When she legally became an adult, she began doctor shopping. Antidepressants, opiods, benzos. She was a walking pharmacy for a decade. She had 2 plastic containers [probably the size of a 24-pack of soda/beer] that were full of pills at all times. She also drank while medicated, which was super dangerous.
She had to have a hysterectomy. Her insurance only covered 1 day of recovery, so the doctors sent her home before her pain was under control. She refused to stay with family while she recovered.
She went home, self-medicated, accidentally overdosed and passed away. Her kids were only ~ 5, 6, 8 & 10 at the time. Horrible all around.

I understand the pain my friend. My brother died from opioids too almost 4 years ago. It's rough the first couple years but slowly gets better. Although he died from an infection that slowly killed him over time. Drugs are f
ucking bad and I try to help anybody that's addicted the best I can. At least the children have you guys to look up too.
