[QUOTE="tpowell2, post: 761228, member: 28586"] I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I have read your posts and you are obviously a loving mother so try not to let the things he says to you in his anger, mess with your head. He will probably surface again and contact you. If he is struggling with drugs, perhaps there is an emergency intake center that that can take him in temporarily. If you can find one and convince him to go. Maybe if only the bed and meal as enticement for him. If he behaves in a way that you feel is a threat to himself or anyone else, have him involuntarily committed. It will at least put him in front of a mental health doctor who can assess him. I have had a hard time finding in treatment therapy for my son as while he smokes pot, he doesn’t regularly drink or use any harder drugs, at least to my knowledge. It seems all the in treatment places, in Houston at least, are for people struggling with addiction. I am a problem fixer and hate when I can’t fix something. It sounds like we are all dealing with problems we can’t fix here. I know especially as mothers we want to fix our kids problems - so it feels unnatural to create the distance and stick to what we say we expect from them. [/QUOTE]
