Well, Where to start? I’ll start somewhere and work from there. I used to be 300+lbs when I was 17 years old. I started hanging with a bad crowd, got hooked on Substance abuse at an Early Age. After some Family Issues left me homeless for some time. Maybe a couple months when I was couch hopping until My step-father helped back on my feet. I started to Lose a lot of Weigh over a couple year period. I got down to 169lbs at age 20. And now I have Loose skin, stretch marks etc. from the weight Loss. And the drug abuse and Over eating took it’s tole over the Years. I was heavily addicted to Cocaine for almost a Year when I was 17. And the acidity in the Coc rotted my top gum, and my teeth are all Messed up. My bottom teeth are all there, (Thank God). But on top, I’m missing both the teeth on the sides of the buck teeth. and my Right buck tooth too. I started smoking around 16 so that affected the state of my teeth and Gums. And where the teeth are missing, there are Stubs with a Black film on the Stub. Also the 1 buck tooth I do have is halfway rotted from the Gum line, and from the gum to where the tooth starts is Black like my missing teeth. Like my teeth are Eroding away. So I am always self Conchies of myself. I Rarely smile and ever show my teeth. And that’s not even all my problems. I skated for like 3-4 years, and was a God send because it helped me Lose all the weight I didn’t lose abusing cocaine. And i was fat so I wasn’t about to skate shirtless. (Probably would’ve caused some car accidents) And sweating profuciously without taking off the soaked shirt made my sweat Glands on my upper back and shoulders close up. I now have Cysts on my back that never turn into white heads and never get infected. They are skin-colored lumps that won’t go away. Pls Help somebody. I’ve actually Legitimately contemplated suicide few times. But I’m too rational to do that. I’m scared for my Health, I’m afraid my teeth being rotten is going to cause a Heart Attack or something. I don’t have insurance to see the Doc or a Dentist. Mind you I’m only 21, and I can’t get a GF right now even if I wanted to. It’s just hard having happy friends finding Love and Having kids. It just eats away at me every day. I have a job and work my *** off. And whenever I pronounce my words to much I know if my peers seen my teeth. Because I either get a Look of disgust or a Look of Pity, followed by them putting their hand over their mouth, wondering how miserable they’d be if they were me. And Only if they knew that even if I did spend all kinds of money getting my teeth fixed, I’d never get a Girl in bed because of the bumps on my shoulders and the Stretch marks and extra skin from Losing the weight. Even with Pearly whites, I couldnt wear a beater. Most of the time I wear 2 shirts so it’s not visible. Plz someone Tell me I’m not Alone. Because Everyone I know thinks I’m a bastard who Depressed all the time.

Is it ok for a Boss/Owner and worker to engage in “non work” activities?
Basically, I got my girlfriend a job working for a friend of the family who owns a restaurant and club. She’s 20 years old, hes 44. He now (after work) makes her cocktails and some days plays tennis with her and they do other physical activities. He also on certain nights invites all the employees to another club for drinks and dancing, again shes 20 years old…They “dance” but I have no idea of what goes on during this “harmless they say” dancing. This guy is an alcoholic and used to be addicted to cocaine, my girlfriend has a problem with cocaine and I’m really worried that this man is a bad man and to be giving drinks to a 20 year old girl and to be acting the way he does bothers me. My girlfriend never really had a father figure so I look at it from that stand point, but I don’t trust this man. He gets drunk every night to the point of passing out, and now, they are off together playing tennis, I feel left out. I got her the job, The owner was one of my best friends and now its just changed and Its hard to explain. What do I do?

I had an abortion about 2 1/2 years ago. At the time I felt it was the right decision because I was only 19, a part time job only, and the father had three kids already and just flat out didn’t care about me or my child. After the abortion I picked up a cocaine habit and was drinking a lot. I’ve since been to rehab for the cocaine and clean for 718 days.

My questions are…I don’t think i’ve really dealt with it and used the drugs to block it out…Is it normal for me to be grieving over it now? Should I try and get some counseling? Right after I had it, I’d have horrible nightmares of the procedure…sounds send me back to that day too….vaccum cleaners, blenders, etc (anything that makes a buzzing sound like a vaccum would.) Could this be Post Tramatic Stress Disorder?

Very crazy situation here guys, so embarrassed I created a new account to ask about it..

