[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 696117, member: 18958"] My quote machine for some reason is not working. Albatross. Or another way to look at entry into the hospital: he smoked up all of his SSI money, was counting on coasting until the first eating our food, and bingo--new check on the first. The only argument against that is that he did call here from the hospital and ask M to give him a phone number--which it turns out was the treatment center. He called 2 x for that number. And he called from the hospital. And he did provide them with what they needed to admit him. If he contacts them again. So he did do something. There is plausibility to your hopefulness, Albatross. Thank you. You know. I did not reach my bottom. Neither I nor M could look ourselves in the mirror letting him slide, let alone backslide. That would make me responsible for his enabling his self-loathing, and lack of hope. How could I do that? Now, Albatross, the jury is still out on whether he will take care of his physical health. He has an appointment Oct 5th in the Big City, not far from where he is hospitalized, but who knows if he will follow through. He has put into jeopardy so many times his life and his relationship with his doctor. It is painful for me to even hold in my mind. You are right about work. At least the vitriol I call up hating it all day, distracts me a little bit from my despair. And my focus is on other mother's difficult child sons--the irony does not escape me--very mentally ill felons. Young and old. Anybody reading this know this: I am loving up your son. And I do it with a smile and a broken heart. SS. Thank you for your support and bucking me up. [/QUOTE]
