Trevor's getting out of prison on Thursday. It's been a year and a half.

The last two times I've spokent to him, he went off on me, swearing. I hung up both times.
I understand he's manic.
I just can't deal with it anymore.

He's going to the half way house. His father and I will pay 1/2 for a month. He just asked me for a bike -- before he swore at me, lol!

I think it's best if I just stay away. I don't need a front row seat to this theater...

Shalom!

Just sending prayers and best wishes along with it.
Perhaps he will get medication for his bi polar and between that and the half way house he will find recovery.

That is the hope and there is always that hope.

(((Teach))) Hopefully Trevor will get on the medication that he needs to balance out. I think that you are wise to stay away. Mental illness can be just as much of a challenge as addiction. It is still up to him to get help. Praying for you and for Trevor. Hugs, Marle

Prayers that Trevor can find his way and can get the resources he needs to be well. (((HistoryTeach)))) ((Trevor))

You are both in my prayers, Teach.
I hope you can maintain your peace and serenity...
And I pray that Trevor finds his way.

Sending strength, prayers and hugs....

Thanks for your prayers, everyone.
I'm staying away in the attempt to maintain some serenity. I'd be lying if I said this didn't hurt, though. Because, I'm really coming to an end of what I can tolerate anymore. I've got enough on my plate with my mom being so ill, work and so much more....
But, I will carry on.
Thank you all again....

Shalom!

I hope Trevor makes positive choices for his life. It's all up to him.
Staying away seems a healthy decision. It's never easy teach and I send

I hope that things aren't too hard for you when he gets out. Just make sure you keep your boundaries.
Peace and courage to you, my dear.

He might be just as scared of what will happen on the outside, as you are. I think your plan is good, tell him that you are with him on his recovery and then step back and let him make his own decisions. You are in my thoughts.

Hi Teach. Its so hard isn't it, for our children not to be okay.
I have two to deal with.
I have found that I can deal with them better at a distance.
I don't have to be in the middle of the drama any more.

Hey Teach,

Am keeping you and Trevor in my prayers as Thursday draws near. Will pray that God will put him right where he needs to be and somehow provide him with the medication he needs to level him out.

And I'll pray that God will help you and remind you of all you've learned these past few years. Even though this is hard, I know you are in a much better place now as far as dealing with whatever will happen. Oh Teach, just think if we were where we used to be, recovery wise! Yikes!!!! Makes today look pretty good, doesn't it?

Hugs,
Hangin' In

Teach, I am really rooting for your son, a few years back he gave me some advice on my AS going into the Salvation Army, he knew what I was going thru and he also knew what my AS was looking at and he spoke the truth when I needed to hear it, so I really hope he makes it. And for you I know you are probably scared silly about him dealing with this new chapter in his recovery, especially since for the last year and 1/2 you have known what is happening and that does bring some comfort, so I am praying for you too, you have raised a loving boy/man, he has a good chance. If it goes the other way you know what you have to do because you have already done it before and have helped many others here *including me*, to have the courage to take that necessary step to help them help themselves and to save ourselves when theyr'e addiction reaches that point. I really, really hope and pray it all works out well. peace-blackbird

I pray your son can find what he needs to get his life on track. Having my son come to my house right out of prison really didn't work. You're probably wise to not allow that.
I know he needs help and hope he can find the right sources.
May God bless your family.
