To the mom who found prescription pills in her boyfriend's drawer. I see a much bigger problem than the fact that your boyfriend is prescribed pills for mental health. First of all, there is nothing wrong with taking medication for mental health.  If he was abusing alcohol it's not uncommon to experience depression and anxiety.   It is also not uncommon for someone with mental health concerns to use alcohol to self medicate.    My bigger problem is that you have a man living in your home, with your children, that you have only known for seven months.  First, how well do you really know this person, that you have around your children?   Second, even if he turns out to be a great guy, your relationship has no commitment. Therefore your children could be bonding with this man as they would a father. I think of the impact that would have if he walked out. Those, to me, are much bigger issues than some old medication you found in a dresser drawer.
