[QUOTE="JKF, post: 584198, member: 12470"] Uggggh I did it. I dropped him off. I was lighthearted and matter of fact with him on the way there while all the while I was slowly dying inside. But I did it. I also set more boundaries. Told him that under no circumstances is he allowed to just drop by whenever. He's not in our town - he's 2 towns over and about 20 min away so there's some distance although not much. I'm going to make some calls on his behalf tomorrow and try to set up some appts for him. The town he's in is our county seat so most services are based from there. I'm trying with all of my might to find some positive in this. I can help him more since he's closer and we can see him more as a family. Maybe that will help him too. To have a family nearby again. And surprisingly I wasn't scared of him at all today. I was sad for him. He seemed defeated and actually admitted to stealing recently which is a big step for him. He NEVER used to admit to anything. Ever. But still - we have a looooong road ahead. A very long one. But we are all ok right now in this moment. Thank you all so much for your support on the most difficult day I've had in months! And RE - as usual you've given me a different perspective. He's definitely not experiencing this like I am. He's off on a new adventure. A new place, new people, new surroundings. He did just try to call collect twice but I had to deny the charges. $9.99 per minute! No way!! Hopefully he's ok and is just calling to tell me he's fine. Uggggh! [/QUOTE]
