Hello, I haven't been around much lately. Just caught up in a relapse with my adult son who lives across the usa.
Should be sober now roughly 20 days after a 5 week drinking binge. He left sober living and the IOP and of course moved to an apartment alone.... took about 4 days and relapse. Finally went back to work this week.
Luckily short term disability was able to help out. After 5 weeks of seeking no help, he had to to save his job basically. So now is sober... His 2 week treatment is complete... Not one counselor will return my call to let me know if he is continuing with an outpatient program or is not unaccountable again.
SO... out of the blue last night he text me asking me if I could send him some links to a new mattress and loveseat... (We had purchased the last ones when he moved back in Aug. to his new place after the girlfriend left)... He told me last night that after all that drinking... he had accidents on the furniture and mattress (Typical- that is why he needed a new mattress in the first place. Even bought a protector for it but he took it off)
I think he thought we would just say we would pay for it but NOPE. Not going there.
So my ? is ..doe anyone know if these 2 items can be professionally cleaned? I was researching and it looks like there are places that would clean the loveseat but I wasn't sure about a mattress.
He also proceeded to state that he is in very bad credit card debt... (When he was sober and in sober living he sweet talked my parents into helping him with his cc debt and they did with the understanding he would pay them back little by little... yep, he never did and now has them racked up again)
I don't even reply to the texts anymore. So disgusted.
