Answers: My Daughter who is 24 is on drugs and she wont listen to me what do I do?
Unfortunately, the only way I found I could help my husband was to turn my back on him. I threw him out (although he was very violent to me and the kids, so there was no option really) and made him get help for himself before I'd have anything to do with him. It was a hard slog, because drug users don't want to admit to themselves they've got a problem - I had to get an injunction against him, and a residence order on my son when he tried to snatch him.
But it did work eventually - it's now been 15 months since he went near cocaine, and fingers crossed we've beaten it.
Good luck with your daughter, let us know how it turns out. x
unfortunetly you can't unless they want to.
All hope is lost I would say - you just gotta hope she wisens up. Drugs get a hold & before you know it they destroy people. My husband is a drug treatment officer in prisons - he could put you in touch with some people that could help maybe?
It's exactly the same as alcoholics. You can advise as much as you like but they just won't listen. They see you as an enemy in their life when really you are just trying to love and care for them. I have a friend who has this problem in his family, it is so soul destroying.
Take the same drugs, then you talk the same language.
I just *know* I'll get lots of thumbs down for this one. :~O
From experience I've found you can't help them,
Unless they want to help themselves just be there.
Thank you,
And the very best of luck :) xx
You're obviously a loving and caring mom.
abandon them get on with your own life worked for me with my brother he is inside army nick now no drugs there
Support her don't make it an issue she is an adult you will end up driving her away if it becomes the be all and end all
I had a brother on meth for years, I did everything I could think and talk til I was blue in the face..One day,, I told him I am washing my hands of him. I didn't go around him again for a couple of months. To my surprise,, he was off the dope and going to church regularly and doing really well. I don't know if I had anything to do with it but you might try it..It won't hurt.
Try to bring her to a psychologist. If she still didn't stop, bring her to rehab. You'll really need to do that. Ask her why is she doing that. If you can help her about her problems, help her.
my brother in law was into drugs and one day my kids were round the inlaws and these blokes stormed into the house looking for him,knocked one over.i went mental and kicked the living daylights out of him.he bucked his ideas up and joined the army,where he has just served 9 months in iraq.he is a totally different person now,and i take my hat of too him for turning his life around.
You cant help those who dont want help!
depents what drug, and also depends on your approach and attitude.
In most cases, jumping in with a lecture or more will push them away from you. Embrace them and at least try to understand where their head is at before trying to get through.
Only by cutting off the supply of drugs
you can pray for her.
I don't think there is an answer that works in everyone's case.
I have a friend, Roberta (not her real name), who quit heroin when she found out she was pregnant, and hasn't used in 3 years.
But then, I have another friend, June (not her real name), who is only 24, has 6 kids, and can't keep custody of a single one for more than 3 weeks because she keeps going back to using after quitting for a short time.
I had a very close friend in high school, Emma (not her real name), who started using heroin right after she graduated. She got pregnant and used for her entire pregnancy. Her son came out deformed...he is now 7 and severely handicapped. Emma OD'ed and died 5 years ago.
Honestly, I think that if your daughter is on heroin, the only way to get her to quit is to force her into rehab, and when she gets out, move her across the country if you have to, to keep her from her old friends and old habits.
don't bother, she has learning difficulties, all drug users are unemployed and always will be
