I have been going through spells of depression, fear of death, and lots of other stuff. This right here isn't really helping:

So, I got birthday money early, right? I was SO happy! Well, at some point, I returned to my depressing self. Today, my mom said, "I need your birthday money". I was reluctant. She said she was going to buy a cake, when clearly, my Aunt Joyce was planning a party already. I caved because I was half asleep.

She took a while. She's still not here. I can only know what she is up to about now.

She took my birthday money to do drugs. Tell me, isn't that something that'll get your goat? Cake..... suuuure. Cakes don't take half the day to get! Let alone my Aunt Joyce already has one!

I need to let this off my chest. I am so totally peeved right now.

The depression can be dealt with, it's part of life. Just talk to her, that's all I can really advise. Ask her if that's what she wants, for you to be unhappy. She'll realise that she has things to consider after that. I am sorry to hear that.

In my youth, I would take ten dollars to lunch every day of school. One day, a close friend asked of me to borrow money. I gave him half. The next day, he asked again, and I gave him five dollars once more. This continued for many months, but not once that entire school year did he eat lunch. I knew what he was doing with the money, but I never asked him, nor did I raise suspicions. Two weeks to graduation, I came home to what would normally be an empty house, to find him sitting at my kitchen table, crying. He told me what he had been using the money for, and related to me how terrible he felt about it, and how his life was in a bad spot that he couldn't get out of. He swore he'd get a summer job and pay me back every bit he borrowed. He did, and to this day I've never told him that I had known from the start what he was doing.

I know not what sort of person your mother is. If you think she's truly a good person, give her only support, and trust that she will come to her senses without need for confrontal. If that is not the case, then I have nothing comforting or advisory I can say. Just...try and help her. You'll never have another youth, and you'll never have another mother.

Wow, that was some very good advice. For the depression I suggest you find something that you at least find partly fun and do it. If you ever think of suicide just remember, that is the cowards way out. People who don't deal with their problems annoy me but that is not the issue today.

When your mom gets home just sit down and talk to her. Ask her where she was, and what she did with the money. If she doesn't want to talk about it don't force her. She will talk eventually. In all just keep at it.

I don't know. It doesn't seem like there is much you can do. She may put you off and put you off but never give up. I've seen terrible stuff happen to good people. I guess I could give you one example.

My sister. We'll call her Genie. She didn't do drugs, but she did smoke cigarettes under age to be cool. Soon she was totally hooked and it was too late. Two years later a few months after her 18th birth day my mom walked out on the porch to find her smoking...she got kicked out of the house. Needing somewhere to stay she moved in with her boyfriend, we'll call him Bill. She got pregnant. Now the only way she can support herself is finding crappy jobs and her lazy boyfriend steals from my house all the time. So far it's an Xbox, Surround Sound, Pizza Rolls, and two heads of lettuce plus maybe fifty things we don't know about. No I didn't add the lettuce for your amusement. Bill is on drugs and I guess he was hungry.

That's one of the things I've seen. But all I can say is never give up on her and I will pray for you. I'll pray for your strength and your mom's well being. You may not be a Christian but I believe that God is the only way at this point.

Thank you. Actually I am a christian.

Thinks are turning out for the better, now. Mom said yesterday was the lowest point she's ever dropped. She is committed to going to N/A so that's always good. She's not really a bad person, she just has a sickness.

Now I feel bad about moving out. My brother is all planning it and everything. I hope my mom won't think it's her fault. That it's just part of growing up.

Dude, you have to think about what is best for you. Your mom loves you, and she has to understand that for you to really be out and about and happy like a gadfly in May...you'll have to be on your own. She will get help, and you and her can be completely happy together. Remember, although you need to think about yourself at this point...Help your mom. Like you said, she is sick. Family is the best form of help.
