[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 678891, member: 15032"] What a day yesterday. My son did not go to get evaluation like he said but instead went to the ER and told them his kidney hurt. He had kidney surgery a few years ago to reroute a channel and in the past few years if he drinks too much alcohol it flares up. I think he went to get pain medications. Anyway he used our credit card [B]number[/B] at two pharmacies and a gas station. Not sure how that works but we canceled card. When I got home he was asleep but I went in his room and took a large can of beer (still cold) and I saw a prescription pill container that I grabbed that had a small bag of weed in it. He woke up and took the pills from my hand but I could not see if they were his prescription Efexor or something else - didn't have glasses on. I did destroy the weed and beer. He has an active bench warrant for missing a court date in August for texting threats to old girlfriend - he was drunk and she is also another story. We called police to come get him because then I figured we could destroy pills and they said there is NO warrant! I am in shock since they called me twice in past month for him to come in and reschedule court date to get rid of warrant. Husband called and they couldn't find it and even called him back and said NOPE. I do see it on line as inactive but active in another area of web site. Better to let sleeping dogs lie though I think. Ironbutterly yes I hear you but we want him out of the house so were offering this to him and then planned to send him on to sober living or something like that so he can work on himself. Last two times he went to rehab he was 15 and then 17 so now he is 20 so now he is truly an adult so we are hoping this time he'll be more receptive. I jumped on rehab at 15 when he was smoking weed but hindsight I think he was way too young. He (and his family as you know) have been struggling with addiction for almost 5 years. Thank you for your words of wisdom and support New Leaf. As I believe I read on here nothing changes if nothing changes. We are trying so hard to make it stick this time for US and he has to work on himself. I think of a 70 year old couple that has there 35 year old alcoholic son living with them that I met in AA meeting. They were spending all their money on his legal fees and he was still very much an alcoholic. I don't want to be those people. [/QUOTE]
