My mom has several health issues, but the most glaring one seems to be that she has an addiction to taking pills. She recently had ankle surgery and is on hydrocodone. We've locked up her pills so she shouldn't have access to them, but she found the emergency key to the safe and we think she's taking extra pills without our knowledge. The same situation seems to be happening with her sleeping pills.
Is there somebody I can talk to about this behavior? Can I reach out to her doctors? I'm going to try talking to her, but in the past it hasn't been helpful. Is there a safe that you would recommend?
I have a one year old at home, and I can't take the chance that my mom will take pills or leave some out or drop them on the floor. She's only been living with me for 3 months, so this is all a new struggle.
