[QUOTE="Hopingforthe best, post: 694127, member: 12294"] I apologize for taking a while to reply, but i very much appreciate everyone's input. Right after i posted here, he called to say that he had received a call from one of the detox places he had been in touch with that morning and there was a bed available. So i took some time off from work to take him since he didn't have any other way to get there. When i got home he tried again to get money from me to buy pills but i stood my ground. He was really suffering and it was hard to watch but reasoned if he was serious about detox then he wouldn't be looking for a last minute fix. He wanted to see his cousin for a few minutes before we left(big lie) and it took him two hours to get back and by then i was fuming because i wanted to go back to work afterwards. I patiently waited but as soon as we got into the car, all the emotions i felt came rushing out and i cried so hard which led him to say, "mom i am so sorry that i have caused you so much pain, i never meant any of this to happen." I lost a nephew - 10 years old just this week and i think i needed a good cry. Sadly i said many things that i regret but i made it clear that he is not coming back to the house under any pretense of outpatient recovery, told him i didn't want him to call me until he has a plan for getting clean. So far he hasn't called. The detox lasts 6 days so we'll see what he does. I really can't believe we are back to square one after six years of total waste. My head hurts just thinking that now he has graduated to Oxycontin.I feel very sad for him and what could have been. I hope all is not lost and he will find his way back. [/QUOTE]
