I know he went to that rehab but maybe that was not long enough. 30 days is not very long to solidify any type of changes. People have a hard time sticking to a diet for that long nevermind the kind of challenges he is facing.

I'm thinking about this... but I don't know where to find something like it. I already spent $60k on the school in Utah when he was 14-15. And I had to hire the people for $2k who come pick him up and make him go there.
But that school seemed good because they had music and did nature stuff. According to my son though, he did not have a good time the year there, and didn't help his abandonment issues either. He also got in some fights with the other boys. Maybe an all boy place is not the best bet. I like for them to have a balance of boys and girls. But we had good therapy together and he completed a lot of school courses with very good grades.
I don't have that kind of money anymore, I'm up to my ears in hospital bills.
He made a friend at the Utah school, who lives on a ranch somewhere. My son mentioned wanting to go there. Maybe he could go somewhere like that... ughh idk idk... I would miss him and have no idea if he's on drugs again or not.
This all has kind of set me off into a restlessness. Where are the answers, the solutions, there have to be some!
Guess I'll go have a smoke, wish it was warmer outside, at least there are stars out.
I have a new friend btw, she's into the same type of spiritual stuff as me, she's super fit into yoga (good influence for me). We drank some wine last weekend and talked for hours. I told her she seemed a little down, she said she's always like that. Lol, perfect Yay!! She's going to be able to understand when I'm in my funks. Anyway, she's busy with her kids tonight, but I'm happy I might end up with a nice real life friend.
