Should this mother get the same treatment?

It is proven she killed the baby by microwaving her she should suffer the death penalty.\nIf proven the baby already had a high temperature and the mother neglected her she should be given time and in addition ordered to seek out psychological help.\nIt's up to forensics and after that the judge.

Yes, but only if the mother is positive.

Yes you skinflint!\n\nForget legalities, do whats right by your son. You should want to support him and not leave it all up to his mother!

Yes. If she is threat to herself or others, she can be put in the hospital.

I would first talk with the professionals that are taking care of her. If they feel good that she is on the right track and is not a game player anymore. Then I would contact her and feel for myself. (the one thing I do know about Mom is that she can read me like a book) If I feel comfortable that she has recognized that she has an illness and  needs psychotherapy, medication and she is willing to go to a halfway house to adjust her new life...Then yes i would buy the gas and go to her new life graduation....

I wouldn't think so, she is just being petty.  Most parents would be happy just to have the help.  I hope it works out for you.

The problem is that mom is not constant on the training.  Unless she has been abusing him, that would be the only way she would "know" that it is happening.

Has she had a PET scan to try and find the primary cancer? If she has bone cancer that has spread from an unknown primary cancer then this is not a good situation. She has been given the radiation for palliative pain control in her bones and not as a curative treatment. Make sure her pain is treated properly as it will probably increase over time. Perhaps it is time to contact hospice or make other preparations to take care of your mother. \n\nHere is a good webpage about cancer of unknown primary so that you can better ask questions about treatment options of your mother's Drs. Make sure you have realistic expectations because there is no reason to make her sick from chemotherapy if the treatment will not produce remission or extend life span.  good luck\n\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/med/topic1463.htm

I have heard that she has cancer. I'm not sure what type but that is what has been going around. Whatever it is, I hope she gets better. That's seems like too much pain for a parent to bear.

I'd throw her a party. Invite all her friends she's been running me down to. Include my sisters. Then in front of all her friends I'd tell her EXACTLY how she treated me all through my life. How it made me feel to be laughed at wearing cloth shoes in the middle of winter. How everyone treated me when I'd show up for a school trip with nothing in my pocket.\n\nHow her phone calls affect my schooling and how I made something of myself in spite of how she tried to ruin my life. While it's true she is your mother, if she doesn't treat you with love and is always running you down, then it might as well have been a test tube. Family is more then the group you were born into, it is the whole loving environment.

more than likely the children will grow thinking \nA. this is acceptable behavior (since mom doesn't do anything about it)\nB. This is normal behavior (i.e everybody does it)\n\nMom needs to get her butt to closest battered womens shelter for some therapy

I would be very happy ( I think). I would also, however discuss with her as to what she wants. I f she wants to have it, i m all for that, but if she doesnt, I still would ask her to have it and let me take care of the baby. After delivery she would be free to go do whatever she wants.

This person has nothing to gain by taking more than prescribed. I wouldn't go looking for sysmptoms, I see a symptom, the abuse, and it is a clear sign she needs to get honest with her doctor if she really wants to get better.

Yes, I agree that it should always be illegal.  The number of cases where the mothers life is in danger is miniscule in comparison to when it is not.  I have been there and gone through with it.  I regret it.  A lot.  Thankfully, I have a Savior who is forgiving........

your mom is offering to help you!! she wants the best for you and is willing to do what it takes for you get treatment and life on back on track..she seems like a responsible caring woman so i would say stick with your mother even if it means getting kicked out of your house! its only because she loves you and until you figure out the consequences of your actions..then i presume she will keep doing it

It is a very upsetting topic even more so for me I just had a baby and to look at all the things that could happen to her while shes so little is a scary feeling but you have to look at it like this....if its gods will she can go at anytime no amount of medicine or making sure shes sleeping on her back or anything else can really change that .....but as a mother your going to go that extra mile and make sure that you do anything in your power to keep her safe anyway. We tend to not worry about anything unless it hits home insted of thinking of it in terms as we are all family and should help one another out..but people want what they want...spend there money how they want(and to be honest they should its theirs) but to show a little Compassion to someone else should be a bigger reward then that new DVD player or those $200.00 doller shoes but your only one person and your not going to change everyones mind so the best you can do it what you can do and teach your kids to do they same a little help is better then none at all......Is it fair...no...but then again life is not always fair to any of us...there rich people now who have money coming out their ass but still we see them commit suscide and kill others...who was there to help that indvisual? People should take care of people no matter who they are!

This is really really tuff!!! I was once in a similar situation. The mom decided to raise baby on her own however the out come was a beautiful child who is being raised by her now independent mom. You are not God nor are you blood family. What if you help her and she later tells her mom are you willing to risk the friendship you have with the mother.  What if you help her and something goes wrong? Your Friend will never forgive you. Tell mom and be there for both of them if they need help. Honesty is always the best way to deal with things. Problems are always bigger until out in the open where you can deal with them.  A MOM Myself.
