Should I turn in my daughter’s violent abusive husband?

  • Posted on March 5, 2011 at 6:17 am

I want to turn him in but I’m so scared of what he could do to my daughter. A no contact order in effect for the past year that he is violating. He never did comply with the law. She says she let him back in because she needs him to pay the bills. They have two small children that are being subjected to the abuse of their mother.She is under chronic stress from his abuse there yet she won’t leave him.
He assaulted two police officers ( one was female) when my daughter called the police on him last year.
He is an alcoholic, past drug addict, has epilepsy with grand mall seizures and is so mean it’s off the charts. Also very cocky about it all. He spent a few days in jail for the assaults on the officers but other than that he never seems to have any consequences for his appalling behavior. We wish he would just leave her and the kids and never contact them again. But some have said it’s not possible. I am so discouraged but can’t take her and the kid’s abuse anymore.

my daughter is an addict with mental issues who needs help, where do I turn when she is clear across counrty.?

  • Posted on October 28, 2010 at 1:22 am

she is only twenty years old…seems to be in and out of reality most days and she has no home or job. She hops from place to place and goes to the hospital all the time. she knows deep down she is not right and gets scared…but does not choose to leave the drugs alone. The hospital just turns her away and tell her she is fine. Once she was commited for less than 48 hours and I begged them to keep her but they said she was just brought in high on crystal meth and seemed quiet fine after she came off of it. They just gave her the speech of where to seek additional help and released her. Is there a way to get her committed to a rehab/mental health place through the state..we are of limited income and I truly believe at this point she does not know how to help herself and needs an intervention…I am at a loss.. I took leave from work, just last month and went to bring her home the trip was unsucessful. She always asks me am I okay…I tell her no and she says pray for me. HELP!

How can a woman just turn around one day and not love you anymore when you’ve done nothing wrong?

  • Posted on October 2, 2010 at 4:17 pm

I don’t get it. I’m 30 years old, divorced (of course, but that’s another story) and I just don’t understand. My last gf was totally in love with me, or so it seemed. We were together for 7 months, and I really felt like she was the one, we did everything together, like best friends, which she even said to me on occasion, then one night she decided to go on a coke binge and not tell anyone where she was for 2 days. Everything was going ok, I mean it wasn’t perfect, but I was willing to give it my all to stay together. Even after this happened, but then, get this, SHE left ME! I don’t know, I guess I just really miss her. We had plans together, we even went and looked at some engagement rings. It’s such a shame, and I can’t seem to get over her. I know she isn’t perfect, but who is? I was really happy with her. She had a daughter that I loved like my own. And now I don’t know if she ever really loved me at all. I’m sorry, I know I sound like a sap, but I’m starting to get older and I really just want to settle down and start my own family. thanks, just needed to vent to anyone willing to listen.

I need to leave my daughter’s father, where should I turn for support?

  • Posted on September 2, 2010 at 10:17 pm

My daughter is 4 months old. Her father and I are living together. He is an alcoholic. I have asked him to stop bringing alcohol in the house. He can’t. He is a miserable person.
I know he needs help, but I cannot help him. I know I need to leave, but I am not strong enough.
Will any single mom’s who have left their babies father please share your stories. Also, what was the best support that you had?

How do I handle my ex turning friends and trying to turn my kids against me?

  • Posted on August 23, 2010 at 7:19 pm

My STB ex is a closet alcoholic…I enabled him to hide his drinking. I confronted him several times and got lots of promises..not to quit, but to “slow down.” I fell into the trap of counting cans, dumping out bottles of liquor…trying to make him feel guilty, etc. I finally got tired of the two and three times a week binges, eventually became completely disgusted with him…particularly when he would become so intoxicated he would urinate in the bed…and sleep in it!! Or on the couch…or in our child’s bed, one particular evening…and on and on. When our kids (5 and 8) began to notice his behavior, I had HAD IT…we are now separated…because I never went to any of our friends about it..(too embarrassed) he says I am lying about everything…and now is making up stories about how I have stolen money from him, how I am manipulating the kids, how I have had several affairs…etc. He twists the truth and plays the victim very well. SOME of our friends see through it and are very supportive of me…I don’t have a history of doing ANY of the things that he claims…and I work with children so I KNOW BETTER than to do something so negative to my kids….so his stories are NOT believable…HOWEVER…there are some “friends” who have actually confronted me about some of his stories! ….or that say how “ridiculous” my claim of is alcoholism is because they “never saw it.” My daughter is currently seeing a counselor because of the things that “daddy says about mommy”…she says she knows these things aren’t true and has even told him that , but she is getting help in dealing with him….taking her into a bathroom and questioning her…counting to three when she holds her hands over her ears…telling her that I am a liar…..etc. I just want to SCREAM the truth to some of these people…but have maintained a low profile and continued to keep my mouth shut. HOWEVER…it is getting harder and harder!! Any advice? Anyone else dealing with this kind of thing? How do I not let it bother me so much?? I am praying that God will watch over my kids hearts when they are with him, and he has even been told BY HIS LAWYER to stop the negative talk about me…but he continues! How do I get him to stop?

How do you turn in a neighbor who you think is a meth user?

  • Posted on August 22, 2010 at 8:22 am

I am baby sitting for my grand child who is only 10 months old. My daughter is lives in a apartment building where there are meth users in the building. Some of the neighbors are concerned about this including my daughter. It was reported to the land lord, but he does not seem to care. One of the meth users has mental problems including using meth. This woman has threatened my daugher and her child, my grand son. The police has ben called many times, but they fail to do anything about this. Another concern is that they will cause the building to burn down. Should I call someone in charge of drug inforcement? Any suggestions?

SOS! SOS! I need help paying for my meds and dont know where to turn! HELP!?

  • Posted on July 31, 2010 at 1:22 am

I recently lost my job and my insurance through no fault of my own. Now I am stuck with prescriptions that I need but cannot afford! I am currently taking amphetamine salts (adderall) for my ADHD. I take 3, 10 mg, a day, which adds up to $125 a month, without insurance. I have searched for programs that might help, but all I can find are programs for Adderall XR. (which I am not prescribed to-) I cannot simply stop the medication, however, I do not have any money coming in to cover my bills and care for my daughter, let alone all my meds I need. (I am also taking Lexapro and Yaz, and so far my doc has been giving me sample packs to help me out, however, I know this won’t last forever, and I will soon have to purchase those meds as well) Any help, advice, or referrals would be SO SO appreciated! Thanks so much!
Heather
