[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 660371, member: 15832"] Your story brings back a lot of bad memories for me. We ended up buying him a cheap condo for 20,000.00. He lasted about three weeks, as of course his drug use escalated. Ended up calling the ambulance as he called me from his car in some not so great neighbourhood with abdominal pain. He was obviously impaired and his speech made no sense. That was January 31,2013, and he has not been back since. I know some others from my support group have done the same, with similar results. So I don't think the apartment is a good idea, either. I know at one point I packed a backpack with basic clothing, toiletries and the names, addresses, and phone numbers of shelters, relatives, his doctor, and his therapist. This was after I had kicked him out once (he was back in three days. He's not too good on his own and he knows it.) It was oddly comforting to me to pack that backpack. I hope you guys can find a support group. Families Anonymous has been very helpful to me, as has a therapist of your own to help you come up with strategies and set boundaries. It was absolute hel living with him, and barring some extraordinary circumstances he will not be back here again. We all get it here. Keep posting! [/QUOTE]
