Man, I cant think of a worse feeling. I am so sorry you have to be the adult. The deal is ADULTS dont go around kickin ass, they find solutions to live with. Juvie wouldnt get you anywhere, and thats the only place violence will take you, it wont solve your problem, although I do understand it may make you feel better at the moment.
I used to be a foster parent and have seen this crap up close and personal, I truly wish you the best.
Thats why men and women are different 40 posts of mindless violence from men then a female comes along and says something that makes more sense.Quote:

That should get the message across...hopefully.Quote:

I don't think anyone would blame the dealer if he was a 40 year old half dead man cooking meth on his P.o.S. stove in his trailer.Quote:

Since you're teaching us basic supply and demand skills ((in a very assholish manner I should add)) I'll teach you some basic math skills.
COUSIN - METH = MOTHER + METH
COUSIN + HANDLING_THE_SITUATION = MOTHER - METH
If his mom doesn't have any other place to get meth than his cousin who is clearly willing to take advantage of anyone ((including family)) for personal gain, than stop the cousin from dealing the meth to his mother. It could be a simpler solution for kid taking care of his mother than trying to put her in rehab so that he can end up in a foster home.
Or did you not think?
:)
But it isn't a child's job to take care of a parent like that. They don't have the capacity to. If this isn't her first time using then obviously something didn't work out the first time she quit. Get her somewhere that has experience dealing with addiction.Quote:

My "assholish manner" was directed at the guys advocating beating people with baseball bats. Otherwise I think it is a sad situation that should be handled by professionals.
Your right I suppose, at least in the sense that it's not a child's place to take care of his parent. Sadly, this is already the case with him. I think it's better he take care of his mom than have someone with no love for him taking care of him.. especially since he's already had to fill those shoes, it becomes hard to take them off. ((it's hard to take away a person's freedom when you've already given it to them))
As for a dealer never turning down a customer, that's why people here are advocating baseball bats ((though too extreme)) because when the cousin realizes that he will be beat within an inch of his life if he ever sells to the kids mom again.. he'll learn how to turn down a customer with money.
He said his mom was mentally ill, and she has a kid. Everyone may go home happy initially, but the kid will not be happy. And professionals don't know how to handle situations like these sadly, I'm not sure anyone really does though. In most cases they just remove the child from the inadequate parent even if she was loving. This is a big mistake in alot of cases. They should impart help and stuff like that for the parent, but not just remove them from the kids life as too often happens. ((okay I can't really say too often, but this is what happened to my friend dan when his mom and step dad got caught making meth in their truck. He was forced to live with his real dad and not see his mom, and while his real dad isn't a meth-head, he's an abusive drunken asshole living in a dirty 1 room apartment.. dan was doing alot better with his meth addicted parents.))
Anyway, violence probably isn't the solution, I'll give you that. There's probably a way to find the same results without it anyway. Threatening to rat him out could do the trick, and teling him that if he does anything stupid he has friends who are all willing to rat on him as well.
I just think the cousin needs to lose a customer.
professionals? fuck that shit i am the mo fuckin' professional, and i thank everyone who replyed to my post.. it is now 11:01am i have just woken up, and now to start my day of smoking weed and beating up crackheads = )Quote:
