Well that didn't last long..
I posted several days ago that my son was going into a 180 day Salvation Army rehab/work program. I heard from him when he got there and wished him success and told him I believed he could change his life in such a program. It is long enough & comprehensive enough. He got there about 3 days ago. I got this message today: "well you were right about that not working out." So he already left or got kicked out. And, he's still trying to hang it on me..I said no such thing about it not working out. I heard he's frantically trying to get a ride and he's trying to get back here. This program was a clean, safe place with a bed, food & clothing. If he is so desperate on the streets why would he leave to go back there? My 180 day respite and peace of mind for my daughter's wedding just flew out the window..

In Response to: Well that didn't last long.. Well that is a bummer! I was hoping and praying that he'd stay in the program long enough to give you a break at the very least. Posted: 10/08/2015 9:22 PM

In Response to: Well that didn't last long.. Hi Anna, I have tried a lot of different responses over the years. He is very persistent, I say he hangs on with an iron grip. I used to think he was hanging on for love, support & connection. Now I have come to see that the last few years he is hanging on for anything he can get that will allow him to continue in his addiction. Posted: 10/09/2015 4:29 PM
