[QUOTE="DDD, post: 237065, member: 35"] I have a headache which is unusual. Within the next thirty or so I have to go to the store and takeover. Darn it. At 1 AM easy child/difficult child came home and handed me the key to my car. He left the car where he had gone for a bbq. He was drunk as a skunk. Proudly he told me and his Grandad "you can be proud of me because I called girlfriend to come pick me up so I wouldn't drive". Then he said "girlfriend is in charge of me and I'm going to spend the night at her house." At 2:30 easy child/difficult child calls me and says "Mama please come get me right now.The police are going to take girlfriend to jail for DUI but if you come quick I think they'll let me go home with you". I went. He was right (although he was so obnoxiously smashed that the police threatened him with arrest for disorderly conduct). The drive home took about ten minutes. He was so completely out of it that FOUR times he tried to call girlfriend to talk to her. FOUR times I told him girlfriend is in jail. THREE times he was completely shocked and didn't believe me......the FOURTH time as we came in the kitchen door :frowny: he headed to the phone to call the jail to see if I was right. THEN...he told the woman in booking "Let girlfriend go. I'll get her a safe ride home. You can arrest me instead. I was driving the car." :sad-very: I can't tell you how traumatic it was to hear his little, quiet, 25 y.o. girlfriend screaming and moaning when she realized she was going to jail. She was screaming for easy child/difficult child to come save her. OMG! He begged me to go "post her bail". He begged husband to go "post her bail". He kept saying "you don't understand...she is not the jail type". husband actually heard all the ruckus and came to help me. He steered easy child/difficult child to his bedroom and I called girlfriend's Mother. She had already heard from the booking people and for DUI girlfriend had to stay eight hours. How sad addition is for all of us. I pray that girlfriend will have "hit the bottom" for her alcoholism. I'm sipping chicken soup and nibbling crackers in hopes my head and my stomach settle pronto. :knockedout: DDD [/QUOTE]
