Is there any ounce of hope for my mother?
Well,you're mothers main issue here IS her addiction to pain killers(that's my guess opiates),and what doctors so often mistake is that they treat their patients with so many anti depressants.And that seems to be the case as with you're mom,she is so consumed with taking pills,and now her doctor has diagnosed her with depression to boot.It's never ending with many of these doctors,1 will give their patients pain killers,while the other will give their patients anti depressants.I'm surprised you're mother hasn't had a mental breakdown by now.Seriously.I was also on this merry-go-round,I was on it for many years,and had a break down of my own.I was taking so many anti depressants,anti anxiety medications and on top of that I was popping so many pain pills(around 60 a day).Until finally 1 day,I had no choice but to get myself some hlp and get clean.The only way out for you're mother is that she's going to have to hit her OWN rock bottom.Not too much that you or anyone else in the family can do or say to her.I too wouldn't dare leave my child alone with her,not at all.And you're father(her husband) isn't helping matters either,but he is in denial himself,no one wants to admit that their partner is an addict or even needs help for that matter.That's a very hard thing to see,or even go through.You're mom is basically on her own,she already knows the truth,you have already made the facts prefectly clear to her as it is.The only other thing you can do,is to stay away from her altogether.This is the only real solution I can think of,and it really isn't enough to make her see,as she already knows the truth.But it would do you some good,as it wouldn't put you right in the middle of her drug use.I didn't like who or what I was when I was using,and I did notice how my using affected others around me.And now,I see how many people stayed clear of me while I was using,kept their diatance from me.But it still wasn't enough for me to even want to come clean.I had to hit my own rock bottom,we all have own own bottom.The question is,how far down is you're mothers bottom.Only she knows that answer for sure,and I hope it doesn't cost her everything or everybody.I wish you and you're family all the very best.Good luck to you all.
