same thing. Her mom has been a tweeker/crack whore for all of her life. I nand out of prison, albeit she did not abandon them at a bus stop, she still abandoned them for -/prositution. Do NOT(!!!!!!) let this woman come live in your home. It NOT get better! My best friends mom has so times begged to come back, has stayed in half way houses, gone to therapy, and always, ALWAYS she still goes back to. It breaks my besties heart every time, and her. This last time she even went to of, got assigned as house supervisor, did so well for about 3 months, and then out of nowhere, wham she was gone again. It just does not change. She was in prison for 9 years due to -/prositution, when she got out finally, she stayed clean and sober for 4 months, on New Years, she snapped and it started all over again. I have been dealing with this for 16+ years with my best friend, and the routine just simply never changes. She cry, plead, swear to the this time be better, and does it change? Does it get better? No I'm left with a miserable, crying best friend who is heart broken. It drives me crazy!! So, the simple answer is no, do not help her. Let her help herself before she can ask for someone -'s help.
