I think it’s likely than not that your Dad has found another source of opioids that he isn’t telling you about.
I was thinking (1) he kept the Ambien prescription and has started taking it again, and/or (2) he's been smoking pot and not telling us (which in general I wouldn't care about, except for how it could impact his cognition). I did not consider him getting illegal opioids, but that could be a factor.
I'm texting with my brother, and he said he'll hop on a plane and fly out here to get Dad's guns if he won't let Tim and me take them. We have keys to Dad's apartment, so my brother said he'll just wait until Dad's at work and then go take the guns.
Yikes, Steph. That is a whole lot to deal with.
Jeez, Tep, that's incredibly scary. I'm glad your dad's neighbor contacted you because somebody's going to get shot.
Okay, Tim's awake. THIS is going to be a fun conversation.
Please let us know how it goes. Yes, the paranoia is a bad sign. He may well have kept a prescription or two.
eta: Parents!
Good lord, Tep. That is a LOT! Yikes! I hope your dad can be more reasonable about all this than not. Dang.
Tim isn't super comfortable with the idea of us taking Dad's guns (I do not blame him AT ALL), and said that if my brother really can come out here, he'd rather go that route. So we'll see what we need to do to make that happen.
That's understandable. I have heard of places where you can just turn in guns to be safely disposed of no questions asked but I don't know how widespread that is or how to go about finding one, but might be an option for you - just pick them up from your dad and take them immediately to the sheriff or wherever
Oh man, that is a lot to deal with Steph.
