My mom is currently addicted to Meth... how can I put it through her brain that she needs to stop before she dies? (she claims she doesn't do it anymore) But you can totally tell when someone is on Meth

Im sorry for your situation but you cant convince her to quit no matter how hard you try. She will only be able to quit when she decides she is ready to.

I've heard that is a very powerful addiction. The best thing you can do is take care of yourself and try not to let the mistakes and behavior of others affect how your life turns out. Until she admits to her addiction, I don't think there's anything that can be done.

I have been down that road. The love and support of a family helps more than anything.
-
The only one who could really help her is herself. Until she's willing to do that, then you can't really do anything about it. I'm sorry..

Move in with her? I haven't been there so that is all I can suggest
-

I've been through the same thing, only with perscription drugs, and while people don't like to say it, I'll tell you the truth. 1-She is a drug addict, She will lie to you at will. She will not only lie to you, but she will spin a world of lies, lies that you would never believe, to get her drugs. 2-She is beyond help in most states, she will most likely continue to do the drugs until she dies, I would suggest you distance yourself 3-In most states she needs to check herself into a rehab center of her own free will, and not only this, but most rehab centers will not take her past 10 days (not enough to get clean even remotely) because of insurance companies. In this time, I've taken a page from my step father "Jesus only helps those who help themselves". I'm an atheist, but this makes sense, she isn't willing to help herself, and if she wont try, than you can't help.I've been through this with my own mother, I frankly hit the road and left her to her own devices, I would suggest you do the same.

I am currently going through the same thing with my mother. She was arrested this last weekend. The first time she had ever been in trouble in her entire life, so she got out easly. She says she is going to change. I hope so. You and your mother will be in my prayers.

Tell her you want your old mom back. Remind her of your past good and especially funny times together. Show her your emotions of how sad you are now and that you still need that old mom. Do this in a one on one situation like driving home in the car. My son did this to me. It wasn't instant-but his words "I want my old mom back" stuck in my head and led me back. Its a hard thing to kick. Its even harder when its your own child telling you you've got a problem. They've already lost respect for you-you feel there's no way back-go to her with your problems-show her you need her. Believe in her-never give up on her.
