Nadya Suleman mother of 14 children checks in Drug Rehabilitation Center
 

– Reported, November 06, 2012

 

Octomom Nadya Suleman has checked herself into a 28-day rehab program for an addiction to the anxiety drug Xanax, reports TMZ.

Suleman, 37, will undergo treatment at the Chapman House Drug Rehabilitation Center in Southern California. Her three nannies and two friends will watch over her 14 young children during that time.

“Nadya wanted to get off the Xanax she was prescribed by her doctor and learn to deal with her stress, exhaustion and anxiety with professional help with a team of doctors,” says her rep. “Nadya wanted to deal with her issues and make sure she is the best mother she can be.”

Suleman, a single mom, previously revealed she regrets having so many children and has considered suicide.

“Some days I have thought about killing myself,” said Octomom. “I cannot cope. Obviously I love them, but I absolutely wish I had not had them.”

Nadya, who has 14 children under age 10 (including her two-year-old octuplets), admits she made a mistake undergoing in-vitro fertilization and feels desperate many days.

“The only way I can cope is to lock myself in the bathroom and cry,” said the unemployed Suleman. “Sometimes I sit there for hours and even eat my lunch sitting on the toilet floor. Anything to get peace and quiet.”

Nadya, who has received countless death threats over the years, has struggled with financial problems and public hatred and says she deserves more credit than she’s given.

“I’ve trained them so well, they can brush their own teeth, dress themselves and scrub each other’s backs – they’re so independent,” she said. “It’s not chaotic. They’re very quiet and obedient and they’re well-behaved and smart. The kids have structure and discipline and only eat healthily – they don’t know what candy is! I’ve done a really great job with them – I don’t get any credit.”

In fact, Octomom insists her children could not have a better mom. “They could never have a better home,” she said.

“A better home, physically, yes; we’re going to be moving. But they could never have a better mother.”
