He withdrew the month's money today (same as last month). He owed me $100 of it & had agreed to pay me if out of this money. (I view this as a good 'measuring post' for him and for me to see where he's at.)

I went to his place on my way to an appointment & when he said he'd used 'my' money I said that he needs to be in rehab NOW.

He said he wants to go to hospital. I asked if it was psychosis symptoms he said yeah, that he'd been feeling suicidal. He said he needed a few hours sleep first, so we agreed that I'd phone him or go over at 3.

I feel sorta weird that I didn't insist on going then.

Selftalk: what kind of person ARE you?

Here your kid's saying they're suicidal & you say you'll call him later.

But I asked him if he was safe right now & he said yes that he really needs to sleep.

When I called him at 3 as agreed, he said he needs more sleep & I said I'd call him at 5 & was that OK & he said yes.

Well my 'Mom' alarm bells aren't going off as to the suicidal part.

He's bigger & stronger than me .... am I going to manhandle him?

He wasn't saying he is in immenent danger.

He did ask for immediate help finding a safe place while he was in Vancouver, so I know he has been able to recognize that in the past.

I feel badly for posting all this drama! I feel like people must get sick of hearing all this from me. But then I think, well if they see it's a post from me they know my life seems to be filled with drama & can choose not to read it.
