I Do Not Know What To Do

Early this morning I finally broke down to my parents asking for help. I told them about my addiction, how I'm going out of my mind and I need their help. I don't know what I expected exactly. Deep down I knew they would react how they did. My dad is angry and won't talk or look at me. My mom cried and doesn't seem willing to speak to me either.

It's nearing 7:30pm here and I've hardly heard them speak to me all day. I have no clue where we go or stand from this point.

I probably went and destroyed the family. Watch they'll probably file for divorce and kick me out. Their marriage has been rocky for years anyway. I just don't know anymore. Who knows maybe I'll be disowned and won't have family anymore either.

Steady, there. Give them a little time to process the information. There are a whole lot of emotions that result from that kind of information. Fear for you, anger at you for getting involved with an illegal and dangerous substance. Anger at themselves for ignoring signs they should have seen. Where did we go wrong?

They may well come around when the dust settles. If they don't, go immediately to a drug-counseling center and find a way to check yourself in for treatment. In a lot of states, what you can't pay is subsidized out of monies funded for that purpose.

Checking into rehab will show your parents you're serious, and they may stabilize then. And checking into rehab will help answer 'where will I go if they throw me out' for a while.

If you need some help finding resources in your city, PM me and I'll do what I can. You're on the right road. Don't let yourself get detoured.
