My son is a drug addict. Im am falling apart..how Can I help him?
My husband and I are 49...Our son is 25 and still living at home. He keeps to himself mostly, but doesnt work. He has been charged with various drug offenses numerous time and has always gotten out of them with no consequences. He is a daily cocaine, marijuana, alcohol user. I watch in fear most days that he life will be short. I try and detach, but you cant just cut off feelings. This is a HUGE strain on my marriage, my health (which is still good) How can I get through to him. I cant kick him out in the streets. How do I get peace of mind for myself. How can I convince my husband to talk to him and have a relationship with him. He has long given up on him and wishes it would all just go away. He wants him to leave the house, but I hold on against hope that something will change him.........HELP please
Babies born to drug addicted mothers?
The factors mainly, are the drug itself. Then the time, and amount used. If the girl/woman was a hardcore/longtime user of these, the chances of the child being born with learning disabilities are higher. The newborns (if the mom was still on them) will naturally go through withdrawals and need the hospital to wean them off. Hospital High-Risk Units NICU will do this. Then the team of doctors will do a series of tests to determine if their has been any Immediate organ damage, liver, eyes, kidney, etc. A lot of symptoms don't show up right away. There are chances - and I say chances because there is no proof positive 100% Study out there except for data collected after a couple of years of development from babies who have had problems - that the child will develop learning disabilities, etc. The child's doctor Should be advised of the prior use. And, of course, the doctor delivering the baby.

How do I tell my girlfriend that I'm addicted. . .?
Start by telling her how hard it is for you just talking about this and how you really need her to be there for you. Then begin at the beginning. Tell her your history, then move on to the present. Make it clear that you are genuinely sorry for starting up again, and that you really would like to stop but you need her help and support. Just be truthful, and I'm sure she'll be touched with your trust and honesty.
