Thank you for your response. I was thinking the very same thing but it always helps when you get an opinion from someone outside the family. He doesn't realize how good he has it here. My husband is an ex police officer and he will be having a discussion with my son tonight to address what could legally happen to him for taking someone elses prescription medication. I am personally willing to let the consequences fall where they may because my dad was an alcoholic (died 5 years ago at age 64 due to his illness). I disconnected myself from his addiction and told him I was meeting with a funeral director to make his arrangements while he was still here to help...he died 4 days later (3 days after I sat down with the funeral director).
