[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 480497, member: 1157"] I think *consulting* a lawyer here doesn't hurt, for your own peace of mind. That doesn't mean you have to retain one. I'd be hesitant to do that as well, but it depends on the charge really. This is a tough one.. who's to say he won't blow the bus off, too? I think I'd probably give it a shot, though. I think this is reasonable. I agree with not giving him cash, but I'm leary of putting this responsibility on someone else. But, I'm not familiar with sober houses, is this something they routinely do, as part of their program? (I think you or someone else said that they did). If so, sounds like a good plan. Amen to that. I'm a bit jaded on this one, because I've dealt with manipulative suicidal threats. What I used to tell Oldest was something like, "well you know what you need to do if that's how you are feeling." (i.e., call 911). Quite honestly I had to accept that if she ever follows through on those threats, there won't be much I can do about it. But if your difficult child doesn't have this history, it might be more serious. If you can tell where he's calling from, call 911 yourself. I think the bottom line is, you will support him in anything to do with his recovery. Beyond that, he's on his own. [/QUOTE]
