My son called to ask for a ride to the emergency hospital and he'd explain later.

[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 655101, member: 17542"] Oh Copa. As I was reading your post, I was feeling the very strong pull to help him. I have no idea what the answer is. Right now I am figuratively on my knees, saying help. From your time on this forum, I understand that you have tried and tried and here is the outcome. I respect that. All I know is this: my son had to be completely sick and tired. He was sleeping on a bench wrapped in a blanket outside the day shelter. The police had rousted him from every other place in town and finally said they would not bother him if he went there. One night he came to my house for dinner and after dinner I took him back to that place and dropped him off. I have no words to describe what that cost me. From that place he would get up about 2 am and walk to the McDonald's where he was working in order to be there by 4 am. This went on for several months. The agony of all of this is unbearable...nearly. Only because I had tried 1000 things before this was I able to do this. Today he is working full time. He is paying his bills. He has a car, a place to live. He is talking about going back to school to get a better job. We are helping some---I bought him a used washer and dryer last week and we took it to his trailer and installed it. He has said thank you multiple times to us. My son has done it all the hardest possible way because you never could tell him anything. He always thought he knew best. I had to literally completely stop for a long long long time with no deviation at all before he started trying to change his own life. Copa, I am just so sorry that you had to be on that phone call last night. We are here with you circling the wagons around you. [/QUOTE]
