Prescription Pill Abuse?
Question by Less Confused: Prescription Pill Abuse?
Why is it not a bigger deal?
There’s all kinds of anti-drug propaganda about marijuana. You can’t watch TV without see one of those silly commercials. But even the strictest person has to realize marijuana is the least of anyone’s problems.
Everyone I know abuses prescription pills. Hydrocodone, oxycodone, Xanax…many more I can’t name. Middle aged housewives trade these amongst themselves like candy. They give them to their children to calm them down…I’ve witnessed this on many occasions.
Almost everyone has a prescription for some type of “nerve pill” or pain pill…yet it’s impossible for everyone to have that kind of problem.

The War on Drugs Has Become the War on the American People
By John W. Whitehead
10/17/2011
“On July 29, 2008, my family and I were terrorized by an errant Prince George’s County SWAT team. This unit forced entry into my home without a proper warrant, executed our beloved black Labradors, Payton and Chase, and bound and interrogated my mother-in-law and me for hours as they ransacked our belongings… As I was forced to kneel, bound at gun point on my living room floor, I recall thinking that there had been a terrible mistake. However, as I have learned more, I have to understand that what my family and I experience is part of a growing and troubling trend where law enforcement is relying on SWAT teams to perform duties once handled by ordinary police officers.”—Maryland Mayor Cheye Calvo in testimony before the Maryland Senate
My Teenager Who Will Be 16 in November Wants to File to Be Emancipated in Virginia?
Question by : My teenager who will be 16 in November wants to file to be emancipated in Virginia?
Here is a short version of events. We have had problems with her since about the end of 5th grade some typical teenage issues others more serious. She is determined to become emancipated, there is no physical or emotional abuse, no one uses drugs, we provide her a nice home in a nice neighorhood feed her and buy her clothing. We have had issues which concerned us over the last 2 years, twice she has used her dads credit cards without permission once to the tune of $ 1200.00 dollars (we returned everything) and disaplined her by grounding her and taking away her phone and internet for 2 weeks and explaining why this is criminal and wrong, 3 months later she did it to the tune of over $ 600.00. We told her one more time and charges would be filed. She invited a boy over with no adults present and tried to have sex with him, she backed out etc etc. and there have been other issues. She is not mature enough to take care of herself if she files we intend to tell the judge all this things that have happened. We are currently in family therapy trying to work through this. How does Virginia handle this??? Can she do this we are very concerned.
Also I lost my job in Oct 2009 so money is tight very tight and emotions are high. We are unable to put her on our insurance or buy her a car because of this situation and she is upset about that,she appears to have no friends.
We had no intention of buying her a car unless her grades and attitude improved so it wasnt going to happen now she just believes its because we cant afford it.
We dont want to emancipate her we are trying to help her. We need to have testing done for a personality disorder but dont have the funds right now.

Virginia Custody Question?
Question by DrSasha: Virginia Custody Question?
I have sole custody of our six children. My ex husband doesn’t like paying child support and wants joint custody. For a numerous reasons, this is NOT what’s best for our children, ages 4-12. I have no record, abuse, alcohol, or drug issues. What are his chances if it goes to court?
I still encourage frequent visitation with their dad. He has never been an active parent and I have been the primary caregiver for 12 years. The instability in insecurities arising are negatively impacting the children.
