I am 25 and recently had surgery and moved back home with my mom and dad temporarily so they could help me while I recover. My 33 year old brother still lives at home with them permanently. He is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, who suffers from depression. Classic case I suppose. When I was younger and had surgery he stole my pain medication, but only came clean years later that he was the one who took it. (We didn't know he had a drug problem at that time.) Well, he did it again this time. I thought I hid my medication well enough, but apparently I didn't. I was writing how many pills were in each bottle on the actual bottle, but he still stole them. I refuse to ever speak to him again. I am having another surgery in a few weeks and I need my parent's help, but they have refused to kick him out, even temporarily while I recover. If I go back to my apt I don't have anyone to help me and I am going to need help. Can anyone out there give me some advice on what to do?
