Friend Comatose After Meth Accident and Me Being Investigated?

Question by Shelby: Friend comatose after meth accident and me being investigated?
My friend Dave was around a meth lab and had a chemical they use to make it on his clothing. Unbenounced to me he came to my house to talk about his breakup with his girlfriend and i thought thats it. I didnt notice anything wrong with him or that he was high or anything. I did not even know he was around meth or doing meth. I didnt know he had a drug problem at all. How i didnt see this I dont know. I was nieve to it i guess. And i know ignorance is not an excuse for any of this. Well he went into cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital and everyone was thinking it was his athsma acting up. His family and I were at the hospital within the first few minutes of finding out. They quarintined the whole hospital and the hazmat team was there. We had to take showers outside and the whole thing was horrible. To make matters worse the next morning I came down with breathing problems and was admitted as well to the hospital. I begun to get very scared. I didnt know what was going on. When the dr. told me what it was i panicked. I have a child of my own and 4 others I take care of on a daily basis. It scared me to death and I didnt know how to deal with everything that had happened. I am now under supervision due to this insadent. My question is with the fermeldahyde being in the house I was told to thorughly clean my house and wash all clothing and cloth materials. Everything from top to bottom. Well I was cleaning I was taking out my roomates stuff because I can not have anyone over here and I found two needles. She lives in the bacment and I never go down there. Well I called the police right away. My children were in grave danger. I called it in and reported her in a frenzy panic. The officer that came told me to calm down and it was going to be okay. I was just wondering how this is going to reflect on me? I have never done drugs, and i dont drink. There are no guns or knives besides common kitchen ones in my house. I have set it as a safe place and now i have lost that. Am I going to be okay? I am really scared because these people have jepordized my children that it is going to come back on me as a bad parent and care taker and they will take them away and destroy my life and put me in jail or worse prison. Do you think that I will go? I’m panicing over all of this. Please help. And I know the mistakes in the people I have allowed over are unexceptable. There is nobody in or out now besides me, the kids, and the police.
I learned real quick not to associate with people like that. I am trying my best to keep it together. Its just really scary. And yes I obviously should have known about these people but they did not act any different from when i first met them. But I guess drugs affect people in a way i didnt understand. I’m only 20 and have never been around these things. I go to college and am trying to make a good example for the kids.
I have reported everything that I can possibly know. And that is why I reported the needles today. For the saftey of my children and i didnt know who’s they were exactly.

First and foremost, it don’t sound like you’ve done anything wrong, so quit panicing, and don’t talk to those 2 anymore. So, your being investigated, whoop te do, if you don’t do anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about. It does sound however like you could use some counceling because you sound like a really nervous person, like you get riled, like way to easily. dilligaf is an idiot and she’s feeding into your problem. Look, let me tell you something, I had a boyfriend for 4 and a half years, I lived with him, and I had no clue that he was on meth until shit hit the fan, its hard to detect. It really is, I mean its odorless and, how was I supposed to know? You know, it happens. Thats one of the reasons why the police are having such a hard time combatting this problem is because you know its difficult to tell when someone’s on it. But from now on, if I were you, if anyone acts like they have a little to much energy and like they’re doing more than what is actually humanly possible to do, then, I’d stay away from that person if I were you, you know like, someone pushy with a short fuse who acts like they have everything together, that’s a meth head, more likely than not, that or they’re on steroids. Someone who don’t sleep, don’t eat alot, bad teeth sometimes. But everyone who does meth eventually crashes and burns, that is the saddest part about it, and usually, they’re decent people, other than their addiction kills them. Heart attacks, some just loose their mind completely, strokes, its bad news, bad news. Some loose their temper and kill others, some just flip you know, its really bad.
