We had been together this time around for almost 2 years and I found out this morning that he had been getting into my pain pills!! And apparently he had gotten into my grandpa's as well but nothing was said to me until after I kick him out this morning! The only reason I figured it out was because I called yesterday to have my pain meds refilled that I get for my back/hip that I somehow hurt a few months ago (thankfully I have been doing better and have not needed them as much), that thet office called me back this morning to tell me it was too soon!! This time the doctor had filled a month supply instead of a 2 week supply that he had been doing.
I didn't realize but I was kind of suspicious that I was missing some of my meds. I was so pissed off this morning!! Told him I had enough and I was done. He moved back to WI where I wish him the best. Addiction is a horrible thing!!

You did the right thing. I've been thru the theft of my meds in the past and it only gets worse. I found that a good safe is a must when you have desirable meds that you need to endure chronic pain.
I have a lock box that I kept his pain meds in because he would take them when not supposed to....don't know why I didn't lock mine up. Stupid on my part. Live and learn
bxrmom i am sorry, but now you know and you have made a decision you can start concentrating on yourself. Build yourself up and keep smiling, no regrets. I hope and pray that your X can get the help he needs to kick his addiction, blessings Jimeka 🦋 🌈 🤗 🍫 🙏
I am glad you found out what he was doing, that is so wrong. Good for you. About 15 years ago I had a friend of my sons his mother had asked my son if I had any pain killers she could have because her knees were hurting her I told my son to tell her I didn’t have any pain killers, and she should go to her doctor. Which was true. But what I was so ticked off about was my son was only 16 years old. I can’t stand it people think because you have a disease you have pain killers let me tell you if I did I wouldn’t be giving any away.
I'm sorry so, bxrmom . I know this took a lot of courage and follow-through. While it was the right thing to do, I know it also must hurt. I hope you continue to feel better and even more confident about your decision as the days go by. Sending you a hug. 💝 By the way, are you still scheduled to see the neurosurgeon tomorrow?
WAshingtongirl Thanks for your encouraging words. I just feel like I was used. Yes, tomorrow is still my neurosurgeon tomorrow. What's weird is that when I was not feeling well a couple of weeks ago, the back/leg pain had stopped as well and has not come back. Lasted long enough, but not sure what the neurosurgeon is going to say/do now. Will update after my appointment tomorrow.
You were put in a horrible position and congratulations for having the strength to take such a definite stand! A very dear friend went through hell when her husband became addicted to pills and then heroin. He stole from his 3 fabulous children and forced his wife to get him out. I hope this experience will become a distant memory very soon and only positive times ahead.
@bxrmom, congratulations on having the strength to cut the tie. It's often painful to do what absolutely has to be done but you've done it--and may have saved yourself in the process.
