First of all, Quincy, I just wanted to send you another hug. What you have had to go through in your young life is just not right! I cannot imagine a mother treating a daughter as your's has treated you. As a mother of a grown son and daughter myself, all I can think is that if either one of them were in chronic pain (and I do believe my daughter may have fibro like me) I would do ANYTHING to prevent that and I don't care what it took! Quincy, I really do think she is just placing her own guilt on you. Afterall, it's so much easier to call someone else an addict rather than face the truth herself. My advise to you is, continue to love her as she is your mother but only talk to her about the unimportant things in your life. It's possible maybe she'll catch on someday (but don't count on it) Live your life for yourself and your child and by all means get that two timing idiot out of your life. I've followed your posts for so long and was thinking about you just the other day, and even though I don't know you, I do know that you deserve better!

As for the topic, my SO knows.. he's not crazy about the idea, but he's pretty supportive most of the time. When he's been in a good mood, he even paid for a refill or two for me. He's french canadian though and constantly says that we Americans take pills for everything. I won't mention that he drinks a beer or two or three for everything. LOL

Btw, I think someone else mentioned that there is another thread on this subject titled "who do you tell" It was a really interesting thread.

Also while typing a novella here, I wanted to ask for a little support also. Along with my knee probs and fibro, in the past two weeks after and MRI I just found out that I also have degenerative disk disease, scoliosis and extensive arthritis in my hip. So any good vibes will be so appreciated!
