OK my difficult child made it to CA. This is honestly such a crazy situation! So he gets dropped off at this bus stop in a town, where he has no idea where he is. It is not a great place apparently (according to my friends in CA). I have him call my friend who is helping me and he helps him get his bearings and tells him where to go... meanwhile I have this convo with my difficult child via text where he says he is going to have to lie and tell them he is a junkie to get into treatment. That he hasnt used anything but weed in weeks... I mention to him on FB that he certainly sounds like an addict... he says he is just copying some posts from some other website. Well I point out he certainly gives the impression of an addict.... and I am perfectly aware that he is likely also lying to me. I have no idea what to believe.
I tell him to be very honest with my friend who has been there and he will help him get into treatment and then into sober living. My friend tells me that his posts certainly make him sound like an addict and if not that he certainly has mental health problems!!!
Then my son texts me that the bus isnt running today and the place he is trying to go is 12 miles away.... I call him and tlak to him and tell him I dont know what to do... he says his phone is dying and hangs up on me. Koi koi koi!!!!
So we just did locate on his phone, saw the area he is in and at least there are starbucks around. I have to just somehow assume that he will figure something out until tomorrow and at least it is warmer than Denver!! The whole thing is driving me crazy and making me feel incredibly anxious. I know he is sick and not feeling well, who knows what he has eaten or if he has any money.... and I have no idea how bad the neighborhood is.
Thing good thoughts to get me and him through the night.
