My mom does drugs and cheats on my stepdad what should I do?
Question by Miss India: My mom does drugs and cheats on my stepdad what should I do?
My mom and my stepdad used to do Meth but I think my mom is stopping because I told her that I knew about it and hasnt been acting weird. But now she smokes weed which isn’t really that big of a deal but still. All my stepdad does is sleep most of the time because he’s depressed. I don’t like him because he was mean to me when I was little but I feel sorry for him because my moms been cheating on him for 5 years with all different guys… I just don’t know what to do. I want to leave because I turn 18 in four months but I don’t want to leave my little brother and sister alone with these psychos… My mom or stepdad would never hurt the kids or anything like that and for the most part they take good care of them but I stay here with them to keep them mentally balanced… I’m just so confused and theres just alot more things going on besides that …

Your mom and stepdad used to do Meth? WOW! . . . and again, WOW! And now she smokes weed. My goodness. And your family has 3 children? and you 18 in four months.
Okay
First, in the eyes of the law, you are still a child. Given that, there is no way that you should have to be dealing with such adult decisions. YOU have been thrust into being an “adult” LONG before you needed to be. Yes, it happens all the time & no it is NOT fair!!!!. The truth is, you have been ROBBED! You Mom & Stepdad have robbed you [and your brother and sister] of your childhood [& theirs]. So . . . are you ready for this one? In my view, the line”My mom or stepdad would never hurt the kids or anything like that” is [I’ll say it kindly, but think it much worse] . . . is just not true. They ARE hurt. They have been living in a house where the exposure to [illegal] chemicals can HURT them BAD!
When the law goes in to “clean up” meth labs, they were haz-mat suits!!! Yes, “Hazard material” protection. And you have been living in a house where meth is available ??? WOW! The truth is, that your Mom & stepdad have endangered the welfare of you and your brother & sis BIG time! You have called it very aptly! You refered to them as “these psychos”.
So, what to do about this. Well, this is a very difficult decision that you have. But, here is what I recommend
If not, plan B: Get in contact with your state “child services” dept. You can find them in your white pages under your state listing. I assure you that child services will work towards keeping your bro & sis together! As for you, you only have 4 mos till you are legally an adult. So, I ask you how is your job status? Also, there is state aid available for someone in your position.
Have faith. Say a few prayers. And know that the right thing to do for you and your bro & sis is NOT an easy choice. And if you value & love them, you will do the right thing. In the long run, you and your bro & sis will be much better off!
Lastly, your Mom & Step Dad are NOT your responsibility in ANY way. I’ll repeat that; your Mom & Step Dad are NOT your responsibility in ANY way ! ! ! Plain and simple, they will take care of them self, good choices or not so good, they will
Be well & Bon fortune
P.S. Such a difficult scenario responded to with such a short answer. I KNOW that this situation is MUCH bigger than anything I can contribute!
