[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 150429, member: 2315"] Hi Witz, I will be leaving tomorrow for an out of town affair so I will have a weekend diversion and some breathing room. Thankfully it is a party and I do not have to "hang" with husband. He tends to be a bit of a butterfly at these things flitting around smoozing with the other guests. I usually end up helping my host out with the food and clean up. It is just my nature and I don't mind. difficult child just called about twenty minutes ago he is still crying AND they did not put him on suicide watch like I requested. If anything happens to him you will hear me roar clear around the globe! As I suspected he only heard the bit about 23 months he didn't hear that he was to go to a rehab and the rest. I tried to clarify it to him but the guard was breathing down his neck and timing him. He only had a 3 minute call. This is really burning me up. He is borderline retarded for crimy's sake. Can't they have a little compassion and understand that he cannot process this without help? It's not like they don't know he is at the same facility he spent two years at waiting to go to a group home. But you are right all I can do right now is let him know that I love him and that I will be pulling for him. I did say to the Po that I would be advocating for him because it is what I do. I said to her "because the system is broken and my son is not able to do everything you ask this is to be his life? In and out of prison because the rules are not quite understood. He believed he was in a program by going to AA and staying sober. He doesn't deserve this." She said that she specifically told him "in house and gave a regference. I told her that he had gone to them and they never followed through and that he is not able to do this sort of thing on his own. She replied that due to HIPPA no one would talk to me unless difficult child was declared incompetent and she didn't think he would qualify nor did she know how to get that done. And when I told her that he needed to be supervised she said that no county worker or program can supervise him all the time. difficult child had no concept of time restraints and was waiting to hear back. So in his mind he was doing what he was told and he just doesn't understand why they are so hard on him. And frankly neither do I. They have to know and understand that his mental illness makes it hard for him to hold a job etc. But yet that is made a criteria of his parole. He cannot manage money even after numerous interventions to teach him life skills but they leave that for him and penalize him when he fails. Can you say FRUSTRATION? [/QUOTE]
