Found Again
I don't know how much of this roller coaster ride I can take. My son is found; when he was discharged from St Anthony's Hospital in Denver, they sent him to Arapaho House in Lakewood, which is a detox center. He was there for 48 hours. Since he had no phone and could not remember my phone number, he did not call. They let him out yesterday morning. He called his ex-wife, it was the only number he could remember. She picked him up and he got hold of me through facebook. He knew I would be on-line and I saw him message. I called and explained what I had been through, worried, scared, panicked; Told him the Maureen was looking for him but I didn't know where she was, but knew the general area she was in on Friday evening. Then a couple hours later, Maureen called me. She got scared of the dark and was cold and of course in a manic state, that she said she called 911 and had them get her. Said she was in the hospital getting calm and they gave her bus fare to get her car and now she gave me her location. I reached my son and told him where she was. So as of about 3 PM yesterday, they are together. I know they are alive, together, and hopefully he can convince her that she is safe and they can go back to Fairplay. But he is sober, completely 100% sober and that is good. The best news of all is he is sober and will not slip again, at least not for 4 or 5 months. I think the wedding is off, but who really knows. My friend and I are still leaving tomorrow for Vegas, we have already paid for the room. She really wants to go because this is the last mini vacation she can take until her busy season is over. It is important to her and she has been planning and prepping for this trip. So we are going. I thought I would not be able to attend my classes, but I think since there isn't a wedding, and will have Internet access in the room, I will still attend. Its only an hour, and is important to me. Only a wedding was going to keep me from seminar. I am not so worried now so I can focus on packing for my next week end move, and get my studies done. Wow, what a week. I live a solitary life, but life still keeps happening to those I love all around me. Now, I can just breath........

Oh Peggy, I am familiar with the "family" soaps, believe me. With five adult offspring, you know we have been through dramatic episodes. It is especially hard when you can only worry and keep tabs from a distance.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your friend can enjoy Vegas now.
Seems like you've pretty much been through a bit of hell these last couple of weeks. You definetely deserve a little fun in Vegas! Hope you can relax a bit now that you know where everyone is, and that everyone is safe. Go have some fun.
