Question: My parents do drugs and how do I get away from it?
Answer: Depending on the state, for a child whose parents are not willing or able to care for him or her, a dependency petition may be filed. Some states also allow for a child to request emancipation (Arizona does not allow this). In Arizona, a private person or government agency can petition for dependency. Contact your state's Child Protective Services agency to obtain more help.

my mom has always done drugs.... i never see her and its not like she does it infront of me or makes it obvious. She is extreammly depressed and just got married for the 4th time in her life. Shes only known this guy for 2 months and shes letting him into mine and my sisters life. my aunt said she caught them smoking pot together. but the whole situation is *hush hush* if i siad anything to anyone , i would get in so much trouble and be guilt tripped. I dont know how to handle all the stuff that is going on and i have no where to turn.

hi my dad is doing drugs, he wasn't in my life for 11 years, he didn't hardly even come around cause either he was in jail or in some classes to get him back on the right track. But it didn't work so my mom desided to get him a second chance with me for all those times he wasn't there and for promising me that he would but he didn't call me i had to call him. I just wish he could stop so now he is back on it and my mom is going crazy. But on the other hand I don't want my little sister to grow up in that she is only 2 years old and she doesn't even understand why my mom is cryin

my parents were on drugs...i havent lived in a stable home for more than 6 mo all my life.i ran away... spent alot of time at school and with friends,but nothuing helped. the only thing you can really do untill your old enough to get out of your house...is remeber how much it messed with you. if your so against your parents doing drugs, try to be the stronger person...and make life better for yourself. as long as you know that that life style isnt the RIGHT way to live...than youll be ok.
