[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 730048, member: 22877"] I've been doing the hanging up and not answering the calls thing for quite some time now. It doesn't seem to have much impact, but I guess all I can do is keep doing it. Totally agree, if he wants to talk to me...and especially if he wants something from me...he can learn to be courteous and respectful or do without my help or even, as you said, the privilege of my time. He's told me that they aren't allowed to have cell phones in rehab but that when they get passes to leave for a day or whatever they can take their phones with them. That sounds a little fishy to me but I don't even know the name of the facility to call and verify that what he told me is true. I might hold off on sending him the phone (if i do at all now) until I can talk to someone in authority. It also seems fish they they get passes to go out alone, even for a doctor's appointment, because that would be the prefect time to score drugs to smuggle back in. And I know from having friends in rehab "back in the day" that yes there are drugs available in those places. One friend even told me that some of the night nurses would bring in weed and smoke with the patients. Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad your tactics are working with your own kids. All I can do is keep on doing what I'm doing and hope that someday it has an impact. [/QUOTE]
