My daughter didn't leave with H this morning to drive to Beaumont, TX which is a 1.5 hr commute each way. It's a total of 3 hr. driving time (at best, without any congestion or road accidents). He could even drive across the border to Louisiana into the worst swamps and bar dives around and still get back home before midnight if he left early enough.

We do have a safe car here to drive (thankfully). When I am calmer, if I must drive to the psych hospital, a Texas learner's permit driver like my 17 yr. old daughter could drive me there in a pinch even though it is illegal for her to drive with an incapitated adult here. (Texas!! Goodness! Be glad you are not joining me!). Probably a police driver could stop her before we had an accident and take me there himself. Or she'll be smarter and diall 911 instead.
