Apparently, I have to resort to a locked box somewhere.

((((((((Pam))))))))) I can't imagine witnessing that and not being able to do anything. I'm hoping you can find a new home soon and hoping your housemate and DD will get some help, though it doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon. Glad you let it out here.


Big hugs

I would have called the police in a second...and I have twice on my son. Don't think about your roomate or her daughters attitude about it....think about the young family she may broadside in that car and what it would do to their holidays. If she is stealing pain meds she knows like every other addict how to intensify that feeling....mixing with alcohol. She will kill someone....maybe not today or tomorrow...but one day someone will die if she is allowed to continue. Call the cops next time Pam.

editted to say that angry face is not directed at you but to the addict.

{{{{{{{{{{Pam}}}}}}}}}}. I can understand about you wanting to help this "child" and I'm glad that you have vented. I really am concerned about you and your situation. You need to protect yourself from this insanity, and as a friend, I gently suggest that you put a stop to it. I would like to suggest that you stop letting her use your computer and make her go out to school. Now, that she's already proven herself not to be trusted, you have no other choice. There comes a point that you have to say, "enough is enough". As a recovering addict myself, I know that I must hit bottom, but until I was willing to admit that I had a problem, then only then could I change. I know that you needed to vent, but I'm glad that you got it out of your system. Tough love, sometimes has to overcome, compassion and understanding. Even I had to accept that from my friends here, and IRL.

Thanks and Hugs from Gigi.

 


Hugs,


Sebastian

I am so sorry you have to be put in this situation. How old is she any way? I would have called the cops. I had to on my Bro a time or two for the same only he was threatening me and stealing my jewelry to pawn. This is a tough one! you don't need all that put on you. and what if something happened to her...you would feel guilty right? I would try to talk to the mom again. I cant imagine not knowing my kid was using drugs, unless I was too. I hope to know my kids and hopefully they will trust me to tell me if they are doing something so I can help. I wont be one of those that think my kids do no wrong! I already know better and they are so young! I can already tell that i may have a few cop calls of my own with at least Jeremy! Good luck, Mandi

Your roommate is obviously being manipulated by her dd, and eventually this kid will try and manipulate you (if she hasn't already) to get what she wants. Whether this girl is addicted or just selling the drugs (or both), she is a very dangerous person and so is her mother, IMHO, by looking the other way. Get out of there asap. If she is into crystal and/or other drugs and stashing them somewhere in that house, and you are residing there when the feds raid the house, you could find yourself in a lot of trouble (I'm not exagerrating).

((((((((((Pam))))))))) I really hope you can get a place of your own and get moved out of their ASAP. It sounds like it is going from bad to worse.


I say that roommate's kid has lost the privilege of using your computer for good. If she really needs one for school, she can go to the library. I would definitely get the meds locked up, sometimes it just has to be done. And though it may be all for nothing, I would still talk to roommate about it, if nothing else at least the kid will know for certain that you are on to her.


And I am with the others, if you catch her driving or doing anything else that she is not supposed to again, I would call the police in a heartbeat.


Big hugs! and many sanity vibes!!

Pam, can you replace the pills with a good laxative, a strong one. While her butt explodes
she will have something to think about, like not taking your pills anymore.
I think I would do that. Just try not to laugh to hard while her butt is exploding.
Hugs,
