How about....talking to your parents about drugs?
Not this last time....but the 3rd I evacuated (haha) my elderly aunt was also at my parents. She had enough quantity and various qualities of pan killers to keep a drug dealer in a NY apartment for 3 months! I had never seen anything like it.
SHe got them all confused and forgets what to take when. This once very vibrant woman is no doubt a 'legal' drug addict. I discussed this with my Mom (the health freak who doesn't take pills unless really needed) said that many of my aunts and her friends take 'that stuff' (as she called it) all the time.
I wonder if we are making this knowledge available to our children...but forgetting we have a whole elderly group out there who are killing themselves.
I mean, at some point, it wouldn't matter if you were close to death anyway. But what if you still had a life and things to accomplish if you weren't so MESSED UP on prescription pain killers.
