He's going to try to get in another hospital as an inpatient. He was frustrated because my Mom doesn't want to drive across a couple of counties to get him there, so she's calling a friend to drive them. I reminded him that she has a phobia about traffic (after multiple wrecks - I can't really blame her), and just because she won't admit to her anxiety, we should still respect it. He said she says she doesn't understand why he can't just do outpatient, and he was frustrated that she didn't understand. I reminded him she can't possibly understand addiction like that. She's never experienced it, except for maybe coffee. So hopefully I was able to get him to be a bit more understanding about the one person who is willing to help him. He just doesn't understand what she does for him. She buys him cigarettes! Back when I was younger she wouldn't even lend me a few dollars because I might buy cigarettes with them! But anyway, I guess its not the time to complain about life being unfair to ME! Its just... come on!
