[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 730493, member: 22877"] Thank you all so much. I am just now reading this because I have been sick with...I don't know...flu? bronchitis?...and am still getting over it. The upside to being sick is that for the past week or so I literally have not had the time or energy to put a lot of thought into my son's drama. I have talked to him a couple of times but briefly and with no commentary from me on his choices. He told me yesterday that he got kicked out of rehab for arguing with a staff member. He said they said he was being aggressive, and he said he was not. I don't really believe him, though. A couple of days before that he told me that some of his friends got kicked out for having alcohol and he was considering quitting. So I'm thinking he either quit and didn't want to tell me that, or he was, in fact, behaving aggressively. I can easily see that happening. I have no idea where he is sleeping tonight and I honestly haven't given it much thought. I'm sure he'll work something out, be it a shelter, someone's couch, or another program. I did put a little money on his transit card so he can get to a job interview tomorrow. I had told him I would send him money for his birthday at the rehab but since that had not happened yet I just put the money on his card instead. He also asked me for money to get back and forth to work, if he gets the job, until his first paycheck. I told him probably not, since the last time we did that, he got fired (or quit?) within the first week. Since he lost his job at the bank he doesn't have a track record that inspires me to help him at all. He doesn't stick with anything or follow through on anything. He has much to prove to me and to himself before I will help him further. And yes I'm wide awake...but this time it's not from worrying over him. My cold/flu medications have me a little hyper and when I lie down I go into coughing fits. I'll probably end up sleeping or dozing sitting up because it's the only way I can breathe without coughing or wheezing. Anyway, thanks again for the supportive comments.
