text: i think my mom might be doing drugs. what should i do? she goes out everynight..and comes home drunk. most of the time shes in her room. but i never know what shes doing. and when she comes out. she doesnt act like herself. wow.  scary.  from what you said it does sound suspicious.  i'd first talk to any relatives/her friends (hopefully in confidence) to see if they have noticed anything.  if so, do an intervention. there are mediators for that.  ask a church leader or a private org like narcotic or alcoholics annonymous.  i'd do all that before getting authorities involved - that would be a last resort.  don't give up and never ever blame yourself. children of drug/alcohol abusers often do.  don't fall into that trap.  best wishes to you.  be strong.
