    Food Yes, No Money

    Son called and wanted to come home and shower. Translation: let me come home and lay around and then get money from you for drugs and alcohol. I offered to bring him food because I know he hasn't eaten. But he declined the food and wanted ten dollars. Guess that's enough to get take the...

    Two steps forward, one step back

    So last week I had the police come out and officially serve and notice my son of my temporary restraining order (I have to get the permanent one shortly). So the week was emotionally hard.

    I finally made a decision and am ready to act

    My 42 year old mentally ill, alcoholic, drug using son will not stay away. He continues to break into either my house or garage during the middle of the night. Since my house is a split type with a bedroom and bathroom on the other end, he is able to get in without me hearing. Or if I do hear...

    I can't break free

    I just came back from dropping my son off at the creek because I told him he had to leave. I made him leave because it dawned on me that he was not eating or drinking....so obviously he was using some kind of drug. He'll sneak back in when I'm asleep. I can't bring myself to call the police...
