[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 80233, member: 1514"] The gun issue is and mental instability aside, I am probably not going to be liked for my answer here. Who can say she is addicted to her pain medications? Maybe dependent...but if she has fibromyalgia that is a very painful and debilitating condition and a pain specialist is prescribing these medications for her. It is not easy to get narcotics prescribed. Instead of sending her articles on her disorder, of which I am sure she already knows plenty, maybe try to understand that she cannot do everything she once did. If she is getting morphine then she is in a good deal of pain. I was on oxycontin at one point and am probably heading back to stronger narcotics at some point in the future as my pain levels are up there again. None of us with these chronic, hidden, pain disorders wants them. We didnt ask for them. We did nothing to get them. Just like with our difficult child's, we would like the world at large to accept us without judging us as bad people or "addicts". I dont know your mom but this post really hit me because it could have been written by one of my kids. I have done most of what you have written except I have no daughters. [/QUOTE]
