[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 717999, member: 21895"] Hi Copa. The support I have found has truly been a Godsend! I would not be coping st all without him. I agree with you 100%. Son has now been charged with theft. Not certain if it will be over or under a certain value. He is processed on the 14 of September for the new charges and goes to court on the 21st. He is going to be 18 in October so the parental accountability is running out very soon. I sure hope your right but I am rather negative at the moment. We are hanging on by a thread. I spent my whole day filling out forms for his long term rehab placement. He left on Friday and has not come home since. I sent him a text saying this is not acceptable and he is just contrary. We are trying to minimize confrontations until he gets into rehab but I am at my wits end. If he continues to act out and takes any more psychotic turns. We may have to tell him to go to hospital and wait for his rehab bed from there. Or anywhere else than with us. I know right now we are investing more time in his recovery plan than he is. This is the last kick at the can. It won't happen again. I say like a chant, to build my strength. No long term rehab and he can not stay at home. If he can't stay at home his bail will most likely be rescinded/or not. But he will not be able to get himself to court and to bail meeting etc. So he will wind up in jail. The final outcome will probably be an overdose and death. The story is his to write. Once we get this rehab bed sorted the rest is up to him. I am now weary and brain tired after filling in all the forms today. It is an emotionally draining experience to recount the path of his addiction and chaos in our lives. He has court on Thursday for his original charges, and then his rehab worker is going to help him fill out his personal assessment form. If he was capable of filling this out, he wouldn't need long term rehab. His brain is scrambled he does not function normally at all. Cross fingers all goes according to plan. He is to register for school on Tuesday. As I have mentioned he is not in any state to take on a full time course load. We are encouraging him to sign on for 2 courses and he can take them with him to rehab. I don't even think he is capable of that. I just looked at his school report from last year where he barely got 3/6 credits and he was absent 56/88 days and late the majority of the days he went. I have no more energy for this. He raged the other day and said if no one could drive him to school, then he wasn't going to go. It's a KM away, that's less than 1/2 a mile. We sold his car and took him off all of the vehicle insurance. At this point we are asking him not to bring drugs or alcohol into the home. We are buying him cigarettes because we know he can't be trying to quit smoking and reduce his drug and alcohol use. I say reduce because there is no way he can quit on his own. Friday we confronted him about bringing a bottle of whiskey into the house. He pitched a fit. He then started asking for the BB gun (shaped like a hand gun) that we took off of him. Sure son let's just give that right back to you. Ugh! I love my son with all my heart, I know of he does not choose to follow through with rehab that we will have to stand out of his way. No home no phone, no money, no support of any kind. I get stressed just thinking about the strain this process is going to take on us. Going to eat something and head to bed early. I am beat.
