[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 495764"] Thank you for all your support and giving me a place I can come to and express all my fears and feelings. I am hanging in there. We have not heard a word since Thursday. My gut says this means he is not feeling desperate because when he is desperate he calls us. He may have gotten the message we won't help but given how much we have helped him in the past I doubt that is it. I am checking his phone records... he has not made many calls... a couple to the insurance co which is interesting. He is texting up a storm though as usual. But you are not going to use texting to get a hold of places for help. And as my husband said this morning he usually is not in contact when he is doing things he knows we would not agree with. So my fear as Nancy alluded to is that he is getting into heroin....I suspect that is where he is headed if he doesn't get help. Scares me a lot.... but really there is not anything I can do about it. And Kathy you are probably right he has probably found some sympathetic drug users to help him out for now... how long that will last I don't know. I suspect I won't hear from him until Wednesday or so when he will get in touch hoping we will put another $75 on the grocery card. I think at that point we will have to say no... thought hat is going to be hard. The one good thing about not hearing from him is I don't hear the desperation and pleading in his voice that just pulls so hard at my heart strings. I really hope he hits bottom soon... and then gets himself some help. I hope at that point he at least has the decency to let us know he is ok. I am really tempted to text him and ask him if he is ok but I think that is opening myself up to the pleading texts and phone calls for help and I really don't want to go there. It is hard and awful.... and I am trying my best to just keep going forward with my life. Certainly puts a damper on my mood though.... but it is not as bad as it would have been a year ago.
