‹ Back to Gallerymy mom is a diabetic meth addict
My mom was an addict when I was a child, but watching her relapse again now that I am an adult has been by far much harder. My mom has been a diabetic for over 10 yrs, so her current drug abuse is definitely killing her. She went from being the best mom and grandma in the world to a stranger. It hurts do bad to have lost such a wonderful person. Every day I live n fear that I wIll get the call saying she is really gone. My family had tried just about everything to help her, but everything we have trIed to do seems to have made her adiction worse. None of us are positive if she is still using, but even if she has stopped the damage is done already. Her health is so bad and she maybe weighs 1 I lbs, and from what we understand her kidneys are failing, and as weak and frail as she is it could be anyday we lose her. I haven't seen or talked to my mom in months. Not because I don't want to, but because it hurts so bad to see her like this. I feel so much guilt for leaving her all alone. I feel like the worst daughter n the world. I wish I could help her so bad. But I don't know how to help her. Mentally she is not the same person. So how do u help someone that has an excuse for everything that has happened? This disease has tore my family up. I probably could use some counseling at this point. Where is Dr. Phil when you need him?
