[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 692951, member: 15032"] Thanks for all for your replies. I am not on CD on the weekends. My son called me from detox Friday and told me a few things that were upsetting: 1. His girlfriend was giving him her mom's pills. OMG I cannot believe this and I don't want to know it. We just sent her an $80 bouquet of flowers for her 18th birthday (which is tomorrow). He asked me to do it before I found this out. He said she saved his life but I then told him she is also partly responsible. Just my luck he has to meet a girl that has a mom that has a friggin pharmacy in her bedroom! My husband and I both know how manipulative our son is so we hesitate to put a lot of blame on her. I feel she is young and in love with him and would do anything to please him. He said he won't go to her house anymore because of the pills her mom has. So what do I do now? Do I have a chat with her about giving him the pills or do I let it go? Do I leave it up to him? I see on her FB page that she goes to a Christian school and in my opinion very wholesome. Doesn't even wear makeup. My son says she is a wonderful person. He never has said that to me before about anyone. She is his only friend there. She took care of everything when he overdosed and he (and we) are very grateful. I imagine she learned a lesson from this. 2. He told me he got a traffic ticket and it was in his car. Said he turned down a one way on accident and was trying to turn around and got pulled over. Told police officer that he was new to area blah blah and she was not nice. We asked his house manager to get the ticket out of the car so he wouldn't miss court date. Well he had 2 tickets. One was for going the wrong way down a one way street and the other was for an OPEN BEER in the car. This was the same day he overdosed (Father's Day). He was on a binge of taking pills for a week and that was his grand finale. My husband is fit to be tied. His insurance is already expensive and now this. I know I know. We never should have sent the car there for him but we were being optimistic. He did well for four months. When do you know when something is the right thing to do??? My son knew that we would find out what the tickets were really for since his house manager had to get the keys from him in detox. He did not even call me on Saturday which was my birthday. I know he was afraid to call because of the whole car situation. I had a good cry Saturday night after my older son gave me flowers (and after I had a few martinis at dinner). I know he doesn't want to be like this. He called yesterday but I missed the call. I told him on Friday that he is trying to destroy himself. He said he is not! He is there now and healthy and happy.
