I am so sorry...for all of you.
You know....he could "dust himself off" and go on from there....if not....you know the routine....we"ll all say a prayer, and turn it over to his HP. :o)

Thank you all for keeping Trevor in your prayers. It means a lot to me. Prayer is our only source of hope.
Hope213, the prison took him OFF the bipolar meds he was on. They refused to treat him for bipolar, and would only give him anti-depressants. Trevor stopped taking them shortly after he went to prison. All the work to get him stabilized in Mass went to h*ll once the judge took him out of the rehab and ordered him back to RI where there was no bed available. What a system...
Thank you again, friends....My prayers remain with you and yours also...
Shalom!

Just as in all you do, you have done more then most would.
You have gone beyond giving it your best shot.
Leave it in Trevor's hands to deal with his issues seems like it may be the thing to do at this point. He has made his choices.

Thanks, Best...
I found out from Bill that Trevor's no longer at the 1/2 way house. He slept in the park last night. Tonight, he called Bill to ask him to call someone else for a ride to their house. I don't know.... Anyway, I suppose the number is a moot point now....
Shalom!

If I may step aside in my own recovery for but a moment...
Maybe bill is the one you need take your phone number away from.
It must be double the frustration with the ummm help? he gives?

Thanks, CMC...
Best, you make sense...
And yes, his actions can be very frustrating. He just stubbornly clings to his unhelpful behavior and refuses to change, despite his heart attack and everything else. This will kill him too, if he doesn't learn.
Ya know, I found an old letter yesteday, while cleaning up some papers. It was to Trevor. It was filled with codie rage at him. LOL! I looked at it and was astonished at how much I've changed. So, I guess ...no...I know, that things could be much worse.
The letter was dated 2001!

My heart sank as I read the title to this thread. Darn, Teach, I just hate this for him and for you.
But I'm thankful you know the drill and have come so far in your recovery. You've been a great example to all on here on how to work your recovery when life seems to be at its worst.
And for Trevor, I'm continuing to keep him in my prayers. And you, too, of course.
Hugs,
Hangin' In

Well dammit dammit dammit.
Teach, I am so sorry this happened. Some of our kids are just more determined than others... they think that there is ONE more way they can get around the system and do it their way. Hopefully he'll get this last bit of research out of his system and will ultimately get the help he needs.
In the meantime, be extra sweet to yourself. This has been a long and frustrating time for you. I've watched you grow in your recovery the past few yrs, and it's shining now. You're probably thinking your flame is wobbling a bit, but the truth is it's shining strong and bright for the rest of us.
Much love and hugs
Cat.
PS I could probably rustle up someone to go kick him (OR your ex) in the shins, but only if you think it would make you feel better....

Wow, teach, what a sad surprise. Then again, this is what addicts do.... But there is hope. There is always hope.
My hope for you is to find incomprehensible serenity in the midst of this chaos. To be still and know. To feel your faith with every breath you take.
My hope for Treavor is the same for all who suffer with this disease. That he stand at that turning point and really, truly, deeply surrender. He CAN recover, teach, despite jail, his meds, his past and his disease. We all can.
I pray for you and for Treavor and for all whose lives are touched by this disease. I pray for serenity and comfort and faith and peace.
Rest well, dear one. Lay down your burden and just rest.

Teach,
i know the pain of watching your son make bad choices. I'm so sorry. But I also know the wisdom you have because you have shared it with me in my struggle. Thanks for all you have shared and I pray that you can have the strenght to make it through just one day at a time.

Teach, i'm so sorry. Does prison do anything to help them when they get out? I mean they go from so much supervision to a tuck & roll your outta here. my stepdaughters aunt is going to take in her nephew that will be getting out in May. he has been in for a few years. His wife is a stripper, so he has to stay away from her. I don't know, I wish the system would help them prepare for being on the outside again. I wish your son well & hope he gets back on track. Sending hugs & prayers.
