[QUOTE="jenbug, post: 57854, member: 3809"] I know,I know,I know.... I think we have been in denial. We get lulled into thinking everything is going fine and then BAM! he does it again. I normally do sleep with my purse and I have a lock box for any medication here that he could possibly abuse or "get high" on. My husband said he is going to wire an alarm and until we do, we alternate sleeping on the couch - as he would have to go through the living room to get to either door. He did this the night before we were to leave on vacation for the 4th. I told him we would deal with it when we came back. The night we did come back he assumed all had been forgotten and he asked to "chill" with a friend. I told him that we hadn't forgotten about the "incident" and no, he could not go "chill". He left the house anyway and stayed out all night and we had to call the police. He finally came home the next morning. That's when we had the "calm" conversation and I felt it was a success since he opened up so much. He is in counseling (we all are) and I told his therapist all about it. He has an appointment tomorrow. We're also sending him on a month long Intercept program through Outward Bound in August. My husband I learning that he really has a disability and that we need to behave accordingly. Thanks for all of your comments and support, this board has been a godsend! PS: Marcie- I have a pitbull mix also-he's the sweetest bull in a china shop that I've ever met.... [/QUOTE]
