Prayers for you ksm!!! Praying this is it for her and she will finally turn it all around.
Finally, an inpatient rehab date!!!
- Thread starter ksm
- Start date
Thank you. I had wanted to leave by 10. But the "show" has started. She said she got a text from her diversion officer that she could check in anytime from 1 to 3. So she is dragging her feet. She's packing dirty clothes because she didn't come home and do laundry. She actually carried in a big armful of dirty clothes from her car (she didn't come home for 4 or 5 days).
Then she left to get cigs about 12 blocks away and was gone an hour...now I'm wondering if she used.
When she was deciding between two different places, she gave me brochures on both. I called the one, without giving my name , and asked generic questions. She can take a 24 pack of pop and keep under her bed. She can take store bought snacks. When I asked her about it, she said she has a list of what she can take and it's not listed. I hinted she should call and ask. She has food stamps benefits. Nope, she won't call. And I'm not letting her know I called 3 weeks ago .
Wednesdays are "shopping days" when they take everyone to a community 12 step program, and 2 or 3 stores, cigs, groceries and a Dollar General store. Sundays they attend one of 3 local churches.
I'm taking her a blanket and pillow and hope she sleeps all the way there. Ksm

Checking on you Ksm! Hope everything works out for both of you. Mine said he would finally go to rehab last night. Hoping it's true! He was supposed to make phone calls today about getting into one but then I've not heard from him all day today and I've not checked. Told him he has to do this himself. Especially since he's two hours from me. I feel no news is good news on days I'm feeling exhausted with it. Really praying all of our kids turn their lives around.
Thanks, MommaTried24. I did get her there and it was exhausting. 6 hours of driving. Luckily, she slept the entire time, waking up only to eat food I ordered at a drive thru.
She must have went on a meth binge the last week. She didn't spend one night here in a week, and until Wednesday, the day she was suppose to leave, did she see her son. She "postponed " her date of admission so she could spend time with her son... when she could have been seeing him everyday!
I am very detached from her, I know it's a survival mode, but my goal was getting her there and now cleaning up and cleaning out her room. Hubby and I are going to move back upstairs, so great grandson has us closer during the night. He has told us he doesn't like sleeping upstairs by himself. She has to go to an Oxford House when she gets out of rehab. Or where ever she goes...just not here! Her diversion officer is to be helping set up Oxford House admission. Which we will have to pay for first month, but she has to get a job and start supporting herself.
It will soon be three years since they moved back and it has not gone well...

I'm glad you made it through the trip with her and that she slept most of the way. It's sad for her son and for you and your family to have to endure this. I'm praying she will finally get clean and be there for him. I'm also grateful he has you but I know it must be extremely hard to raise another child. I'm sorry you're having to work so hard but I'm glad you've been able to detach from her. I hope you can have a peaceful and restful day today. Happy Friday to you.
