How do you handle a person with a meth problem that is in a psychosis??? How can a person get them to acknowledge they have a problem.

[@sharonb.7867]

I would like to follow and see if you get an answer. My husband and I are struggling with an adult child on meth. It is a whole new agony to live with!!

Thank you ladies.Iam an Aussie mum who has been on the round about with my son for 20+ yrs. Recently he suffered seizures from involuntary detox because of lack of substance. He is broken and has started talking help. Have a rehab facilities that ticks all the boxes he needs for recovery. When /How do I start the conversation about this

[@kellynottingham-smith2873]

Q: Should I apologize and recognize, to my addicted loved one, that I’m sorry for handling prior situations badly. For example pushing them to get treatment when they weren’t ready. Would that give me any leverage in the future?

[@mamachichidesigns6444]

If your loved one is drinking to the point of hospitalization, is it time? I have had to do cpr twice within 3 weeks.

He has no problem, I am the problem that causes him to need to loose himself every night in many ounces of whiskey til he falls asleep 💤

Why are grandparents hardly ever on the same page?

[@PutTheShovelDown]

It's actually pretty rare for any family members to be on the same page.

What do you do when your daughter takes off is with a boy only comes home when you're not there and showers and gets clean clothes while you sleep. They're calling people for money, lying to them. Great manipulation wgat can i do

Change your locks. If she breaks in that is breaking and entering, and sometimes, a little jail time is a catalyst to change.
