I think my mother is buying drugs with my money. She's divorced, unemployed, and generally in a bad place right now. Every so often, she'll sleep all day and then ask me quickly for some cash. I'm suspicious for a few reasons. Whenever she asks me this, she's always in some sort of frenzy, even when there's no reason to rush. Also, I know she's currently trying to get over an addiction to pills outside of this, and I wouldn't be surprised if these moments are relapses.
What do you think, /adv/? Should I refuse next time?

she is definitely on drugs
you should get a safe and lock up any valuables you have. she will steal them otherwise
also you should move out. your possesions and sanity are at risk. you cannot help an addict, they can only help themselves

Ask what she wants instead of giving her money so you know it's being spent on what she needs instead of on more shit.

I don't have much of worth, and she's never shown any signs of kleptomania before. Seems out of character.

The first time, she said it's to pay the internet bill. This time it was $5 for gas. And there was another time that I forgot. In total, she's now $35 in debt to me. I'm thinking the wisest thing is to tell her I'm uncomfortable with how much she's taking and refuse unless it's an emergency.

...while you might have legitimate reasons to think your mother's doing drugs, but $35 isn't going to score much of anything dude.

How old are you OP? Do you have a steady source of income that would warrant your mother asking for money?
>>
>>18460209
my man, $35 wont get her shit.

I agree with you dude. $35 won't get very much generally but you could easily buy 15 pills with that depending on what you get. Ex: I know you can buy adderall for $3 a pill and Xanax for $4 a pill assuming you don't get ripped off.

I'd think OP's mom would be asking for larger sums of money instead of asking for $5 for gas so she could get 1 pill.
If she's an addict, it'll take more than 1 for her to really feel like she's enjoying it. I think OP's mom has other issues at work that need resolved.

Hope you're right, I know nothing about drugs.
>>18460244
I'm 18, a part-time worker about to go off to college.

Do you know some definite signs I could look for to figure out whether or not she might be using it for drugs?
