My brother can and has been addicted to about everything. He's now lost is wife, daughter, house, car, etc.. My mother took him in and he's in DAY TREATMENT which I was against since he's been roughly 200 times and I think he needs long term care but that's not my question now.

So, my parents are divorced, Dad calls me last Friday (circulatory communication skills are a must for my family) and states that my sister in law called and told my dad that my mother, who is getting my brothers disability checks, only sent her (my SIL) half of what she needed to make her car payment and that my mother was with-holding my brothers klonopin (sp?) even though it is prescribed.

I then do the good thing that all good circulators do, call my mother this past Monday and tell her what I heard from my Dad. My mother think's he's doing better w/out his medication and sends me an e-mail she received from one of my brothers therapists saying how well he's doing (he could BS the Pope and not blink an eye so blah blah blah). I then tell her that I could give a flip about how well he was doing, my point in telling her was that HE HAS BEEN TELLING OTHER PEOPLE THAT MY MOTHER IS NOT GIVING HIM HIS MEDICATION. This was a huge beacon to me showing how he was using the triangulation to set up an escape when needed. She's not talking to me again which is fine but I suggessted she may want to address this issue with him since she thought he was doing great. Really, how else would my sister in law know he wasn't being given his meds if he had not told her and then made a point about them being prescription?
