Thank you very much. Somehow writing it out, when I went back and reread it it became very clear that addiction is the issue.

We finally talked today, I said I had something to say & proceeded to say I could'nt do this anymore, that I wasn't going to pay for the narcs anymore or the doctor visits or the ER bills he ran up whenever he ran out of meds and went to the ER in acute pain.

He asked if I wanted him to leave, I said that if he felt like he needed to then go ahead. He asked if I would manage the pills again and keep the extras at a relatives out of his reach & I said no, I can't do that anymore. He says he is in a quandry because he needs the pain control but can't control how he takes them. I said he would have to figure that out but I had heard of people who were on non narcotic means of pain control due to addiction. I did say that if his behavior occurred again I would ask that he leave because of the effects it has on the family..

Thank you for your wisdom. It really helps when I feel like I don't know what to do.

Thank you for the insight.
