So for the last couple years I’ve been letting my mom and brother stay with me essentially rent and bill free. My rationale was that my youngest brother is in college and I wanted him to focus on school, and my mom is a recovering addict and trying to get her life together. My mom used to have a pill addiction but has been clean since rehab, or so I thought anyway.

She’s been acting pretty strangely lately, going back and forth between having insane amounts of energy and then sleeping for like 18 hrs at a time. I’ve started going to the psychiatrist again and feeling better so it’s a lot more noticeable since I’m not so focused on myself. Long story short, she stole some money and seemed to be hiding something from me, so I searched her room and found some pipes and a baggy with residue that I’m pretty sure is meth.

I’m honestly having a break down. I don’t know what to do. I know she’s sick but this isn’t the only time she’s stolen from me and I’m in the hole because of it. I don’t feel like I can stay here knowing all this but my mom doesn’t have a job or anything, and even if I do leave there’s a ton of work to do if I wanted to move. I’m just barely crawling my way out of a 6 month depression and this happens. I’m just tired of all this. I spend my life anxiously waiting for the next kick in the face life decides to throw at me, and I’ve never once been wrong. I’m tired of being kicked, just let me rest.
