[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 696170, member: 13561"] As always, thanks for the huge support and empathy! I know I'm a bit slow with my replies, but everything can change on a dime with that one. I noticed I was calling him CD instead of Difficult Child! Well, I've called him worse, haha. He is pretty much at the end of his rope (maybe that's the wrong expression) so we've put in calls to his case worker, in the hopes she will really come through. I know he slept rough last night, so he's probably drinking again. The dance continues...I feel guilty at anticipating my road trip with joy-I know I shouldn't do this, but it's like having a pebble in the bottom of your shoe. You can walk around with it, but you know it's there and it hurts. Ugh. Alb, I totally agree with you about the book! People without DCs have NO clue what we go through! I'm not sure they'd believe half of the stories... He did call again later and was in a better mood, having just negotiated getting ANOTHER Colorado ID from the DMV. But he also told me he had $3.20 to last him until Tuesday, so he wouldn't be eating. Hmm. It took me everything I had not to offer money, but I didn't. Because I've been down THAT road many times. Of course, I was beating myself up=what kind of mother doesn't offer resources to feed her child? One who knows that the money wouldn't be spent on food anyway... Hang in, everyone! I will continue to lurk and soak up all your words of wisdom! [/QUOTE]