So I am a retail store manager first off and this all occurred during this past holiday season while I was working literally 80 hrs a week. With my new job and extra cash my children’s mom decided she should pick up cocaine! I had no idea this was going on until my daughter( cerebral palsy, epileptic, and 2 yr old) had to enter the ICU do to catching the Rhino Virus and “gingalla” or something to that effect.. She had lost a lot of fluid due to throwing up and such and was down from 22 pounds to 19 pounds. A know it all nurse that knew nothing of all of her conditions contacted CPS about her weight. Long story short though the nurse wasn’t far off though.. Turns out due to us having had a CPS case about 5 years ago when our son was born and we both still smoked pot they wanted us to submit to a drug test. Well we did and I passed clean, she tested positive for cocaine and meth’s. TUrns out so did out daughter and our son tested clean. With mom and me split and her in another state I asked my sister in law to take care of my daughter until I could arrange a home nurse. I was contacted last week by the investigator and told that if I brought my daughter back to the state CPS would take her AND her brother who is still here with me but that me and my son here and my daughter in the next state is fine.

How can CPS tell me that while I had no idea about her use since I worked from morning to night four months straight and had absolutely no drugs in my system and have shown to be a great father, I must either leave my daughter with my sister in law in another state or move me and my son up a state to reunite????

Is this legal? SHe said they have an affidavit sitting on the DA’s desk to do so if they find my daughter is back in the state..

My life seems like sh!t. Grew up without my father in the home. He was addicted to crack. My mother use to lock herself in her room and smoke crank all day. She would leave us at home for days. I started hustling and drinking when i was 10. By the time i was 12 i quit. Around 13 i started again and started smoking ciggies and weed. I was out and about. I started prostituting myself. My boyfriend was 26. I ended up hooking up with a younger dude who got me started on cocaine when i was 15. By the way some time in between time i quit prostituting. Been to jail about 16 times as kid. Quit everything for about a year. Got back on everything and haven’t quit since. Im in my mid 20′s now. Im married and have 1 child, no job. It breaks my heart to know that my husband talks to other woman. He doesn’t get hi on cocaine and rarely drinks. I think maybe because he pays every single bill or maybe because i use to be slim and now im unattractive and my drug abuse. He is my lifeline. I have been de-pendant on him since i was 16. I’m afraid my kids going to turn out like me and my husband mite leave me. My baby would go crazy, I will to. I don’t know what its like to live a normal life but i have to clean up before its to late…. So i guess my question is do you think i have hope and where do i start?

My husband is a disabled veteran. He has Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and this causes him to occasionally have seizures. His father and stepmother have threatened to try to gain custody of him after we were given a 6 month protective order against her yesterday. They have been trying to steer him towards divorce since last year when we had some problems. We have worked through these and are doing very well now. However, after court yesterday, I overheard them asking their attorney about filing for custody of him before they move to Florida in a few months. Both my husband and I know they just want his money and I’m standing in their way, since I have a clear head. In the past, my husband and I have separated for a few days on a couple occassions. They came to our house to “help” him while I was at a friend’s house and we were deciding what we wanted to do. They were there for 3 days and took over everything from booting him into the guest room to reorganizing with some of their own things. He was on the wrong medications at this time and as he says “very impressionable” and “easily steered”. His meds are now fixed, he is able to discern things for himself, and his family is desperate to push me away and take him from me. If they file for adult custody, what should we expect to happen? What do they have to prove to gain custody? Does the fact that yesterday he was granted a Protective Order against the stepmother make a difference? She and his dad stood up in court yesterday and tried to make me out to be a cheating, gambling drug abuser who spends all my husband’s money on crack cocaine. I do not and never have touched or even seen crack cocaine. We go to the casino maybe twice a year and play with $20 each just to have some fun. I have never cheated or put myself in a situation where I could be accused of being unfaithful. They basically tried to convince the judge that I am a danger to my husband and are trying to discredit my character. I take care of everything at home. I work, cook, clean, take my husband to his appointments, monitor his medication, and keep track of the finances. They say that by working, I am being irresponsible leaving him home alone. When I was staying home instead of working, they said I was taking all his money. I cannot please them no matter what I do. We just got my husband a dog to keep him company at home and help him avoid panic attacks which he has on occassion. Should I even be worried that I could lose him? The judge yesterday said he seems perfectly competent. Thanks for answering.

