Dear Deni
I came back to comment on your post but I just keep getting stuck in the hug and the walk. All the rest of it, your son, my son, their parallel stories are just too much to handle right now.
I was able to find out that my son was transported to an inpatient hospital about 6 or 7 hours south of me. I didn't even know that was possible to involuntarily hospitalize somebody and take them that far away. The hospital seems to have a dual diagnosis program, which is what he needs. He is on Medicare and they take that. So far so good.
They must have been pretty certain that they can establish that he can be involuntarily hospitalized for an extended period or they wouldn't have transported him down there. So I guess he will at least detox and be stabilized on medication. He has been delusional for some time. Oh. I have tried to tell myself that these were conspiracy theories but I feel pretty certain that he has become psychotic from heavy marijuana dependence or the marijuana has exacerbated a mood disorder. I hate marijuana so much.
I am just going on and on because I just don't know what to do; how to handle this. But I am counting my blessings. The RN gave me a gift telling me where he is. He must have been so very frightened. He is so paranoid. I can't tell you what a difference it makes for me to have you here. I am sitting in bed, really, with nobody to call. Thank you so very much for caring about me.
