[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 492723, member: 59"] Ostate he wouldn't get out of the car because you called his bluff and he knew he couldn't pass the test, plain and simply. He tried to blame it on you but that was deflection. Just like TL said, this conversation took place in our case also. I took difficult child several times for drug tests on the spur of the moment. When she was willing to go I knew she was clean, and the test proved it. When she was unwilling to go I knew she used, and it did finally come out that way. I have dropped off my difficult child at movie theaters, in the middle of the road, at friends houses, many places with her slamming the door so hard I thought it would break off and calling me all kinds of names. I have refused to pick her up from work or take her places I knew she would get high at. She has threatened to walk in front of a car and kill herself if I didn't pick her up. I have locked her out of the house and kicked her out in a snowstorm. And at every turn my heart was breaking and all I wanted to do was hug her and make it all better but I couldn't, only she could do that and only after she got sober. I hope the al-anon meeting helped. Your goal is to get him help but the journey there is more difficult than anything you can imagine. Stay strong. Nancy [/QUOTE]
