I really wish I didn’t have to write this, but here we go.
I think my partner’s mom stole some of my ADHD medication (20 capsules worth)
I’m not going to get into the details of everything but here is some important background information. Over a year ago my partner and his family became concerned about his moms use of prescription drugs (vyvanse, adderall, etc). My partner and another family member sat her down and expressed their concerns based on the behaviour they had been observing, her mood, health, etc. My partners mom got very defensive, denied misusing her medication, and refused to get help. She basically made everyone feel terrible/crazy for even thinking she had a problem and would bring it up often.
Fast forward to today. My partners mom and siblings came over for dinner. We opened presents, ate dinner and had an overall lovely time. Halfway through the visit I realize I left my medication in a basket under the coffee table (big mistake on my part I know). Because we were all sitting and eating in the living room I wasn’t able to move it without everyone seeing what I was doing and it upsetting my partners mom. I even felt guilty for thinking it was going to be a problem at the time.
After they left I had this feeling that I should check the medication. This was a 100 capsule bottle that I got filled 12 days ago and I only started using 3 days ago. The bottle had a noticeable amount missing so I counted it out and there was 77 left.
I told my partner and we are trying to figure out what to do next. We don’t have proof it was his mom, but based on everything that’s happened over the past year, we have reason to believe it was her.
I’m so mad at myself for leaving my medication out and I’m mad at my partner’s mom for putting us in this situation. I tried posting this in another subreddit and most people suggested making a police report or threatening her with a police report, but idk that seems too harsh. Just wondering how to approach this with her and have a conversation about it and hopefully get my medication back.
Has anyone experienced something similar and how did you handle it?
TLDR: I think my partner’s mom stole my ADHD medication and don’t know what to do next
