[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 626348, member: 14865"] Everyone was so great when my difficult child daughter tried to commit suicide in late February. Since then, she's moved back to our community, gotten an apartment with a guy friend she's known since junior high, gotten a food delivery job, developed a surprisingly strong work ethic, learned to manage money much better, and apparently taking her bipolar medications (as she's been stable all this time). Her apartment mate has been a nice, thoughtful young man (they have agreed not to be "dating" while living together for now, although they do go on "dates" and there's definitely attraction - they are doing the mature thing).He has been very dependable and sweet to difficult child. From a nice middle class family. I can't believe what's happened tonight. This evening, she walked in the apartment and he was shooting up. I did not know until tonight that he is a recovering heroin addict. Found out tonight that he's done rehab, now has counseling, takes suboxone, goes to the gym daily, has a food delivery job and strong work ethic, good family support. She immediately walked out and came over here. She contacted his mom (who'd asked her to do so if "it" happened) then returned to the apartment-he was gone. He did not show up for work tonight - totally not like him. No one knows where he is. difficult child is just crushed. She is so fragile and vulnerable - I am now scared of what effect this is going to have on her - although I can't control that. She's come so far in 2 months-from mental hospital to enjoying life again - and I hope that this does not trigger a manic attack. I am praying he is safe and is found soon. I don't anticipate getting much sleep tonight. Thanks, whoever reads this, for any prayers and good thoughts for this young man (and for difficult child). [/QUOTE]
