[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 598501, member: 13561"] Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and caring words. It really IS tough but I am the weak link and he is better off without me to fall back on. I can tell that he is nervous about his future but in addition to the stuff that happened on Friday, he has been in an altered state since then. He got 60 Klonopin from his new psychiatric dr on Thursday. They are all gone. It's only Sunday. In addition, he must have got some marijuana from his Friday hookup because I can smell it. My ex gave him a couple of shelves in the hall closet for his clothes and it reeks of weed. So already he is self-medicating. His speech is somewhat slurred, although he is making perfect sense and he looks ready to fall asleep. What a trainwreck. and we've only been here for a week. He even called about jobs and picked up some application forms yesterday, in that state. Not going to bode well for full time employment, which he might not get anyway, as he has a felony from 2008. Yep. Not going well at all...as a friend texted me "If he wants to eff everything up then you don't have to be around to see it". But of course, it multiplies my feelings of guilt for everyone else involved and sorrow at his lack of coping skills. I just don't get what he doesn't get. But that's the nature of the beast. Instead of being courageous enough to start his new life with a clean slate, he's feeding his insecurities. Ugh. Stomach is in knots. [/QUOTE]