I go to a cheap clinic where I visit a nurse practitioner for most of my medical needs. I have been having problems with her. First off, she NEVER checks my chart before she ups and prescribes something. She prescribed me Vistaril, a crappy antihistamine, for my anxiety 6 months ago. I told her it did not do anything for me, and she has since prescribed the same thing at least twice. I mention she already prescribed that, she looks at the chart, and says “Huh, it’s right here on your chart.”

As we were talking about my anxiety issues at my appointment yesterday, she said that my anxiety may be caused by ADD/ADHD and asked if I had focus issues & what I did to manage them. I said I take pseudoephedrine with caffeine, and that has worked the best so far. She then got very serious and said that mixing drugs is bad, and I’m going to kill myself. Yes, over 30 mg of pseudoephedrine and 200 mg 0-2 times daily.

She asked if I do other drugs; I said weed. She told me my hallucinations were most likely caused by this.

She asked if I ever tried cocaine; I said twice. She then says that cocaine is very serious and causes seizures and started lecturing me on heroin (which I said I would never do). She told me to visit drugabuse.gov

She gives me a Strattera sample. I tell her that a couple friends had bad experiences and asked her if she was legally able to prescribe Ritalin/Adderall or something like that if it does not work for me. She says, “I will never prescribe you Ritalin. That’s for kids who bounce off the walls.”

She either did not read the Strattera material or did not bother to check my chart again, because one of the serious warnings is to not give this medication to people who may have heart problems, as it can result in sudden death. Last time I saw her, she prescribed a beta blocker due to high blood pressure, chest pains, and palpitations!

An hour after I took the Strattera, I had chest pains. My heart rate rose to 130 beats per minute, resting (normal is 80-90). I felt oddly numb but emotional. I had strange thoughts and heard voices. I google the side effects, and I am prone to most of the common side effects, and I was having 5+ of the “call your doctor now” symptoms. My boyfriend had to take off work to babysit me. It was terrible!

Today, I’m talking to a friend who says that the same NP prescribed his mother a medication that interacts badly with one she was already on. Several hours later, after she already took the medication, the NP calls and says not to move or do anything because her meds interact.

So what should I do about this? Who should I report her to? Her father is head of the practice, and I doubt that he will fire her.
I find it surprising that some people seem to think prescribing medication without looking at a patient’s history or current medications (especially when that information is right in front of you) is not doing anything wrong.

If I went to NA saying that I take normal doses of caffeine/Sudafed and smoke cannabis once or twice a week, I would likely be laughed at and/or pointed to the door. I have a 4.0 GPA; I’m not spending a lot of time/money obtaining drugs; my relationships are intact. Does this sound like an addict to you?

My ex and I divorced in June 2008. I was awarded primary residential parenting time, he got every other weekend. We both had joint decision making. He was a very bad alcoholic and he currently takes medication for anxiety.

He had good behavior up until September so I changed the parenting papers so that he had primary residential responsibilities, and I moved in with him, and his ex girlfriend. I did this because I joined the army and I planned on leaving our son with him for the 6 months I was in training. His girlfriend left him the weekend before Christmas, and he told me he had been using drugs with her. When moving her and her sister’s belongings out of the house I found needles, cut straws, burnt pieces of aluminum, and other drug paraphernalia. He told me he had done cocaine two weekends, then added he had also done methamphetamine every weekend for the first two months that I had been staying here. Later he changed his story back to just cocaine. He also has gotten over drunk several times, and even had to go to detox one night.

I can’t leave my son with him while I go to the army. I don’t trust him as a parent anymore. I want to leave my son with my father and his girlfriend who live in Nevada, but the divorce decree that we have states that neither of us can take the child from the state unless the other agrees, and he won’t agree to it. I don’t have money for an attorney, and I know it’s going to be a long uphill battle.

Any suggestions on what I can do?

