Thanks. I put you on my gratitude list this evening. Your long, thoughtful responses are wonderful. I'm just hungry for someone I can throw around ideas with who won't suggest I force medications or kick him out.

I spoke with my therapist tonight. She agreed that calling the police was the right thing to do last night. And she told me I wasn't crazy for being willing to have him back. She also told me that the homeless shelter here is very good and compassionate - should he end up there. She's had clients there. She's trying to think of someplace he could go other than my home. So mentioned that Will Hall believes that a person in recovery shouldn't be in his parent's home, because they'll trigger each other. That's certainly been my experience. She mentioned a Soteria House in Alaska. She said the other places she could think of were very expensive.

I haven't heard from him at all since he left here yesterday. My understanding is the hearing was to be this evening. The jailer estimated around 5 pm; it's 7 here now. I'm assuming if they were going to release him he'd be on the horn asking me to come get him. So I guess they're holding on to him a while longer. I hope he's safe and not hallucinating too badly.

I understand he would have to initiate any calls, so I'll have to wait.
