[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 442063, member: 3305"] I'm trying to stay strong...it's not easy for sure. It was very difficult to see young difficult child in the hospital and barely getting around except for the wheel chair. The back injury (fractured vertebre and even a couple of herniated discs) is real. But it's like so is the pacemaker young difficult child got after he came home from the Army and the shoulder surgery he had while in the Army, etc. And all of this even starts to make me wonder which came first...the injury or the desire to get more pain medications. I mean I'm starting to think young difficult child might be intentionally hurting himself in order to get these drugs! So he's not "making stuff up"...but yet all indications are that he is living for the pain medications. I know he went to the ER twice last week. One of those time was clear across town...likely because he already has been to the local ER so many times that they might be catching onto him. Last week he apparently got into an arguement with his wife and husband and I found him at our house on the floor of one of our bedrooms the next morning. He had gone to the ER and drove himself home after the ER gave him pain medications. The hospital called the police and the police came to his mother in law (where he wife and grandbabies have been staying recently). Young difficult child told his wife to lie for him to tell the police that SHE drove him home not that he drove himself home. Guess the hospital could have been liable if he had gotten in a car accident. I have barely heard from young difficult child all week except to call and ask me for money...to the best of my knowledge he has not entered any kind of sub abuse program. I even told him of one a week ago that is top notch according to one of my mothers' friends. He said his Medicaid would only pay for certain ones and that he already had one in mind. I don't think he is serious about getting help at this time. We offered to pay the rent on their apt (and did so last month) but they also owed overdue fees and water and elec which we did not pay for...so they thought their water and elec were cut off and so haven't been "living" at the apt but rather mother in law's house. mother in law said the only reason she let him back into her house was because he (after being in the hospital a week) showed up on her doorstep dropped off by a "hospital paid for" Taxi in a back brace looking for his wife and kids. She said she couldn't turn him away at the time even though she had previously banned him from her house for all of the thievery she believes (and so do I) that he was involved with using her Credit Cards, etc. This time young difficult child has GOT to hit bottom. I really think he's going to end up in a homeless shelter or possibly end up with being forcefully hospitalized, I dunno. But if he makes threats of suicide (like he has many times in the past) I may just call authorities and have them pick him up. This has gone on long enough...over 3 yrs now and it's effecting the grandbabies as well. mother in law told me on the phone a few nights ago that she came into the house and my grandson told her that M and J were fighting. He did not say "mom and dad" but referred to them by their given names...was very disturbing for mother in law and myself. I'm sorry that people like young difficult child make it harder for everyone else to get pain medications. This cycle has got to come to an end soon. LMS [/QUOTE]
