please, no cuts or jabs. i have been having trouble with my mother she has a low tolerance for pain and an affinity for medications. i cant seem to get it through to her that she is going to kill herself one day.
this has been an off and on problem for several years. but while dad was alive he kind of kept her in check. since he passed,, the problems have been increasing in number. i can tell when shes had to much and tonight was one of those nights.
to keep a long storry from getting to long, i basically told her that when i went to the doctor(also her doctor) i was going to ask him to reevaluate the meds that she is taking. this made her madder then a hornet and she tried to guilt trip me with the whole, i guess you just want me to suffer for the rest of my life.
i told her that a little pain was better then her being deader than a f n doornail. then told her to sleep it off and i would talk to her tommorrow.
she doesnt want me to say anything to the doctor because she has been getting drugs from another doctor, and not telling either one what the other is giving her.
off hand, her "nightly coctail" consists of one to three muscle relaxers(told her that the heart was a muscle she didnt get it) an NSAID or two and chase it down with a vicoden.
am i doing the right thing in talking to the doc? i dont want to have her committed or anything because she is fine most of the time. i think that a lot of her pain is from the loss of my father and she wont listen to me telling her that is not the way to deal with it.
what should i do?
i realize that an internet forum may not be the best place to seek advice on this but i value you alls input.

Been thinking of selling my AK47. I used screws in place of rivets. If it were you, would you sell it as is, rivet it, or take it apart and sell it as a parts kit?
I personally wouldn't buy a screwed(hacked) together ak.
That being said, others would. If I were you, I'd list it as is and see if it sells without further intervention at a price you can live with. If it does, great. If not, then you pick a road.
Where does your screwed-together AK fit into those laws?
