[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 718775, member: 18958"] My son called from a psychiatric hospital today. He was about to be discharged. All confirmed. He says he was robbed at gunpoint last night, felt suicidal, and was discharged he says because he refused strong medications. He said he had no money (this on top of homeless.) He said. Oh by the way. I had been thinking of visiting. I replied. You know where we stand. We are here to support you when you want to work on change. Treatment. No drugs. The goal of productivity. We will not accept you here on drugs. Mom. I was held up at gunpoint. J. Yes. Things do happen sometimes due to blind fate. As much or more they happen due to our own lifestyle choices. Around midnight last night m received two calls from the area he is homeless. An unknown number. I called it after speaking with my son. It is an all night mini mart. He might have gone there to buy drugs. Or maybe it was a coincidence. I am terrified he may be into harder drugs. It boils down to this: I tried everything I could think of to do while he was here. He did not want what I wanted for him. My wanting does nothing. We all know that. I know why you are trying so hard. You are using your body as a bridge. In the chance this may give him a shot. You are like a human shield. This is why it hurts so much. I do not believe right now you have real expectations of him. It is more that it hurts so bad to ask of yourself and endure what you have chosen to do. Albatross is a real friend. To the extent you can protect yourself by limiting where you are exposed, the better. I am with you. Miles and miles away. [/QUOTE]
