[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 658019, member: 18958"] JulieAnn, this is not the case. You are not choosing yourself over your son. Not one bit. Your son makes the decisions over his life: To seek treatment, to be clean, compliant with treatment for his liver, living like a human being. Or not. The boat sailed long long ago, on your doing for him...and it working. To me, he showed where he was at with the phone call and the photo. All along he could have called an ambulance and paid nothing...with the affordable care act. He chose not to. Instead he went for maximum shock value. I for one hold him responsible for his cruelty to you. If your son has not left for the emergency hospital in the time period he indicated, and is not calling the ambulance himself, you can call the hotel manager to inform them of the situation: that your son is seriously ill requiring an ambulance. You have a responsibility to your son to hold a line. You are staying tough as much for him as for you. You know he will not change as long as you support his current behavior. He interprets any help from you as a vote for the status quo and uses any resources you send his way to support a drug habit and the lifestyle of a drug addict. I am so sorry this is happening to you. Sometimes these hard, hard things happen for a reason, when looked at later on. They help us get clarity and to set better boundaries. I do not believe your son will die, at least I hope not. But, it is he who needs to choose if he wants to live or die, and what he is going to do about it. Not you. [/QUOTE]