After 3 years of Med Mgt (Focalin XR + other potential manic subs) by my Psychiatrist with no suspcion of Sub Abuse, based on one twitchy-sweaty (but not threating) anxiety/virtual panic attack with the new LCPC after the 4th visit telling me my mother was a shitty mother based on the brief single-mother absent father history in the first appt she told my Psychiatrist I was demonstrating signs of drug abuse (i.e. cocaine, meth…) My psychiatrist ordred a urine tox screen without hearing my side and said it was a liability issue. Who are these LCPC’s and what is their agenda? I was encouraged by my Psychiatrist that “she” is good and would enlighted me with cognitive behavioral therapy. So far some illegally photocopies(handouts) mom bashing and “imagine your father being who ever you would like him to be!” What the F is that? isn’t that deluding yourself? I have no fear of failing the Drug Test but what is with these Overa-optimistic FAnatics. LCPC says its nuture, Psych Nature.HELP!
Paired with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which has been widely embraced by mental health payors (ie insurance industry, health benefits management professionals) as a cost effective alternative to traditional psychotherapy because of quantitatively positive outcomes after roughly 25 sessions. Is it effective and beneficial or just a fixed cost panacea suggesting serious illness is now easily cured with 25 hours of repackaged self-help “mind-over-matter” “positive thinking” proctored by “Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors”?

So im 16 and a sophomore in high school and dont have the best time talking to people or doing things around a group of unfamiliar people. I CAN NOT read aloud, (like in class)because my heart starts to race whenever i have to and i get choked up, i guess you could call it a little panic attack.

I like to blame these things on my physically and mentally abusive stepfather whom my mother has divorced in the last year, she was with him for 11 years. He had PTSD from Desert Storm, former Army Special Forces, he was bipolar, cocaine addict and he had an abusive chilhood. He was verbally and physically abusive and had heavy mood swings, i think mainly because of the cocaine, there were many times where my mother would forgive him and he would say he would get better and then it would go back to being bad, even worse then before. He degraded me in front of my friends and always would tell me that i was shit and that i couldn’t do anything. Many times he would apologize for things he had done, but then turn around and do them again. My former stepfather also caused my biological father and most of our other family to slowly drift away from us. I really dont know what else to say…..

My brother in law at one time was like the brother I never had. He wasn’t always the best father to his 4 kids, but at least he was around. Over this past year, he got a job as a bartender at it’s gone far downhill from there. Long nights of pill abuse and cocaine have made him a shell of his former self. We see him when he needs money, or when he’s trying to steal something from us. Last night he showed up at my sister-in-laws home at 5am drunk/ stoned, making threats, as well as destroying and stealing some of her personal belongings. The police were called and a report was made detailing what went on. Unfortunately, the responding officer just happened to be a friend of the person I’m discussing (conflict of interest) and nothing productive came from it. I will be going to the police department in the morning with my sister-in-law to file another report with a new officer. The following is an actual quote from an officer at our local police department: “We are well aware that _____ _____ is using and selling cocaine, but there is nothing we can charge him with at this time”. I think that our best bet for him would be a forced rehabilitation through being arrested. I welcome any suggestions. This is a real problem for our family and we all want it to end the best way possible. Thanks

A quote from Obama book “Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,”

“I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though. …”

“Blow” is a street name for cocaine. “Smack” is slang for heroin.

Wow, he never did heroin, but cocaine? This is who you want running the country?
That is not making a judgment it is being real. People continue to get truth telling and judgement confused. But , yes people can “change”.

And, asum here is another quote ,while you are quoting the bible

If only they were wise and would understand this
and discern what their end will be!
Judgement:the ability to judge, make a decision, or form an opinion objectively, authoritatively, and wisely.
For asum here is the def. of judgement. I “asum” you don’t it.

Hi all
Really need some advice. My fiance and the father of my 4 year old has gone off with another woman. He has played with us emotionally, he has been violent towards us, he takes cocaine, drinks out of control etc etc. He has moved out, but only 300 meters away from me, and I have to see him with his new woman regulalry. Our son is getting very upset too – he has no contact with our 4 year old, due to his drug problems, leaving the children on their own etc etc. Claims he is chaning for new woman, but he has been like this for so long, I do doubt that.
Anyway, to the point – I actually got him where he is now – He was nothing when we met – I did his CV for him, helped him with all his interviews (admittedly I didn’t go to the interviews, he did do that bit himself)!! – but recently he got promoted and thats when our probs really started, as he had to be away from home alot. I am left with no money, no fiance, and children and a mortgage to pay for, I want him to pay for what he has done – if he loses his job, he will more than likely move away. He was sentenced to 25 years in jail in Peru when he was 25, 9 years ago now – but he only served 5 years, as his Dad managed to get him out – It was for smuggling cocaine. Can I somehow use the drugs and hte charges against him to get him away from me and stop him ruining the rest of my life. It is kind of revenge, but he has sucked me dry, I am not coping with things at all. He works for a large org in the UK.
Any advice??

