Well if he says he wants help...I will have to help him. All the running around may cause my plans to be cancelled. But perhaps I should put my schedule first and let him wait it out until I am free to give him a ride. And you are right...he didn't ask for help. I told him we would help him and support him in his recovery. He said he might need help...but obviously if he was serious about it he would have called back. You're right...he called because he needed help out of his self- created jam with the car. He only calls when he wants something. Dang it. I called all the detox places so I could give him the numbers for him to get help. But do I leave it at that...or do I help him get the help. I feel like my serenity has thrown the coop. If her were older...say in his 20's it would be easier but he's only 18. He didn't even know what a half way house was. O.k. Breathe. Breathe woman. This sucks.
