I love how People in this thread are blaming others for their loved ones becoming addicted to pain pills.

Of course it's the fault of the addict. My brother was cruising along fine when after a terrible accident, he got hooked on painkillers in long term care. From there, it was a two year cycle of addiction and despair. And ultimately, death.

My viewpoint takes in THE TOTALITY of the issue however. His self-destructive behavior did not take place in a vacuum. There were many who enabled his behavior. Including people like this who owned nice homes and the accoutrements of success on the misery and addiction of others. They aren't to blame for the behavior of others, but they sure as hell are part of the problem.
