I guess tonight is just my night to vent-----here goes.
If you have any type of prescription drugs, especially controlled substances, lock them up. I mean, in a secure safe, not just a little lock box.
I have severe arthritis and must take pain killers, mostly Tylenol 3, some Vicodin. I have a safe and keep the vicodin locked up, but just wasn't as careful with the T3. I was appalled to find about 20 of them in my DS bedroom, hidden in a Pringles can. I confronted him and asked why, was he actually in pain? If so, I would be glad to take him to a doctor. If not, what was he doing, trying to sell them? I understand they don't have much of a street value. I've also explained to both my kids the dangers of too much Tylenol. Actually, the Tylenol is probably more dangerous than the codeine taken in excess doses.
He just said "if ou can get away with you, you GD b**ch, why can't I"? Huh....WTH am I "getting away with, except some pain relief?
Whatever....just realize, it can happen in your household, too. Get a safe and lock those pills up. You never know, even with cleaning people, repair people, its just not a good idea to leave them accessible.
I think you need more than just a safe. You have raised your kids to be drug seekers and you are not a very nice person to your children this is a deep and huge issue that is not going to be solved by a safe.
