My mother in law has a big drinking problem but refuses to get help. What can I do?

  • Posted on January 25, 2011 at 7:22 pm

She drives drunk and can’t take care of her life anymore. She still has her job but every night she gets wasted right away and acts crazy. She has a mentally challenges daughter who needs her to be a good mother and role model.
When confronting her directly she knows she has a problem but will not do anything about it and gets extremely angry. My wife (at 14 years) confronted her and ended up being kicked out of the house for 2 weeks.
Please, we need to help her somehow. What can we do?

how can i (legally) help my 21 yr old daughter stop abusing roxies when she refuses help. i live in florida.?

she has an eighteen month old baby girl. They live with my parents. My parents supply her with a car and money and are being naive. My stepdad is the sheriff’s father. I have begged them to help her and not give her money. she and her boyfriend steal from them and they ignore it. i went to live with them to help my daughter recover from her addiction, she admitted to me thta she is addicted. she asked me for help. I told her it will not be easy and she would probably not like me a lot of the time but i could help. she agreed. I made arrangements for her to see a psychiciatrist for counsel and direction. The next thing i know, my mother gave my daughter her credit card to pay an up front fee of $250 to the doctor who supplies her friends the roxies. the very source. I told my mother she was killing my daughter because she will not listen to me. After my daughter stole money from my mother’s purse and my debit card yesterday, i confronted her and everybody turned against me, my parents made me leave. They are giving her a home to live in in a couple of weeks, so she’ll have no supervision. her boyfriend is weak and he does drugs with her sometimes. They both aked me for help, but now she’s mad because i told my parents about her addiction. i explained that i had to to help her not betray her. now she denies ever telling me she had a problem, says it’s my fault that she’s screwed up in the head (and i’m sure that comes from my mother), and she will be going to see the quack soon to get the pills. I’ve speculated for a long time because she suffers migraines, stomache aches, muscle aches, fatigue, moodiness, and she’s lost wieght. she claims she only snorts one a day. i don’t know what my rights are in florida. how can i help my daughter and granddaughter? can i baker act her or not? who should i talk to to find out what to do. i know hrs doesn’t do any good.

Defiant 10 yr old step daughter refuses to let you help her look presentable for school…what to do?

  • Posted on July 27, 2010 at 9:22 am

She argues with you about everything. Even what the caculator says is wrong when you use it. You decide to start picking your battles, letting things go unless it’s a safety issue. Today she gets angry at you before you start on her hair and won’t let you do it. Her bio father is already at work. It’s your job to get her off to school. You tell her, Fine, style it yourself. She finishes it and has an uneven part down the middle, lopsided pig-tails hair all over her head. She knows it looks bad. You offer to fix if she will apologize or ask you to redo it. She is to stubborn to do either. At first you feel empowered by not engaging a power struggle with a 10 yr old. However, when you take her to school won’t people think you must be a nelectful, intoxicated or uncaring step mother to send your child to class with a what appears to be raging bed-head?
Ivory_Fla why do I have to “apologize to her for being controling”. I told her that if she didn’t want me to fix her hair that was fine and on that day I would only assist if she treated me with the same respect that I give to her. (asking for assistance or apologizing for being disrespectful). I look at some of these answers and I know why America seems to be going the way of Rome, Egypt, Soviet Union and other legendary failed empires. Oh and I’m a step mother not a mental punching bag, not a shrink, not giving machine. I was raised by a mother who would of beaten my ass, treating me the way this kid does AND she would off taken away my dolls for a week AND made me go to school with messed up hair to boot. Also, ppl stop assuming that she and I don’t spend hours together doing all kinds of activities that she likes, that I haven’t bent myself into a pretzel trying to bond with her, understand her, love her. I’m starting to think THAT’s the problem. I’ve been TOO accepting!

Daughter refuses to drink from sippy cups?

  • Posted on January 9, 2010 at 10:09 am

My daughter will be a year old this month and is attached to her Playtex Drop-in bottles. We have been trying to gently introduce sippy cups since she was about 7 months old with no success. She wont drink from a straw, and although she will take a sip from an open cup, she prefers to try to stick her hand in it, or dump it on the nearest cat.
She HATES the Nuby sippy, and really doesnt like any with handles. A friend told me to give her only a sippy and she will eventually take it, did this work for you?
Any suggestions of sippy’s other than Nuby that dont have handles?
bluesoul, read the first line. She will be a year old in two weeks…
