[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 605122, member: 15801"] Hi Everyone, OK it might be time for me to work a bit more on detachment. I have been advocating for him with the jail because my son claims they give the medications at 4am and he is not getting up for them. I went to drug court with my son today and had a good talk with her person looking for a placement for him. She is working hard to find him a place. So then during drug court hte judge asked my son what his drug of choice was and he answered heroin!!! Shoot!! On the one hand I am not surprised and on the other hand I am shocked because I really didnt think it had gotten that far!! Then I talked to my contact at the jail who was very nice and he has his case manager working with my difficult child... and her feeling is my son is not really serious about getting help!!! Doesnt really think he has a substance abuse problem. Really and heroin is your drug of choice? And apparently he drinks a lot of alcohol. Oh come on!! I am feeling rather disgusted at this point. We cant all work harder at this than he is!!! He has all these people bending over backwards to help him and he is not willing to do his part? I dont know but earlier I was feeling stunned and now I am feeling kind of mad!! Meanwhile tomorrow I take my easy child off to college!! Exciting and bittersweet. TL [/QUOTE]
