[QUOTE="Eugenia, post: 707357, member: 21226"] thank you I did start a new thread because things went from bad to worse... He finally called us on Sunday, from the local public hospital, where he's done rehab before and is a safe place to land when you say your suicidal.... he's been admitted there multiple times for this reason. Never cry wolf, but I think he uses it for a place to stay, he knows he can't be denied a bed when he says he's suicidal. He knows how to play ALL the games, although he is depressed, because he's an addict. Husband asked if he could speak to his counselor at the hospital, it's someone we have spoken to in the past, since he's been at this hospital quite a few times now, including the Rehab stint there, but Son denies access, it's his right, he knows that. He's in violation of his probation, but has a wonderful, caring PO, who actually found him a long term facility in our state of NJ. Son says he's tired of living this way and is willing to go, it's what he needs, he says. So I pack according to the website allowable items, take a half day from work to do so (thankfully I work in a very supportive environment with people who are aware of our family situation). Tells Husband that he just needs to make one quick stop in Paterson, to make things 'right' with dealers, and he's ready to go. Tells husband he'll be back in 20 minutes, never returns. Fearing he's been killed by the dealers (Paterson is a rough area with gangs and dealers, and his life was threatened there once before, so he cried to us, $1500 later, we paid his debt to save his life?) we didn't hear from him until the next morning.... Says he was beat up but now ready to go. Tells Husband he still owes more money, Husband foolishly gives him $ and brings him back.... and he's gone again.... it's been 36 hours, no word. Fearing the worst... beat up, killed, OD'd, suicide, or just running from treatment, I pray it's the later.... [/QUOTE]