Im only a 18 year old girl and kinda a goodie good girl and still in high school. i dont do any drugs or do any “bad”. And recently i meet my dads friend son who is 23 years old. First let me tell you about my dads friend. Hes a drug addict been to jail 7 times in his whole life was homeless for a while because he wanted drugs more then a nice life..oh also hes a cocaine addict.

ok back to my story so i meet his son a couple months ago who just got out of jail for drugs and stealing im not really sure. but ii meet him and i shorta like him. ive been told that he really likes (his father confuses me telling me to not hang around with him because hes a bad example then he tells me im a good influence on him lol). We hung out several times and hes a real “bad boy” it turns me on, he also takes me to really cool places like bars, parties and the city( part i never knew existed . I get scared alot when im with him cuz he hangs out with much older people than me. He takes me to bad places were theres bad people (robbers, rapist’s, etc) but he also protects me, makes me feels save. Often when i tell him, “im scared can we leave” he tells me “your my girls ill never let anything happen to you”

i saw him do cocaine once and he hit me (well just pushed me away real hard) but that was at the beginning of our relationship. I really like him but idk. He was in jail and that’s a big thing. I also know hes still doing drugs. Something he touches me (down there. you know what im talking about it) and it feels so good. and of course i moan and say i like it and he just sits there beside me watching kinda weired i always wonder why he does that and doesn’t expect me to do anything bad like return the favor. i told him i was a virgin and wanted to stay pure he was kinda upset but understood. one time he told me that he like that i was “clean” lol ( i heard that he had sex alot with girls before he went to jail).

idk what to do. Should i leave him or stay? We had a deep convo and he told me he was gunna change and everyday he saw my face he trys harder ( hes white if that matter). oh and we live in st.louis.. if that matters too! Once when we were cuddling he told me he wanted babies and to get married to me and have the “american dream” with me. hes a little obessive…lol

GGGGGGGGGGGrrrrr what should i do??. i think im in love with him too!

A couple of years ago I met this one girl. None like I have ever met before. Im not trying to be shallow or rude to all you women out there. But I simply only liked talking to girls on the internet to flirt and sext before I met her. Honestly it may just be karma hitting me back for the bad things I’ve done or something. So as I said I never had a real relationship before her. I dated around and stuff but not a real relationship. Anyways I was 16 when I met her she was 15 and needless to say I think we both had underlying issues with drugs and mental health issues. But it felt so real. Honestly good or bad she was alot of my firsts in life. She was my first love, the first person I tried ecstasy with, Lsd, shrooms and stuff. So maybe that attributed to me feeling so close. But she was the first girl I could have sex with that I didn’t wanna just say ok ill talk to you later afterwards and to make a long story short this summer I got on cocaine bad. And she did to. But her main drug issue was alcohol and anyways her father sent her to augusta georgia, well actually they moved down there. She was suppose to e coming back. But her father passed away. And anyways I couldn’t and still can’t get over her. I don’t know why its been sixth months, almost seven since I saw her last and we has falling out but both of us have quit drugs. And in november she started talking to me for no reason again. Telling me she wanted to come stay with me and whatever and now she will just randomly text me once in a blue moon. And then say sorry she got the wrong person. Basically what im asking. Is two questions. What does that mean, if she’s through with me why is she popping in and outta my life randomly? And also is this normal… we had been dating for a year and a half. I know everyone takes their own time. But is it out of the normal, that I still think about her everday and that I wanna get back with her… its been sixth months since I’ve had a face to face meeting with her?

I keep hearing “everyrhing happens for a reason for gods plan”. This may sound confusing…..my husbands sister lost her father 3 days ago to a heart attack. The next day my husbands uncles house burned to the ground losing EVERYTHING. Including 3 dogs. my husbands 7 yr old nephew ( husbands uncles grandson)accidently caused the fire. This morning the 7 yr olds father (husbands cousin) was found dead in his sleep. Most likely everyone is suspecting he overdosed on cocaine. I know it was wrong of him and his fault but he left behind his little boy and wife….to no home to go to since his parents house was burned down. Why would god allow so much tragedy and heartache w in 4 days. His family is devastated. They lost their faith and now I feel the only sane person to help them out. I dont know what to do. We live in ga and are flying out to texas at 3am

I met my best friend over 15 years ago (we are now 27). Several years ago she called me in a panic because her daughters father had taken all of their money to blow at a casino. She had no diapers, food, etc for the baby and asked for money. I western unioned her some money with her promising to pay it back. I never expected to get it back as I don’t loan money I cannot afford to never see again. To me, she was my friend and needed help.

