I'm scared to go to the police about my husband stealing my pain MD'S(his father is a Miami ex-detective)HELP!?

I asked the following question before. I got excellent answers, however, many stated I should go to college to find better people. Just to let you know I went to college, I have a graduate degree in Accounting & I still owe $55,000 worth of student loans. I would like to change careers but I'm struggling VERY HARD with my disabilities from my car accident that happened in 2004. I have had 9 operations since & I just came home from the hospital today for the 10th time since. I went because I suffer extremely painful spasms that radiate from my brain stem to the left side of my head. I have Occupital & Trigenimal Neuralgia among other things. If I don't stop the pain the inflamation affects my motor functions & if left untreated I will have permanent brain damage. The car accident was not my fault. The person who caused this 3 car pile up on I-95 (where I was the middle car that landed on the car in front of me and then my car fell backwards) was obligated to pay me via their insurance paid their policy limit which was $100,000 within months of the accident. This just barely covered my hospital bill. My Lexus was totaled. I'm in serious debt from this accident & had to take a huge cut in pay because I physically can't handle what I used to before the accident. My employer said I'm not the same person because of all the mistakes I make (which I never did before the accident). My employer is right (acknowledged by all my doctors), thus, I also have been told by all my doctors to go on disability. I'm working on getting partial disability mainly for protection against discrimination for my current medical condition. I'm allowed to work while partial disability, The limited income threshold from receiving partial disability will help supplement from what I'm making now. As far as religious groups. I have tried but it's hard to be around people when you don't want to feel like a burden because of my ongoing medical problems. Also, the only sibling I had died in the auto accident & my parents can't handle anymore stress so sharing this problem with them would be too overwhelming for them. I know this because I have hinted enough to see what their reaction would be. Finally, I'm 37 with a 15 yr old daughter who's staying with my parents for the first time in her life while I stay close to Nova University to be a guinea pig to receive any treatment available since their a "teaching hospital" in medicine who works closely with John Hopkins. Anyways, with that said, here is my question that I posted several weeks ago. Sorry for the lengthiness. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm scared to go to the police about my husband stealing my pain meds(his father is a Miami ex-detective)HELP!? I asked this question before but apparently did not provide enough information. I do not want to snitch on my husband. I have tried to hide the medication but he gets extremely angry (but does not hit me). However, I have been a victim of domestic violence before (where my ex-husband tried to kill my family & stabbed me with a knife) so I don't know if I'm extra fearful about confronting him and/or putting my foot down; I was in counseling (as well as my family) for that for 5 years before I met my new husband who is well aware of my past. I have tried to talk to his family who not only is in denial or "tired of dealing with the problem" as they put it as long as he acts "productive" to them that's all they care about. Plus, he's a "momma's boy" so it's like he can do no wrong. The only time that I know (I suspect there were more now) that he was "busted" by them for abusing pain medication he said the pain medication was mine. However, this pain medication was something he bought online & took a much hire dose in a short period of time & when he ran out of those he vomited so much (as well as experiencing other symptoms) for 4 days before being forced to go to the hospital via ambulance (in front of his parents) & when he got there he was so dehydrated (he couldn't hold even Gatorade) that when his toxicology screen came back for opiates he was "clean." He was honest to the drs at the hospital about his opium use & that's why they suggested he see a GI doctor because his intestinal tract was in such bad shape due to ulcers from the pain med. However, since he also had food poisoning (as well as I but did not suffer because as much because I had a better GI tract) and was given antibiotics his originally suspicious parents believed that it was just food poisoning & that this non-prescribed stash was mine, which has now ruined my relationship with my in-laws even though I told them to blood test me anytime & even offer me a lie detector test. I only take my pain medication when I have spasm from MS, and now occipital & trigenimal neuralgia that I was diagnosed with after a severe 2004 auto accident for which I have had already 9 operations. I never have dealt with someone with substance abuse but due to

1. taljk to the doc who's prescribing them for you; he/she might have some ideas on how to handle it; you're probably not the first....
2. If you are frightened to go to the police, then you should not go to the police. Other options include: (a) talking to his friend or family about an intervention; (b) talking to your doctor about options for pain management that might not provide him with drugs he would like, or that would provide them to you in small enough numbers that he would not be able to sustain his addiction; or (c) urging him into some type of treatment program. I am not convinced the police would be that helpful, even without his father being a cop. It sounds like his problem is addiction, not that he is a criminal.
3. Consult your attorney. You cannot continue to live with a man who puts his own recreational "needs" ahead of your medical needs.
4. with all due respect i will never understand why you women stay with men who abuse you even though it may not physically what he is doing is ILLEGAL and you could get into alot of legal trouble too. to h*ll with his family and don't let them intimidate you my question to you is why do you stay? and please don't give that lame excuse about having kids and how this will affect them or that you still love this so called man who is clearly only using you..... LET'S RODEO SAN ANTONIO YEEEE.....HAAAAA
5. you can switch out the meds with something else that looks alike
6. Whatever you do make sure you have plan A and plan B. I would suggest that you not contact the police right now. You need to concentrate on getting yourself some place where it is safe for you. Contact a women's domestic abuse hotline. Explain to them the situation that you are in with your husband. I also think you should explain your medical history and the need for you to be near a location that will assist with your medical needs. You should also explain your employment situation, basically explain everything you are enduring right now. They will be able to help you develop different plans/options. Only a well recognized women's domestic abuse hotline will be able to help you develop a legal thought out plan. Also, since you have exhausted all of the insurance claim, can you sue the driver of the car personally? I'll say a pray for you. I hope everything works out for you and your daughter. Don't be scared, be bold.
