[QUOTE="Payla, post: 566245, member: 15160"] Well, my son got in touch with his sister today to ask her to let me know he is doing heroin and wanted to go to rehab. I called him and he immediately wanted cash to get his flat tire patched. I told him no cash, my husband and I would drive to where he is take his dog with us, and drop him at hospital. I said we would get tire patched when he gets out. I told him to make sure he tells them he has no ins no money, no home. I told him we are not helping pay for methadone ( which we did when he detoxed from prescription pain killers) and we are not helping financially in anyway when he gets out. He thought this was so mean; after 15 years of us pouring 10 s of thousands into one rescue after the other. So my husband and I took the afternoon off on short notice at work, I bought some underwear and socks that he said he needed and we were getting ready to leave when my daughter texted to say I had to call him before we left. I did and he said I think I will go tomorrow cuz I have no ins and they will have to send me somewhere that has a bed. I said what is different between today and tomorrow as far as you having no ins? He said, Don't come . And hung up. I am not upset, weirdly calm and I am really just done with feeling horrible. I am seeing him for who he is. I am not letting him ruin our lives anymore. I am angry that there will be plenty more to come with this, but no longer in anyway, unclear about what I am not willing to do. Wow, so awful. [/QUOTE]
