Hey guys, sorry I'm so out of the loop- last time I checked in, we were thinking of all getting together in August. Maybe somewhere out east/midwest? Please let me know if this is still happening or has happened. I place the highest value on seeing the people in real life who supported and...

...and I'm wondering if it's okay to refer some posters to it. Not as a bid for attention, or a false kind of "This can happen to YOU, if you do/don't do what I did"... It's just that I used to come here to read or post on a regular basis and sometimes, I never found out what happened to the...

Hello, to my good friends. I haven't been on here for a while and haven't had the "need" to, since Aaron died. That's not really true-I haven't found the support that equals anything like I had here, when he was alive and we were all going through such hell. It's 9 months today since he was...

Found crumpled up on someone's front yard a few hours ago. Autopsy tomorrow. No real details yet. I am on vacation in Spain but will be flying back tomorrow. There are no words...

Difficult Child was getting into so much trouble in Boulder and then Denver (people trying to kill him, he said-could be drug/booze fuelled psychosis) that his dad bought him a ticket to Vegas, where he lives, and then they left the next day to drive to San Diego , where Difficult Child was born. Dad is staying with him...

There's no saving him, but I can't see this cycle ending -okay, then not, then drunk, then high on heroin and crystal meth. Couch surfing, sleeping under a bush, in a shelter, then in detox and back out on the streets, nowhere to go, unmedicated. Help from resources, case workers, in line for...

Called from the psychiatric hospital. Only way that will save him if he can live with me or his dad and he knows that's not going to happen. Is tired of the struggle. I don't know what to say. He's ready to die. Do I go against my promise to myself that I'd never live with him again? I don't even...

Just heard from CD, who is still in Colorado, but living with a friend in exchange for doing household chores. Is in the mountains, nice place, bed, roof over his head,good food, TV IN HIS ROOM, completely comfortable surroundings. Gets taken on trips and evenings out with the friend and his...

Got a call from Difficult Child, he was so miserable, hopeless, feeling like he is going to die soon. Doesn't have the courage to take his own life, but thinks he's just going to drink and drug till it ends his life. He says he doesn't hold out any hope for change for himself and that his track record proves...

...and he's in again. Didn't have any money on the account, but the online booking report says his charges are obstructing a peace officer and disorderly conduct, so I'm guessing he had been drinking. Guys, I JUST SAW HIM! I was out there for a week and he was doing pretty well, has a new girlfriend...

...they recover from (I'm assuming he's going to, this time) a crystal meth overdose? Hi, it's your fairweather friend, blackgnat. Just woke up to an email from his ex girlfriend's ma. Sayng she had just taken him to the ER because he'd overdosed on crystal meth and had been throwing up all day. She...

I just keep on bouncing back and forth between acceptance, ambivalence, weak detachment and then enabling-my ex and Dcs exgf's mom seem to get it. He has had SO many chances to improve his lot, but doesn't seem to be able or willing to follow through. I read on here with envy, all the posts by...

So briefly, Difficult Child cracks up last Monday (isn't drinking, is on Antabuse and the vivitrol shot) but is doubtless drugging. Gets taken to a psychiatric hospital 40 minutes away. Can't remember a thing. Stays there a week and is released into a respite bed , which he can have for a couple of weeks, while...

And how can I live with the fact that he may not? Any experience from the warriors?

Hi all, haven't been here for a while-have actually just come back from a month in England (the Motherland) and Norway!(Retirement money being well spent-it was beautiful!) Was without technology for most of that time and I'm glad, though of course I catastrophized about Difficult Child being found dead...

After 17 days, he doesn't think he can take it anymore. He DID go today to the Mental Health place to try and change his medications, so he can be numbed to the realities of the mission, but didn't get anywhere. Too many people drinking and drugging outside the mission, getting aggravation from some...

I just feel like my Difficult Child is going to die soon. He is bouncing back and forth to detox and coming out and drinking right away. Saying he can't do it any more. He seems paralysed, no coping skills to put him on the right path. Yesterday he called -his street buddy who is obviously a loose cannon...

I left Colorado, got back to Illinois, and a couple of days ago, Difficult Child called and told me he wanted to go to live in Providence, RI with his newly found friend RT. I met RT several times and felt that he is a good guy who is a good "match" for my son. My ex had told Difficult Child that he would pay for a bus...

So guys, I'm in Colorado right now-I combined a visit to see my sons with a job interview. Got the job, but turned it down because I seriously cannot handle the family dynamic. Ex husband and Easy Child live together. Difficult Child is currently out of jail, wandering the streets panhandling during the day and...

I just heard from the exgf's mother that my Difficult Child called her and they are going to meet tonight. She says that he asked if she could help him "one more time before I leave" When she asked him where he was going, he said " Home, to Illinois." He told her that he knows people here and that if he's...
