Yep. easy child/difficult child was in a car with two other guys and the car was stopped for ??? whatever. No drugs or booze involved. The cop
ran his name and pulled out the cuffs telling him "you have a warrant for violation of probation". His friend called me around
1:00 and told me. He asked the policeman "do you know what the
VOP is?" The answer was "Nope."
Well, I am 99% sure I know what it is! :rolleyes:
About three weeks ago, easy child/difficult child got drunk as a skunk and one of the
men in blue took him to jail "until he was sober enough to leave"
but there were no charges filed. easy child/difficult child got out and told me that
there were no charges. I replied "but I bet there will be a VOP
filed". "No way!" says my kid, the expert on the system.
A week later he went for his monthly Probation office meeting
and when he got in the car said "See??" I smiled and said "Son
you really lucked out, evidently. You should thank God that you
got a bye and make sure you don't mess up again."
That has got to be it. I am detached enough that I am not upset.
Even with the brain damage he knows he needs to avoid drugs and
alcohol. He is the one making the choices. He is the one who
has to pay the consequences. :hammer:
My big problem is that those idiots will not accept medications from me
or our pharmacy. We'll have to wait for "their" MD to decide he
needs the medications and then "their" pharmacy has to prepare his pills
in a blister pack and deliver it to the jail etc. etc. He may
go two days without his anti-seizure medication. That worries me
but I know there is nothing I can do about it.
We've been coasting on the roller coaster for awhile, I guess a
ride on the down side was to be expected. DDD
