i know shes doin them but how do i tell her i know

Hmm thats tough to answer. If you are close enough to her then I would confront her about it. But if you think she might get angry or alienate you then I wouldn’t confront her bluntly.

Maybe try and find where she hides the stuff - I know it’s snooping- but make an excuse like I was looking for -whatever- and I found this. And ask her if she “knows” anything about it. Kinda play dumb and see what answer she gives you.

If she lies then I would confront maybe a close friend of hers and tell them your concern, maybe they can help.

My mom is hooked on these diet pills that are like speed, she smokes, hardley eats and hardley sleeps. She had the pills sent to my house and I confronted her about it. She probably still does them but at least she knows my views on it.

i think that if want you mum to be honest with you then dont confront her and put all of the blame on her,people do drugs for all sorts of reasons it could be her past or something else that she is hiding from whatever the situation, show your mum that you love her and that you are ready to talk about it when she is. Because trust me from personal experience you dont want to make them feel even worse than they probably already are.
