i called to cops on my parents

i posted this in a different subreddit but it got taken down.

i (17f) contacted the police after my stepdad (38m) offered me hydrocodone (an opioid prescribed to manage severe, chronic pain. it carries a high potential for abuse and addiction, and is classified as a Schedule II Controlled Substance).

he offered it out of the blue, no he didn’t pressure me to, after i said no he left it at that. although it made me incredibly uncomfortable. my mom witnessed this and took the pill from me and took it herself.

some may say i could have done something other than go to the police, but i know i am a teenage and we can act rashly. that night i messaged 911, because i knew it wasn’t an emergency and i just wanted advice. i talked to the operator, scared of them sending police because it was late at night and i didn’t believe it was serious enough for them to come.

well it ended up opening case, the old SRO at my highschool (i graduated) was now working with narcotics and had given me a call. at this point i had pictures of at least 4 bottles of prescription hydrocodone (not my stepdads or moms but a family friends) and weed and pipes and still like that.

i do wanna say that i have been offered weed (edibles) by my parents and took them. my mom and i are VERY close in age (she had me in highschool) so sometimes we are more like peers, so i thought maybe this would make me closer to her in a way (stupid ik).

i sent them to the officer, and she said she’ll look more into this. a week went by and i thought they weren’t going to do anything. till i got a call at work for the same officer (i work pretty much full time at walmart (35hrs a week)) saying if she could stop by and collect the evidence, my mom and stepdad were at work and so was i, so my brother (15) went to get the ‘evidence’ for the officer, who would come by and get it later on.

well turns out the family friend that was giving my parents the pills was babysitting and my brother was caught and ratted me out to him, he then called my parents. my mom texted me asking “wtf is wrong with you”. i went to my team lead and told her i needed to go home.

when i got there two cops were inside talking to my mom (she came home from work as well, and my stepdad was on his way home from work but it took longer cause he worked about 2 hrs from home) i sat outside with my brother and waited.

im not entirely sure what the cops said to my mom and the friend, but he can catch a felony if he doesn’t corporate and he can cut a deal. my mom on the other hand will get a perfanilia charge and cps will get involved, i dont know about my stepdad because the cops didn’t get to talk to him.

when cps comes to the house we will all get drug tested and it will be worse for my mom because i have THC in my system and she gave it to me.

now my mom didn’t really talk to me except to say that i should have talked to her first, she’s disappointed, and i need to stay in her sight because she thought this situation would make me suicidal, i was very confused on how she came to this conclusion. she also claimed ive taken and asked for this hydrocodone before but i have legit NO memory of this happening.

then when my stepdad got home he tried to apologize saying “im so sorry i made you uncomfortable by offering you the equivalent of 320mg of ibuprofen, i only offered it cause you complain you’re feet hurt.” i had taken ibuprofen before he offered it to me infront of my mother because me feet hurt but complain my feet hurt literally everyday and they’ve never done this.

he also started talking about how it’s my fault i was sexually assaulted by my brother because i walk around the house half naked (an oversized tshirt, shorts, most of the time no bra) and how i cry about personal space (wanting my brothers to stay out of my room) and when i went in his space to take pictures of the pill bottles and weed. he also was talking about other shit that made no sense trying to make me feel bad, i don’t remember what he said after the other stuff because i zoned out.

i also have a younger brother (12) that always hangs out with my stepdad so im not sure if hes ever been offered or has done any of the drugs.

later on in the day my mom comes in and says im going to stay with my grandparents because there was too much tension in the house because of me.

so currently im stay at my grandparents for the time being but im worried about my brothers because when he is off the pills he’s very agitated and aggressive, not ever physically but mentally and verbally. it effects my 15 yr old brother the most (the one that had sexually assaulted me, but im too forgiving and i think we’re fine now…. ik ill get hate for that)

my parents are just downplaying it a lot and i feel like i didnt the wrong thing. sorry for any errors or if i missed information, im writing this on my lunch break and dont have time to proofread.
