My Drug Abusing Boyfriend Stole My Prescriptions and I Called the police.I Thought I Was Helping!?

Question by Dominique F: My drug abusing boyfriend stole my prescriptions and I called the police.I thought I was helping!?
My ex-boyfriend and I have known each other since I was in 9th grade. He is 22 going on 23 and I turned 20 Jan. 25th. We didn’t talk for several years and then 2 years ago we started talking. Dating didn’t work so we had an open relationship and then for the past year it was serious. He’s had an on going drug problem. When I started dating him 2 years ago he had been arrested for possession and was required to go into intake for 3 weeks and then have mandatory group sessions during the week. We became serious last january and he was getting better….quit coke but smoked pott less and less. He was working and things were fine. I convinced him to go back to school, but before he left we chose to get an abortion….things got hard because my school was in boston and now instead of being 4 hours away he was 9 hours away. I saw him a few times…but I was always busy and we started fighting more because I too much of my own drama to take care of his or let alone ours. Over thanksgiving he had a seizure (he has epilepsy) because he did coke and morphine pills and stopped taking his meds the right way. He kept complaining about being depressed and when I broke up with him one night because I was angry about this he was hurt and stoned…and the next day he didn’t let me take it back and told me he cheated on me. He was depressed and on drugs and he said it was only sex. I met the girl and I believe him and he said he couldn’t deal with the guilt of cheating on me so he let me go. He said he was not in the right state of mind because of the drugs and that he is just really depressed…he failed out of school. We end up getting back together in december around xmas….but things started getting worse. In january during my swim trip in ‘orlando he said he didn’t want to know me anymore. next day he called me to see how I was doing. A week later he got back from a vacation with his mom and said he wanted me back because I was clean and had everything he wanted in a woman…successful athletic smart and strong…He came up from my birhtday and overdosed on my percocet which I had for a broken back last spring. I was at a swim meet and he decided to stay. He couldn’t sleep and he was depressed and thought if he could fall asleep I’d be back sooner. the first 2 didn’t help so he took 2 more. I came back and he was barfing up everywhere. I didn’t take him to the hospital because I was scared. He didn’t leave until monday and monday night he went to his friends house to get high….and thats when I realized he stole what some of the percocet. I had 34 and now theres 23 and switched two vicodins with penicllin which Im allergic too. I called him and didn’tget through to him until 1230 at night at his friends house and reemed him out. he could have killed me! he was stoned. I told him he crossed the line this time. He never wold have done this before but why now!? I told him I would stay with him only to make sure he gets help. He is becoming an addict. He is getting worse and his parents dont have a clue. I texted his mom and told her everything. before she called me back I called the NY police and the police around me in boston to report what happened because I didn’t believe that he wasnt going to take the **** himself or not sell it. I called donald later because he texted me to say hi earlier and he sounded dull. He said he didn’t want to talk to me ever again and it was done for good. It needed to be like this because what he did and he knew I wouldn’t break up with him. He said he needed to be alone. He couldn’t deal with hurting me anymore. His mom called me back and said that she took the pills and that she didn’t know what to do. I told her to tell her husband immediately because donald was dangerous to himself and others and she said she couldn’t tell her husband because she didn’t want to ruin his superbowl vacation. I texted donald a couple days later to see if his mom sent my pills and she didn’t yet. He has been doing worse drugs. The police came to my dorm room to finish taking the report and to take the penicilin because the detective thought the penicillin incident was suspicious. They came back today to give me my miranda rights and now its an actual case. I said I didn’t want to press charges but its out of my control. They are going to send him a court date intwo weeks and if he doesn’t show up put out a warrant here in Mass. and probably in NY. I didn’t want to get involved but he isn’t just dangerous to himself or me anymore. He drives around like that. And with his seizures he could have a seizure on the road because of the drugs and kill someone. Im scared. I love him but I cant be with him. Ive helped all I could. Now this is for someone else to take care of.

You did help. He has a serious problem and in your actions, you tried to show that you cared.
