[QUOTE="healinginside, post: 763504, member: 29962"] Absolutely agree that there is so much work that needs to be done. He is in the detox phase right now, continuing with inpatient and the plan we talked about following this is sober living (with mental health counseling). I had to send an Uber to take my son to the rehab facility that was two hours away. I could not trust my ex-husband to do it or his parents. Very long story short...the Uber wouldn't be arriving for 30 minutes and I said stay on the phone with me, let's FaceTime while you wait. We FaceTimed and talked about several traumatic events that he has gone through since college in 2017. A few days ago, he started saying he wanted to get sober. I was rereading our messages that I had on messenger stretching back to 2020 when his longtime girlfriend finally had enough and broke up with him. I realize now that he had a mental health break when that happened. We thought it was just a bad break up but now I realize it is so much more. I think just the existence of social media makes break ups so much more difficult than anything I ever faced as a young adult. With the pandas piled on top of all of this, it was a disaster. If it were just drugs that were the problem, it would be easier to fix. Drugs just cover up the self loathing, pain, dealing with problems. I also know that the drugs are causing or exasperating his mental health issues. Thank you for the support, Crayola, every bit helps right now and it means the world to me. In the end, only he can do it for himself. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 [/QUOTE]
