[QUOTE="kt4394, post: 685652, member: 20273"] Thanks, again. I really appreciate the support. Just an update, today he was transferred and admitted to a psychiatric hospital. This admission isn't for the substance abuse, just for the underlying issues, but hoping it will help. I think the anxiety and depression had a lot to do with why he started with drugs in the first place and although I think the drugs are the bigger issue right now, I think it's better than nothing. He could certainly use the help. I haven't spoken to him, but my husband went in to sign papers and did speak to him a bit. Here comes the next hard part - I want to try to step back, not go in to see him every day like I want to, and just let him take the treatment and maybe miss us a little. We do have to bring him some clothes and other stuff tomorrow and my older son wants to see him because he's going away until mid-next week. Hoping my husband will go in with my other son because I just don't know I can handle it right now. It's a minute to minute thing for me. I never thought I could cry this much. It's hard to stay strong or at least look the part. I appreciate being able to vent it here though. [/QUOTE]
