friend that had triplets after only one cycle of Clomid. Be wise and see your doctor!
Answer by schmushe
why do you not want to go to the hospital??
better to have these types of meds under medical supervision – maybe you dont even need it – but need some ovulating help and advice.
go to see your GP and then take it from there – you might have to wait for a hospital referral and appointment anyway so gives you time to think about it

Where can I find help for my now Ex- girlfriend. She is hooked on opiates and has been for years. She has no $?
Question by Ryan: Where can I find help for my now Ex- girlfriend. She is hooked on opiates and has been for years. She has no $ ?
We were together for 9 months but I have come to the conclusion that I just can’t take the pain anymore. She has been on opiates for years. She is now saying that she is ready to get off them but I know we can’t be together while this happens. I desperately want to help her as a friend in anyway that I can. She will have no where to live after she moves out of my house in 2 days, no money, no job, and she says her parents won’t even help her get assistance. She says she has been through the free rehabs before and the marchman act but they will kick her out after 3 days because they are so crowded with people in there from the court system. We live in Palm Beach county (South Florida). Where can I look for somewhere that will take her in, help her with her rehab, if she is willing to do it, and not make her leave in a few days? Please Help.

Prison
Answer by nalfred12
have her go to a NA meeting and ask people in the program what to do and where to go. Without resources, and a strong desire to quit, it does seem hopeless. The desire to quit will motivate you to do and/or go seek resources to help. I know that it sucks, but no one has died from opiate withdrawal. Truly the best avenue is the help that Jesus will give if you ask sincerely. God bless you!
