What to do with a parent drug addict in the house?

My mother is a pill popper and shes downstairs arranging flowers. We got in a fight already, and my dad is on a business trip, so I think thats why she is popping pills.


But what do you suggest I do?

You learn from her mistakes. That is the first most important thing for you to do.





If you're mother is "popping pills" it is something she does and has done before tonight. She is well aware of what she is putting in her mouth, and you're father probably is aware of it also.





If you feel grown up enough you can confront her and ask her why she takes them and what they are for. Let her explain to you her version of the story.





Maybe by you asking in concern she will have something to think about.
Reply:if you are old enough to move out then do so if not try and get help for her (either way do that) but ultimately it is up to her to take the help
Reply:GET HELP!! your mom may be doing this because she is depressed. Call an anonymous tip line or organize a family intervention
Reply:If you want to be discreet leave drug addiction pamphlets where she can find them. When Dad gets home mention it to him what your concerns are and maybe mention to him that if you noticed who else did and see if he can get her into some treatment program. My experience is most drug addicts until they reach rock bottom loose everything they have and admit they have a problem don't want the help or mask there addiction around those they don't want to hurt. Be careful on how you broach the subject with your dad but tell him you didn't know what to do.
