Mom's in rehab
    #13031254 - 08/10/10 11:28 AM (13 years, 6 months ago)

A few days ago I found out that my mom turned up in rehab about 2,000 miles from the last address I had for her. I'm not too sure how that happened but I was told that her sister is involved. I'm pretty happy about this because my mom has been living alone for a few years but she's not really able to do a lot of things for herself so it's good that she's near family now. She's had a disability since she was in high school and takes prescription painkillers for it. She got addicted to those and eventually got prescriptions for xanax/klonopin/ect as well, which she also has problems with.

She's been in rehab a few times before but it's never done much because she does actually need pain meds for her disability and I guess it's too hard for her to only take one or two of them when she has a whole bottle and knows her doctors will give her more whenever she asks. She doesn't think she actually has an addiction and just blames her doctors for "screwing up her medicine" when she has to go to the ER after passing out, hitting her head, and having a seizure.

Is it bad that I think this rehab thing is kind of a waste of time? I'm glad that she's near her sister now but my mom has been a wreck for as long as I can remember and I don't think that's ever going to change. She lost custody of my younger siblings and has no visitation with them because of the pills and if that didn't make her realize that she's got a problem I don't think being forced into rehab for the dozenth time will. Am I being too pessimistic about this?

Also, I want to send her something in the mail. She's too far away to visit but getting a package out to her wouldn't be hard. This is the first time I've found out she's in rehab while she's actually still there; all the other times I've only heard after she got out. What sort of stuff would be useful to send her?

a card telling her you love her and hope she gets through everything and you support her. probably would mean more than any kind of thing. books/music would also be good tho