I later found out from her mother, her father, her daughters father, and several mutual friends what she told me about needing the money was a lie. In fact she took the money to buy cocaine, dropped her daughter off at her mother’s and went to party for the weekend.

I immediately cut ties with her because I was so disgusted to me that she 1. Lied 2. Told me a lie involving her child.

Over the years she’s sent me various messages like nothing has happened. Such as how are you, I miss you, etc. I never responded. She’s also asked mutual friends to reach out to me and I advised the mutual friends to stay out of it. Recently she started sending me confrontational messages on FB like ‘ what the *insert 4 letter word* did I ever do to you, what is your *four letter word* problem etc. I finally responded to her that I was disgusted that she’d lied to , supposedly, her best friend and involved her daughter in the mess. That she never took responsibility for her actions nor offered me an apology and acted as if nothing happened. She doesn’t seem to understand why I am still upset about this. To reiterate, it was not about the money. It was that she lied to me and involved her daughter.

Should I continue to try to make her understand why I am so upset or is it best to let her send me crazy messages but ignore them? Ideally, I would like to meet with her in person to discuss this but she currently lives on the east coast while I’m on the west coast.

Remember Max Wright, the actor that played “Willy Tanner” on Alf?
The dorky family father with a friendly look, who loved to spend his afternoons playing with a long-bandwith radio, or fixing the tv alf broke?

Well, apparently, his career after that has not been so innocent. According to the national enquirer and many websites, he was found doing a crack-cocaine orgy with two homeless guys, and the whole thing is on tape!
I really, really, really hope this is a dirty lie against him, and not true. Otherwise, a nice childhood memory has just been ruined.

http://socialitelife.com/images/maxwrightforpresident8ew.jpg

I mean, he can do whatever he wants with his life. But hard drugs? with homeless guys?

I hope the guy’s alright.

I have no family.. I was abused by my step father and my mom still lives with im so i cant go home. I could go live with my father but he really doesnt give a crap about me. I was 5 when he left because he was doing drugs and told us that he didnt want to have a family and that he never should have married my momm. His guilt makes him feel obligated to help me but I feel no connection to him. My finace moved me out of my house and in with him when I was 19. I was trying to go back to school but having a hard time because my head was so messed up from my mom moving my sexually molesting ste father back into my house. I dont have any friends because i devote myself to my finace because he is the only one who really loves me. But he has a problem with cocaine, and he has been really good from everyday and not working to a steady job and once and a while he will be slip. Well he slipped friday didnt come home after work and blew his money out with his new friend. What should I do?

My husband’s brother has tried to commit suicide at least 3 times in the past year. He has been troubled since the death of his mother over 11 years ago. He started doing crack cocaine and has been addicted ever since. He has tried several support groups and has even been hospitalized with no success. He lives with a male room mate. His room mate went out of town 2 weeks ago for 4 days. My brother in law was by himself, but his daughter would come over to check on him everyday. When he is alone, he becomes extremely depressed and this is when the suicidal thoughts come about. He took an overdose of prescription sleeping pills. He left a note in his mailbox that he had overdosed. The carrier called 911 and the police broke the door down and found my brother in law unresponsive. He was in a coma for 5 days. Nobody notified my husband that his brother attempted suicide again. The only relative beside my husband is his daughter that my brother has around. My father in law is also troubled with addictive problems. He is an alcoholic. My husband took after his mother’s side of the family. He is nothing like his brother or father. He has a masters in business and is a successful manager. Who would the power of attorney be for my brother in law? Since my father in law is basically incompetent, wouldn’t my husband be his next closest relative? I am a former nurse aide and have worked with addicts in the past. I had specialized training for Alzheimer patients dealing with the psychological problems of these precious patients. I know that certain antidepressants can cause thoughts of suicide. Could my brother in law’s doctor be giving him an antidepressant that is causing these thoughts? Could my husband intervene and seek in treatment (hospitalization) to help my brother in law? If something isn’t done soon I’m concerned that I’ll be attending a funeral soon. Thank you.
