Concerned
 

Today my step daughter came home sick from her mother's house when I asked what made her sick she told me the smell in mommies house. I asked her to elaborate. She told me that it smell like the smell that comes from a local metal fabrication factory in our town when they are melting the metal. She said that shortly after the smell started that mom started drawing on herself and the walls she even went outside and colored the house with sidewalk chalk. Smoked 4 packs of cigarettes and wouldn't eat. Should I be concerned about mom using drugs if so what drug could it be.The only drug I have ever been around is marijuana and it definitely didn't smell like melting metal.

Not sure if it matters what drug. She's drawing on herself, the house. Demonstrating bizarre behavior. Are you allowed over there? I'd check things out before you sent your step daughter back.

Hmm. Strange, metallic smells followed by bizarre behavior. Doesn't sound so good. I'm with doggone carl..maybe go check it out?

No I'm not allowed over there at all. She and I DO NOT get along the last time I went over to pick up the kids for my husband she actually called the cops on me.

Another thing I called CPS today because of it and they said if I wasn't aware of what drug it may be how could I say it was drug related.

Is your husband aware of this and can he go check it out?

Whether or not it is drug-related, it IS bizarre behavior and reason for concern. Any history of mental illness?

good job calling cps when children are involved I have no time for sympathy children will always come first

I think you have the right to ask what she is using.
