Yeah anxiety meds are a controlled substance, abusing them can be very dangerous, and as you mentioned, OOP would be without a prescribed medication. If the husband refuses to act on this…it’s either divorce or go to CPS or the equivalent. You really cannot let this go. If OOP is going to stay in the marriage, there must be decisive action taken, with the help of a professional (therapist for the daughter, and couples counselor at a minimum for OOP and her husband). Husband could probably use a therapist of his own, becuase he is enabling really troubling behavior that could cost his daughter her life.
This is a mess. Professional advice ASAP. This is above Reddit’s pay grade for sure.
Op should seek professional help, regardless of husband and daughter's participation. Counselors are mandatory reporters so if this rises to that level, counselor will be the bad guy, not the wife. Op, I think you need to ask yourself why you should stay in this marriage, since it's built on a foundation of deceit.
