BeverlyM Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Nobody puts me down like my own mother. Sounds bad, and you may think I'm being sensitive BC I'm coming off Adderall, but I promise... This woman cares ab nothing except her self image. And its really hard to stay positive when the person that's supposed to be here for me most insults me, and treats me like I'm a step child she doesn't really care ab. How do I stay strong for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doge Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Try your best to just look forward and not care about what she says to you or thinks about you.This is your life. At the end of the day you have to live with the consequences of your choices so nobody has the right to manipulate you or pressure you into making a choice that isn't right for you.I know it's hard and that probably doesn't help much but it's all I got.Hang in there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassie Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Can you start going to NA or meth anonymous meetings in your area? Smart Recovery is another one. You should get some in person support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeverlyM Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I don't drive BC I have seizures, so anywhere I went, she would have to take me and even if it was BC I needed it, she would make me feel bad ab her having to get out when she didn't need anything. And I don't have a babysitter. I'm moving into my own apartment in a couple months, back to where I grew up and I know people there so I think that will help a lot. I'm just stuck here, really. I have my daughter and she keeps me goin more than anything. Her imagination and innocence, and genuine love in everything really helps me realize there's a reason why I'm doing this.

BeverlyM Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I have so far, but my daughter went to her dads today. And some might say its easier to fall back into the habit when your kid is around, but I found a while back that is a selfish thought. It may be "easier" for me to take my pills but from her point of view, she's wondering why her mom gets irritated ab everything. So, my scare is that since she's gone for the week, I'm not gonna be able to find a reason to not take them. This is real hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
