My Parents Smoke

[my65roses4me]

Along with a few other substance abuse issues my dad did in front of me growing up, he also smoked like a chimney too.
I know how you feel and how fursterating it can be.
He always wondered why I locked myself in my room 95% of the time. He used to get mad and get very angry with me that I never wanted to spend time with him and my mom in the living room. He just chalked it up to me being a bratty teenager. It was just a selfish way of living and nothing I did or said changed anything it only made it worse.

I did not have relatives that I could have moved in with.
Instead I waited out until I was 18. About four months after I turned 18 I moved out into my own apartment.
I later married and bought our own house. My dad came over one holiday and tried to smoke in my house. I just let into him and my mom have it!!! I told him that my house is not to be smoked in and he wasn't aloud to do any of his other bad habits that he so blatenly (sp) tried to do in my guest bedroom.

Since then I have had other outs with him and no longer talk to him. But shortly before I stopped talking to him he respected my rules because he had to.

My whole point about this is that unless you call CPS and get them involved, or move in with relatives, your only option is to wait until you are old enough to move out because they dont sound like they are willing to change, just like my dad never did.
Good luck to you! Do all you can for your own health!!!! I admire your maturity!!!

<u><b>No matter how you look at this issue, its child abuse!!!!!</b></u>

I feel for you. I hope you take Emily's advice and take action.

I would talk with your doctors first to let them know before you call. They need to know and be ready for any organizations that will be calling them to verify you have cf.

Stay STRONG and Fight for your health

Hi Audrey,

I'm so sorry your parents are doing this to you <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

I used to smoke and I gave up when my first child was born and she didn't even have cf. I left their dad because he wouldn't stop smoking around them.

Do you ever get to see the cf clinic ppl on your own without your parents?

If not then phone Judith Glazner (93455840) or (93455522) pager 4118 or ring Rebecca Jackson on (93454749) They are the cf coordinators/counsellors and they might be able to help work out a plan of action. I'm sure you have spoken with Judith before, (She is really nice and very helpful). I think Nicola reardon replaced Rebecca and I'm not sure what her number is so maybe Judith would be your best bet.

Maybe you could leave quitting pamphlets in obvious places around the house, as a not so subtle hint!!

Do you have a relative who might be on your side who can talk to them for you?

You could cough excessively everytime they light up it might bug them into stopping, but from the sounds of them I very much doubt it would work <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

In the meantime try to stay out of the rooms that they are smoking in.

I hope you can sort them out soon ~~HUGS~~

You can phone the kids helpline if you need someone to talk too as well. (1800 55 1800)
