[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 759035, member: 3305"] Hi RN and all…I am doing okay all things considered. I booked a bus ticket last night for son to go back to California this Saturday. He reminded me yesterday that he can put whatever substances he wants in his body. He will go back to being homeless and using Meth. I should have believed his actions when he took a whole bottle of my prescription Gabapentin within the first week he was here! But my heart wanted to believe otherwise. After driving thousands of miles thinking I had rescued my son…saved him from a near death drug induced episode…how could I believe that he wasn’t done? But he wasn’t. Its been 18 years of using…and he has survived a lot…But this time I feel like it may be the last time I see him alive. I told him that the next time he wants a way back home, it will be by his own efforts. We did have all 3 of his children come visit us this past weekend and I know he got to have quality time playing games and goofing around with them. I have considered what I will say if I need to speak at his funeral at some point. His children will need to know how much he truly did love them but was chained to drug use. Son slept outside in the streets of our town last night and will continue to until he leaves Saturday afternoon. He was paid for work he did for husband and he wanted to use Kratom, as usual. I assume he’s been holding a sign up all morning in town so that he can buy more Kratom tonight. As I drove away from my son last night, the song Desperado played on the radio… “ Freedom oh freedom well that’s just some people talking your prison is walking through this world all alone” ...But he has his drugs. How very sad [/QUOTE]
