[QUOTE="Terry-overwhelmed, post: 751174, member: 24359"] It is possible my son is abusing some type of drugs. Every time I ask he says no. He has crazy hours where he will sleep all day and stay up all night. He can be moody and irritable. Before he was incarcerated he had an issue with opiates. He was so depressed that the children were taken from the home and he was facing jail time that he gave up. He was placed in the shock problem and I really felt he turned his life around when he was released. While he was incarcerated, the mother of his children dumped him for someone else who supplied her with her much needed drugs. While he was incarcerated, I sold his mobile home to pay for his lawyer, cleaned and packed up his belongings and stored them in my home 250 miles away. At the same time, managing the kids. The shock program worked great and he was thinking clearly but three years later he seems like his old self. A few weeks back, I was driving with my son in the passenger seat and the 3 grandkids in the back. We exchanged words and I told him what he needed to do. He did not like what I told him and decided to jump out of the car when we were at a red light. Meanwhile, this was miles away from where we needed to be. The grandkids were upset and blamed me. I didnt care and left him there. I never asked how he got home. These are some of the red flags that there may be a substance issue again. How can he obtain help if he doesn’t admit he has a problem? Plus he has an issue with authority and following the rules. I always am waiting for that phone call that he is in jail, hurt or something even worse. All you ladies make some great points and I am so grateful. Hopefully this will open my eyes to how much I really enabled him. God Bless you all [/QUOTE]
