Not shocking, but SD relapsed. She checked herself into a detox a couple weeks ago, got out and went to a recovery house which she got kicked out of after less than 2 weeks. Went to another recovery house a couple days ago and they told her she had to go back to detox or she couldn't stay.
Well...she was supposedly following (in her car) a housemate who works for a detox center to check in yesterday morning. Housemate said she veered off in a different direction, texted she would meet her there later and then disappeared. Wouldn't answer anyone's calls or texts. Her mom and dad both thought she was dead. I thought she was playing games to drive them crazy.
Turns out she was arrested for a myriad of charges involving driving under the influence, running over road signs, driving the wrong way down the highway, etc. We only found out because hubs filed a missing person's report. Luckily no one was hurt and the car has minimal damage.
Anyway, she was so completely wasted and the usual bs happened with her throwing tantrums, threatening to run away, live on the streets, hoping to get hit by a car, blah, blah, blah.
The real miracle that happened yesterday was that hubs, the ultimate enabler, turned the corner. Or should I say, turned the whole block. He's so done. He's taking the car away, not giving her any money, etc. I told him the only response to give if she calls complaining about being homeless and hungry, etc is "I'm sure you will work it all out. I love you." I think he finally gets it!!
