The rollercoaster that is.
I haven't been around much while my difficult child was back in treatment. I was enjoying the calm.
A week and a half ago he my difficult child was released after another 11 weeks of treatment (following his 10 day stay in ICU and then another week or so in the mental hospital) He went to a Transitional Living program that focuses on peoplew/mental illness. 97% also have addiction as well, but his mental illness is primary and he couldn't get into most of the sober living homes with his current mix of medications. He's diagnosis bipolar and NPD so he qualified for this program. They were very hesitant to take him as he's only 18. "Most 18 yr olds just aren't ready. They arent serious." I can't tell you how many times I've heard this the past few months!!
Well....
Things went well for about a week.
Then we began to see red flags again. I don't know if he's using again, but I'm highly suspicious. He posted a picture on social media where he appears high as a kite. Last night he sent crazy text msgs to my phone about a bike ride at 2am and coming home to a drunk in his living room with his backpack?!
So yeah, getting back on the rollercoaster and strapping myself in for the ride. He cant get any more rock bottom than he was in June, so I'm pretty worried.
