Question by Cherish: Work Drug Screen Question?
I have a interveiw comming up for a job I really want. It says that a background check and a Drug Screen is required. I have to take Precsription pain meds for health reasons. Usually is Hydrocodone and when it is really bad Percocet. I was wondering if they look for this on pre-employment drug screens or not? If they do or it shows up if I have written permission-reasoning from my doctor can they or would they refuse employment to me? I would hope not but I wanted to ask. Thank you in advance.:)

If they screen for opiates, then they would show up and it all will tell them is you have opiates in your system. If you have a legitimate reason for taking these and a doctor’s prescription, I cannot see any reason why they would not hire you, unless they don’t want someone who is taking pain medication working for them. Good luck.    Read more...

Question by klyang47: I need some advice on whether or not i should stay in this marriage?
I am 28 years old and my husband is 33. I have been with him for almost 8 years now, and we’ve been married for four years. We have two children, a 5 1/2 year old girl and a 2 1/2 year old boy. For the most part, we’ve been pretty happy…up until like 2-3 years ago…we just weren’t getting along at all. When I was about 5 months pregnant with our 2nd child, he would never be home. He was always at his friends house til like 3 or 4 am…just hanging out having a beer or whatever. I was home with a 2 1/2 year old toddler and pregnant. I spoke to him many times, but it didn’t work. Things kept going like that and then I had our son. Then things were okay for a little bit.    Read more...
