[QUOTE="katya02, post: 170984, member: 2884"] Thanks for your advice, everywoman and flowergarden. The psychiatrist told us to get a locking fridge of some sort as well. And he discontinued all anxiety medications and told me to flush whatever we have at home. He talked difficult child into agreeing to go to outpatient rehab, but difficult child was angry. On the way home he started talking about how I had lied (!) in the appointment, and finished by saying "F***ing liar!" to me. I stopped the car and told him to get out and walk home. He sat there in disbelief for a few seconds, then got out and slammed the door so hard the passenger window broke - at least, it won't go up more than halfway now. So he'll have to pay us back for that repair bill, but I don't see how he's ever going to pay us back the thousands that he owes us so far. The psychiatrist did tell him to get a job. I agree, the more husband has to deal directly with difficult child, the stronger a line he takes with him. husband has had to work so much in the past two years that he's literally almost never been home; but starting this month that changes. husband will be home a lot more, thank heaven! Today's the first time I've made difficult child walk home. I should have done it long before this. I thought he'd be gone for a day or two, but he walked up the driveway so quickly that he must have just walked straight home. Guess he didn't want to walk all the way across town to look up his old friends, and without his wallet and phone he'd have to walk. I've confiscated his phone. I don't see why we should pay for it every month when it'll only be used to call up his drinking buddies when he's mad. [/QUOTE]
