Battle begun.. but was I wrong?
First post here.. hello all.
To start, I am the daughter of a prescription drug addicted mother. She has been addicted for at least the last 10 years.. maybe longer, but I'm just not sure at this point.
I just cut off all communication with my mother. She considers me to be her world (at least that's what she says). My brother doesn't have anything to do with her. My uncle (my mom's brother) and his wife just kicked her out of their house where she has been living for the past 4 years. She has no one. Our family is well aware of her issues, and everyone has tried to help.. with no success. I got her into detox approx. a year ago, but when she got out of there, I was unable to find an inpatient rehab facility to place her in.
What I'm scared of is that we just laid this all on her two days ago. We did this without an interventionist. She was escorted out of her home by a cop and an ambulance and taken to a hospital because she was high, and falling down, and just had back surgery.
I need to know if anyone else has had a family intervention without an interventionist with similar circumstances. I feel like we may have handled it wrong, and I'm scared. I'm scared for my mom. I know she needs to hit rock bottom, but I'm afraid of what will happen.
I just need someone to relate.
