Speak Up

Im 28 years old and for as long as I can remember my mom (46 years old ) has always done crystal meth. It wasnt until I was a teenager I knew what this "ICE" (crystal meth) was. When I was a little girl I remember finding "cool looking" glass pipes in random places, I think it was supposed to be hidden. I would tell my mom at the time "look mommy, look what I found!" She would get mad at me, then my dad would ask questions. She would go crazy and tell my dad some crazy story of how it got in the house. My Parents split up. At my elementry school the teacher would talk about drugs and being drug free, they would talk about the effects of doing drugs. Im a pretty smart person and pretty much paid attention in class. So I came to a self conclusion that my mom smoked "ICE". See the crazy part of this whole thing is she has always been the same way 28 years and I dont know what my mom is like drug FREE!....I have 2 sisters 26 and 14 now, we asked and accused her of smoking crystal meth because through out the years we have been through alot with her. Things go missing, she would freak out for no reason, she stays up all night and sleeps all day. We find little clear plastic bags and straws hidden in her purse or in her shoes, and then we find glass pipes. Of course she denies it being hers. We struggled financially because of her habit that we were forced to be homeless or live with her "friends". When she goes to the bathroom she stays in there for over an hour. I asked her once, "why do you take so long in the bathroom everytime" she says "im constipated"......Constipated everyday for 28 years I think that calls for a doctors visit!!!! After seeing all the signs and symptoms catching up to her over the years she still DENIES that she does crystal meth. How do you help someone you love get help for something she cant even admit to doing??? Shes been trying to hide something like this from her whole family for years, but little do she know we DO know so why try to keep this game up. GET HELP!!! I want to be able to trust her with my kids (her grandkids) I want to be close to my mom. The more she keeps this up the futher apart from her I grow. This is my story of my mom. I want her to get better before its too late.
