Feeling a little low right now.

A number of years ago, ds got himself into a bucketful of trouble. He was doing substances he shouldn't have been doing, stuff he shouldn't have been doing, and drinking a lot. Through day treatment and some time in a facility, he has gotten on the right track. Ya know, though, that stuff has a way of never letting you alone. Last Friday, one of the boys that used to be in that life hung himself in his jail cell. Now my son is really bummed. The viewing and funeral are going to be private and he has no way to mourn.

Also, his present roommate, who I did not want him to room with, got out of jail last month. My son had another guy rooming with him from about November until now. The jail guy is back just kind of camping out in the living room. Ds got home today to find him hanging out the window shouting at the police with the machine guns surrounding the place. There weren't any. The apartment complex is on him about this guy, and I can't blame them. I think that the boy's mom is in Michigan and his brother is in Cancun. Here's my boy bearing the brunt.

I need you to know that this family is not the type that is EVER visited by the police or has anything to do with the law, except that I drive too fast. lol This has been a very painful and disconcerting 6 years for us. Now that we thought we were over it, WHAM, here we go all over again.

Finally, today ds got a letter from the District Court of Philadelphia to report to jury duty in August. That is when we have booked him a little vacation to CO.

Apparently, this is all my fault, although I am at a loss as to why. Ds is coming home tonight so we can work some things out. The last thing he said about 10 minutes ago was that I needed to stay home more. How that would solve any of this is beyond me. I may not be leaving tomorrow and I am pretty sad about that, but if he needs me, I will stay here.

Really Blue
