Help on a drug abusing mother..? - Addiction
| Help on a drug abusing mother..? My mother is addicted to cocaine. I didn't really know this until about two years ago when I was 17. My parents are divorced...It was nasty and happened when I was really young *about 7*. Of course, not knowing anything about my mother and her addiction, I believed everything she told me about my father - how he was an alcoholic and would beat her and all these horrible things.

After the results showed up, my mom started crying and ran to my sisters arms saying it wasn't true and blah blah.
