difficult child texted me at 12:20 am saying she was going to go to the hospital today because she has had bad stomach pains/cramps for four days. So later this morning I texted her and suggested she had pancreatitis from her heavy drinking. She said no she thought it was from not eating. She said she has no food and no money and has just been drinking water for several days. We texted back and forth a bit and I told her to go apply for food stamps and she said she just got another job as a server in one of our downtown hotels but they have to do a background check and drug test. She claims she will pass the drug test but I don't see how since she also said on fb that she smoked a bowl of bud (pot buds I assume) last week.
I called husband out of town and asked if he thought I should buy her some groceries and he called her to try to check out what was going on. They had a long talk and he told her we really wanted to help her but that since she was still so much in denial over the fact that alcohol and drugs have caused these problems any help on our part would be enabling. She told him she was getting a paycheck today from her part time job hostessing at a restaurant but it was only going to be about $150 and she was going to go to the grocery store and buy groceries.
So we decided to hold off for now. I sent her some places to go for food stamps and rent assistance help. She was selling her ipod on craigslist thsi week, the one I gave her when she was in the sober house whch I had engraved "One day at a time. Love, Mom" That broke my heart because I thought it meant something to her. I think she sold her laptop but she claims she didn't....that denial means nothing.
husband and I both said it was heartbreaking but all we can do is wait for her to decide drugs and drinking are the problem.
