Finding "substance" in Moms purse

Home More advice Parents & Family

Sorry I wrote a lot but please read it.

Hey everyone. I'm actually not new to the site, I have another account on here but did not feel comfortable asking this question on that account. Alright here it goes...

Tonight I was just sitting downstairs watching tv with my Mom and she was expecting my sister in law (my half-brothers wife) to come over to give her some "money." Well as soon as she walked in and saw me sitting there she kinda hesitated to hand over the "money" to my Mom. And my Mom just opened up her purse and said, "just set it in there, with my bill money." So she had this "money" in her hand scrunched up so you couldn't see it and put it in there. Well this "money" was wrapped up in some kind of plastic so, I knew as soon as I heard her put it in there that it didn't sound like no money to me. Well a couple hours later when my Mom went to bed I told her I was going to go downstairs to get my cellphone and call my friend, she said okay and went to bed. Besides getting my phone I was actually planning on looking in her purse but I got my phone first. I looked in her purse and could her the paper like I did before, and I pulled it out. Marijuana. I knew it, I had caught her with it before (about a year ago) but she told me it was my brothers. I knew he had smoked it but I didn't believe her even though I said I did. That was only once though... Two years ago I actually found it in this closet like thing we have in our house (I was just exploring it since I never really looked in it before) and reached on this high up shelf and found some there too, with a pipe. I remembered the smell instantly when I seen and smelled it tonight.

First things first. My Mom, Dad and the rest of my family do come from a good and happy family. We have a nice home, family friends, pets, and a good reputation in our town. Were not the like "loser" type of family. But it kinda I guess hurt me when I finally just... KNEW that my Mom did it. I mean the times before were obvious, but this time was even more. She doesn't know that I know... do I say anything to her? What? I dont' know if I want to, I mean I think that would hurt our relationship a bit, or make her feel embarassed like I think shes a "bad" person. But I dont, I think she's wonderful, I jsut don't know how to react or what to think about it all... Advice Anyone? Thanks! I'm 17 btw.
