[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 658245, member: 13561"] Hi guys, thanks for the concerns-I stayed away from the board for a couple of days, because sometimes I realize I am just processing and there's not much anyone can say that hasn't ben said before about my situation, so I don't want people to have to keep giving the same advice (all of it great and enormously comforting and helpful) and wondering why the hell I'm not getting it into my skull. I'm not even sure where I left off-he went back to jail for 10 days and will be getting out on Thursday. I was getting a lot of calls from jail but I didn't feel like talking to him, especially after the vile voicemail. I eventually caved and put $5 on the account and we spoke on Friday. As always, he was extremely contrite and gave me the music to my ears talk-mom, I'm really going to go straight, this is enough-there's a rehab near here and I want to go to it and get sorted. He wants to get a Vivitrol shot, which reduces cravings for alcohol and I think it's a monthly thing. He even talked about going to school and eventually getting a qualification to be a drug and alcohol counselor. I did write the transcript of the vile voicemail, obscenities and all and sent it to my ex and to the exgf's ma. She expressed her sadness at me having to hear such things and that she would still do all she could to help him-she wondered if my therapist thought he was just abusive when he was drunk, as she says he has never been anything but polite and respectful to her when sober. She told him about the horrible phone call and said that he had tears in his eyes when he heard how horrible he had been. Hmm. Me , too.... The rehab he wants to go to does not take Medicaid (Exgf's ma does all the research-she really is amazing in the efforts she puts into finding places for him to go) and she found an article which I will link, about a place that seems pretty good out there in CO. But it looks like it might be his only chance out there and he is still considering the Mission where he was successful, here in Illinois. But I don't think he has made any practical enquiries as to whether they are able to take him in, so it could be all BS. I think he starting to be extremely fearful that the few people who are taking an interest in his life and future and slowly backing off, which is why he's talking the talk. As always, Time will tell. Will keep you posted and am sending cyber hugs to all of you who are fighting this stinking war... [/QUOTE]
