[QUOTE="ILMS, post: 589564"] We made my difficult child move out, as you know. He has been staying with someone he said was from church (found out that was a lie - I guess he just wanted me to think he was in a safe place). He called me and said he did want to go to college group at our church that night. I said yes, I would. Main reason I wanted him to go is because the leader of the college group is an ex-addict that has really been trying to help him, and I wanted him to be able to talk to him. He took a bus as close to me as he could. We headed to church, but he asked me if he could pick up some clothes from one of the houses he had stayed at. I said yes, I actually believed that is what he wanted to really do! He was careless enough to leave a text on my phone, that said this: "I have to get it and go please sell me sum I have 20$ and I'll be at ur house n bout ten fifteen minutes is that cool. I can't wait any longer." So I took my son to a drug dealer's house!! When I confronted him with it, he said he was getting her to buy him cigarettes because he had lost his license. Such a liar!! So I feel very manipulated and lied to and stupid for falling for his manipulation once again. So I told him I am through taking him anywhere, even church or Celebrate Recovery. If he is serious, he will find a way to get there. I don't want him in my car or at my house anymore. I have no idea who he is staying with, but I am sure it will get old with him not being able to contribute financially as he has no job, no car or driver's license. He is probably selling drugs himself to get money, I don't know where he would have got $20 from. Just had to vent once again. Every time something like this happens, makes me more resolved to not fall for his manipulation anymore. [/QUOTE]
