Well it looks like my difficult child is going to end up on the streets tonight!! We got a call from the sober house. difficult child was seen taking a wallet from another resident tonight... someone was missing $20 yesterday and then he was actually observed taking a wallet... and went off property without permission going to the store where he bought the spice last time. So needless to say they are kicking him out tonight. They have given him chances and done everything they can for him.... and he is basically just saying a big F U to all of us.
I know at some point we will be getting that call asking for money, or for us to pay rent at a different place or something. I think we have to just tell him no to all of it. We will continue to pay for the therapist and we probably won't kill his phone.... but other than he is going to have to figure this out on his own.
Gosh I hope I can stick to this when we get that phone call.
I am scared to death that he won't survive.... but at the same time he cannot continue to do these things and survive either. So I know we have to really take a hard line this time.
I suspect the next thing is he will be arrested... I almost hope that happens because I think I would rather have him in jail than on the streets.
At least he is in a warmer climate than he would be up here.
