Hi everybody my name is MIchelle my mother is also on this web site she is Mead. I was diagnosed with add when i was in the first grade, then later on with depression, then later on it was odd what ever that means, so i take three very expensive meds and can't afford it. Life can pretty much suck the fun right out of you. I also just moved in to a house with a crack addict man in it and it driving me crazy i know that saying anything to him wont make the situation better but now we don't have any gas which mean no hot water no oven no dryer. he was supposed to turn himself in I don't now how many days ago i don't know what to do. My Aunt says that she will leave him but when we have six people in that house my aunt the crack head (that i have to hide everyfrom) 13 boy,7 year boy, and 8 year old boy. then me. can someone please help me with my problem and tell me what to do. :confused:

This is touchy,,,,,, For one, that is not a safe environment for children at all. Two, Your Aunt needs to step up and do something ASAP. Three, if she doesn't then maybe you need think about finding somehwere else to be and maybe even those children should not be there either. As a recovering addict I will say in all honesty that when I was useing, my life was no safe place for kids. Luckily, I had help with them and when it got really bad, I had someone take them for me till I could get my **** together. Have you talked to your mom about this? I hope things work out for the best and your Aunt makes good choices.

Can you talk to your mom and your aunt and together make desisions/choices on how to make your living situation healthier for you? Perhaps there is a women's centre in your town that would have alternate places for you to live until your aunt can sort out her problems?
Best wishes.

Thank you I will give a better listing of what is all going on in this okay so let me start a new thread first i needt o figure out how.

Yesterday i gave to you all a breif little thing on what was happening in a place that i am forced to call home. On July 9 of this year i thought i would be better that i move away from my hometown in texas up here to the north with my aunt to see if i could umm... how do i say it grow up. Well, to come to find out the house to filthy and and my uncle is a crack addict i have to hide money and my ciggareetes from him. a week ago the gas was turned off at the house becuase my genius uncle illegaly turned it on awhile ago. and now he wont turn himself in for theft of service. my aunt can't risk losing her job she is the only one with a job in the house. So now he is supposed to be working onthe car and he hardly does that and supposed to turn himself in and i don't see that happening my aunt says that she is kicking him out but i say when. Now we have no gas, no hot water, no oven, no food, nothing nice cuase it keeps on getting torn up. HIs family treat himthe way we do. Also i need your help to find out what to do. I am scared and ****ed i want to killthe man. Also, i don'tknow where to even start looking for a place to live around here. I need help> well, maybe job corp will let me stay there. If this Crap doesn't start to fix it self by like november then i will start to send all my crap tomy fathers and thenwhen i go home for christmas ijust won't come back. But please someone help me. I don't know what to do. I just want to go home now. I really wnat to go home. Tell me mommy I love her.

what is a woman center

A woman's centre is a place, usually staffed by volunteers, which helps women to access resources. They can tell you about things like educational classes, places to live, job skills training etc. Your doctors office may know of one...

You live in Lakewood, Ohio right? Here is a community directory for there.

And here is a church group which helps people with housing and food needs, as well as job search etc.

And here is a family outreach centre, maybe it would help your aunt?

Which ever choice you make at this point, do it with dignity. There is no shame in needing help. We all do at some point or other. People are there who want to help. Accepting assistance with grace is an important lifeskill to learn.
Then, later, when you are set up and going, you can pass it forward to someone else who is in need of help.

Whiteraven,

very well said, and I concur fully.

whiteraven thank you I will certainly check this website as tomorrow i can't today becuase my time is almost up will they be here tomorrow you didn't have to go through all this trouble for me. Really i feel like everyone is focusing on me well. umm....now i am shy. and for the first time today i feel like smiling.

you know what never mind i will just print them out. Thank yo so much and god bless you.

I feel like people care i really feel like people care about me. God its such unsual feeling

I know that your mother cares about you, her just giving you the space you need to here is proof. I tend to jump all over my son's posts, I'm trying to take a page out of your mom's book and learn to step back and give him some space.

We care because you care the whole basis of a support forum is that you have to show support-which you do very well, to get support.

Your doing a great job Michelle and we appreciate the hard work and thoughtfulness you put into your posts.

Cherity
