he said shes been throwing up and having seizure like symptoms please tell me what this is and what i can do to help her. she is 37

It seems your mother is a drug addict & needs to check into a drug rehab program........obviously she has problems & is doing drugs to run away from her problems, whether its normal stuff like a family (which is never a problem) but to her, its too much pressure.

She needs help......ask your grandfather if he can help her with getting clean.......you obviously care about her & that's why you're here asking for help.

Good luck & God bless.......

It could be a number of things causing her these symptoms. It could be effects from discontinuing drugs but it sounds like you're not living in the same home. Even if you were though, I doubt she would be forthcoming in revealing her drug(s) of choice. Your only way to have an idea what she's taking would be if you were to stumble across drugs or any paraphernalia.

You mentioned bipolar runs in your family and it does in mine as well. Personally, I would not want my loved ones to know what drugs I was using. I don't think it's exclusive to me or mental health issues, more I didn't want to admit I had a problem. Communication is key, try and get her to open up if you can. Like TheLostBoy said, get your family involved so she can get some help.
