My mom is so drug dependent that I feel like she’s taking the easy way out of parenting?

I am on anti-depresants, anxiety meds, A.D.D. meds, acne medicine, pain killers for my shoulder, sleeping pills, birth control, and antibiotics because I’m just getting over a virus. I am only 17 and it seems like instead of being a good parent my mom just pumps me full of drugs and calls it good. I grew up in a house where it is yes mam or no mam, yes sir or no sir, so I am not capable or allowed really to tell her about it but I’m losing my mind.

Hunny I have add, anxiety, depression, birth control and sleeping pills. I live in a very strict house hold. If you really feel like the meds are wrong for you YOU HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING otherwise it could affect you very negatively. I found that having a counselor helps alot if you need to talk further email me! Chels_mann@yahoo.com
your mom is not being a bad mother she probably just doesn’t know how to deal with those types of problems. try not to be upset with her!
It sounds true that you maybe on too much medication, however, you never specified your background. There may be very logical reasoning’s behind the medication you now take. To me I am a firm believer that the majority of parents do the best they can, parent the way their parents did or what they believe in their own minds is what’s best for you. But let me give you a positive side note too. It sounds like she is very concerned for your well being. I mean lets go down the line here. 1. She is concerned you may get pregnant and ruin your young life 2. You got a virus and she immediately took care of that 3. You must have some sort of mental diagnosis because a mother wouldn’t put her child on SPEED if she was trying to pump them up to shut them up. Let me explain this, if you are on ADHD medication as you claim, if you are truly not ADHD and you take this medication it’s the same effect as snorting cocaine but instead of a thirty minute effect it’s a twenty four hour effect. You need not to look at the glass half empty, but half full and appreciate some of the things your mother is doing. I think sometimes teenagers don’t understand the decisions that parents make.
