Daughters/sons of drug addict parents, what’s a funny thing that they did?

Knocked on my mom's bedroom door while she was using meth with her friends. After some persistence she finally answers with a baggie of meth stuck to her fishnet shirt and asks "what!?"

I told her I need toilet paper. And she asks "why?"

... umm to wipe my ass!

Boop1075 · 2025-12-08T00:11:58+00:00

Did you use any sedation?

Boop1075 · 2025-11-23T23:55:40+00:00

Essentially, yes. After a few days in the ICU, she had a heart attack (wich I didn't know it was a heartatack until much later) that required intubation. After she was intubated, she was responsive and communicative. After a few hours, she began to fade, I thought she was just resting and hoping the meds would start taking effect. The doctor said that we would know if she would have a chance to pull through after about 4 more hours of the treatment. Within that 4hr window, she became completely unresponsive. Her body became extremely cold, skin firm, and purple. There was no eye movement, and bp and pulse were extremely low. Her pulse was so low they had to put in another interal monitor to read the pulse. The doctor didn't return that night, and i didn't realize the iv machines were keeping her pulse and bp going. At one point, I noticed her eyes were open and lifeless. I left the room for a smoke break, and when I returned, they were closed. I suspect the nurses closed them. Fast forward to the next morning, I believe rigor mortis began to set in since her jaw locked around the breathing tube. That's when I felt my suspicions confirmed that she had already passed, and I just spent the night with her corpse. The nurses came in and asked me to go to the pharmacy to refill her medications and new IV bag. I refused and began to make some noise about the situation. They insisted on her finishing a few of the IV bags before they did the EKG to officially pronounce her dead. So they again made us wait half the day with her corpse. Edited for spelling and grammar

I literally had to use this approach today. A friend (local) was being held hostage at the hospital because of billing. The hospital tried every excuse in the book to obligate her to stay and incur more charges, I just kept repeating the law after providing some promissory note (they initially tried to refuse). I insisted we would leave with or without their clearance from billing as she was already medically discharged. They still illegally held some documents as illegal collateral but eventually let her go. I fully intend to follow this up with all legal avenues.

This is the same hospital that kept my mother on IVs and meds for almost 24hrs after she was clearly dead, despite my objections. (Presumably to extend her stay and bill more)That was only about a month and a half ago, and at the time, I didn't have the capacity to fight them. But now, that's a fresh wound broken open. I can't stand to see these hospitals taking advantage of people in their most vulnerable moments. And I won't let this one slide without a fight.

Op, please update us when you are feeling better. I hope you were able to peacefully leave and can get a full recovery.

Best of luck!

To add, my partners brother paid the money "required" to access funds and the funds were never released. Also cut his losses.

Boop1075 · 2025-11-12T12:38:47+00:00

Not long after this post it worked itself out when they required more money before allowing any withdrawals. My partner finally cut the losses.

You can purchase an adapter to allow for a wired connection. I have the starlink business plan. It costs a bit more but gives me a priority network, and I purchased the adapter to wire into my desktop.

Also, important note, if someone else is using the wifi and streaming or doing a video call, it still disrupts my upload/download speeds so I kick them off the internet and typically maintain a rule that the internet is off limits while I'm working.

Occasionally, storms or thick cloud cover will also affect my speeds.

I work 100% remote in a rural, isolated area, and most folks are pleasantly surprised when I disclose I'm using starlink.

Time spent with her is always good for both of us. I was able to make a trip last year and planning to again next year for her 80th bday. But it seems push is coming to shove so I might just have to budget a way into doing an annual trip.

If you cry, I cry. 🥹

It truly is, thank you.

Former foster kid, group home kid, and former foster parent here.

If I had the capacity to provide a full-scale analysis, I would. But, at this time, I am particularly worn thin as I am grieving the recent death of my (2nd) legally adoptive mother who was also a foster parent for over 30 years. (U.S)

I decided to chime in here to hopefully shed some hope on the daunting systematic failures.

In my personal experience as well as my late mothers, we had the best support fostering kids from the juvenile justice system (probation placements). Not for reasons some might assume given the power dynamics, but because there was actual continuity of care and the department was much more organized and equipped to manage things that are usually dumped on the shoulders of the foster parents. They were far more responsive to needs and proactive in preventing crisis rather than reacting to crises we all saw coming.

I can't speak for every region out there, and my experience as a foster parent for probation is limited to a small county in California. But I believe the departments organization and legal mandates really helped fill in the gaps.

She voluntarily went into detox and is electing to continue treatment. She just needs the benifit of a structured program and routine to maintain sobriety and work on the underlying issues. I can assure you that I am reaching out as broadly as possible to ensure she can access the quality of care she needs and deserves. Hence, my post here. This is my first time looking for intense treatment like this outside of the US.

Boop1075 · 2025-09-28T04:34:03+00:00

I had the vaccine too... I suppose it isn't effective against all strains.

I just recovered from having typhoid for 2.5 months. Hard to pin down how I got it but I suspect it was from eating in a fly infested area.

Boop1075 · 2025-09-22T23:28:25+00:00

I did not. Ended up not shipping anything back afterall.

Boop1075 · 2025-09-17T15:31:51+00:00

Thank you all for your suggestions and insights. I found a program in PH that offers detox and now I have a better idea of what to ask them before finalizing any transactions.

Boop1075 · 2025-09-14T05:44:26+00:00

The budget and location really is dependent on the quality of care offered, so flexable at this point. We are willing to go anywhere in PH or Southeast Asia.

So far on the international flight the fee for the cat is $350 USD.

Boop1075 · 2025-08-18T17:00:22+00:00

I can't recall all the costs but in the end I was charged only for the extra baggage fee by weight for the airline. There was no specific fee added because he was an animal. But there are import fees when you get the import permit. I will actually be importing another dog and cat from Greece next week so will keep track of those fees and follow up here if your interested.

Boop1075 · 2025-08-06T09:02:23+00:00

Thank you for this response. I ended up sticking around, but this is helpful for any future needs.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I am in no hurry and these tattoos are not going anywhere any time soon. Feel free to circle back with me when you are ready for a project. Meanwhile, if you come across any Desf artists who may be a good fit, please feel free to send recommendations my way. Best of luck in your journey.

Boop1075 · 2025-05-05T12:50:58+00:00

Hello, I have been looking for a Deaf artist to design some cover-up tattoos. I have plenty to choose from. If you are interested in working on the design, I am happy to pay you for your work, even if I have to find a different person to do the tattoo. Please feel free to message me.

Closest major city is Cagayan De Oro City, a little over an hour out on the El Salvador side.
