Other than a couple of posts in Jan and May, I have not even snuck a peek at the forum due to family issue.
Well, it was our son. We have literally been baby sitting him for the last 7 months due to drug and alcohol addiction. He Overdosed on (Friday into) Saturday morning at 1:19 a.m.
We worried all day Saturday but hubby and I never said the words. He ALWAYS responded to the texts we sent asking are ou ok? He would respond "yes, don't worry home in a while" which usually meant I am in a state you can't know about. But he ALWAYS responded., but not all day Saturday. No credit card or bank transactions or phone activity after Friday night. ( I have access to all)
But we didn't know until Sunday 11 a.m. when we went to Police Dept, And they had a record of it.
He left Fri night at 9 when he got a text from a girl he had met 2-3 times, and we let him go with promises of behavior. It was rare we let him go out alone.
I texted him at 11 pm Friday and asked 'eta?' And he said 3 hrs.
Me: how about sooner? Response "ok, 2-3 hrs. I am not drinking and don't want to"
I responded with "glad
"
2 people drove him to hospital in our truck,and 'vamoosed' is what police said.
And at 1:19a.m. He was gone
He had made soooo much progress and was off drugs for 5 months. We had a lot of great fun in between the binges. He and I were VERY close. Hubby was a great dad but more of the disciplinarian and harder for him to show the 'let's have a fun, no lesson learned' moment.
He was a Army Veteran and is being interred We'd 8/9, at National Veterans Cemetary in Bourne, Ma where we are for the summer. He was born in Boston on July 3, 1978 and loved his 1/2 Irish heritage and Boston. We feel he would be at home here.
We are broken..
