[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 562929"] Thank you all. I'm making progress. Cannot charge him in the his location. Still deciding what to do about signing for the warrant here on Monday. My al-anon sponsor has a close relative who is a family law attorney near the town where difficult child is. He is contacting her to see if she knows the judge, has advice, etc. I called a wonderful facility in a nearby state. This place has a widespread reputation of being one of the best in the country. (My sponsor's dad went there.) They will take him. We did preadmit. The doctor has done preliminary treatment plan. On Monday, we will deal with insurance, etc. It is about 7-8 hours from difficult child and 5-6 from me. I want to be ready should difficult child ask for help. He gets ONE OPTION. Tomorrow, I am going through his stuff and getting a bag ready. All this may be in vain but I pray not. Unless he ends up dead or in prison, he will come back for help. Just a matter of time. This place is more restrictive. difficult child cannot call during 4-5 weeks of treatment. They use two sober houses after that. He cannot have a cell phone or a vehicle unless he has been there about a year. They walk or ride bikes to work. Am cancelling difficult child from my insurance Monday. No need to spend that money. Selling car in spring when prices are higher. Besides, the car is likely a trigger for him of his old life. If he ever gets to the point I am willing to help him again, we will deal with that then. Am hoping they might hold him long enough for him to be ready to go. Going to tell judge we have a bed waiting. Praying the costs aren't so high that I cannot do it. I am not willing to put my financial security in total disarray to find difficult child decided to leave right after my non-refundable check cleared the bank. Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
