Ah the ups and downs of this life with my difficult child!!! So yesterday he called and hadn't slept and so wasn't going to go the hospital program he was in. I talked to them and he said he had skipped a urine test they wanted and then didn't come in.... so he needed to come in for the urine test or he would be out of the program. I called and told him that.... and he agreed to go in for it. When I picked him up he looked awful. He said his medications had been stolen at the sober house (great huh) and so he hadn't taken them for 3 days!!! And he wasn't able to sleep.
So I took him and told me to let me know what was going on, if he was going to stay for the day or not that I would wait for him. I waited a couple of hours in the car... he texted me a couple of times. Finally I was getting hot and was going to find him or go to the cafeteria and the social worker called me. She had talked to him and he was being readmitted. He wanted to do it on his own and not have me there... and he didn't want her to tell me the reasons why!!!
So I went over said goodbye, gave him a hug and left. I am wondering what is going on but am very releived he is there and still seems to want help. It has become clear to me there are some serious mental health issues as well as substance abuse going on with him..... I am just praying he will continue to get the help he needs... without it he is going to be really lost.
