Can Things Get Worse??

[DianaB]

We've been going up and down with Damon in rehab. Today he shot that all to pieces.......He checked himself out. Dae Lynn got a call that Damon was leaving and she got on the phone, I'm not sure with who, and by the time she called back they had already delivered him to the bus station. Once that is done he isn't allowed back because paperwork has already been completed.

I guess that some how Damon's been labeled a liar and thief. Some time or another he stole some candy and lied about it, probably today. When they do something wrong they have "restrictions" and he refused his restrictions and checked himself out.

Dae Lynn went up to get him and we told him that he wasn't allowed here so I think that she's taking him to his Mother's house. She doesn't want him there either but she isn't going to have a choice.

I haven't talked to Dae Lynn about what's going on but I have a feeling that this may head for the divorce courts. She really had hopes of him getting better and she doesn't want to continue to live her life like this.

The stupid part is......that he will be out of jail until the paperwork catches up with him......probably a month or month and a half!!!!! He's suppose to be in jail anyway but got off with going to Teen Challenge. I can't believe how stupid all of this is!!!!

I feel so bad for all of you but especially for Dae Lynn and the kids. As bad as divorce can be, she needs out before she is brought down with him. I really was hoping that things would turn around for him, but he has to want it and it's obvious he doesn't want it bad enough. I'm sorry you have to watch your daughter go through the hurt and pain of this situation.

So sorry to hear this Diana. Janet is right though....he has to want to get clean. Hopefully he won't wait until it's too late and has already lost his family before he makes the right decision. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

He isn't ready to do the work he has to, and there is nothing anybody can do about it. Poor Dae Lyn and the kids. My heart breaks for them.

I am keeping all of you in my prayers.

I'm praying for your babies ... Especially Karlie. Stay strong.

Dae Lynn seems to be buying all his lies about how bad it was at rehab. She brought him by here so he could see the kids and I stayed in the house. I really don't have anything to say to him. He's telling Dae Lynn that he really wants to be at Neosho at Teen Challenge........and my reply to that is that he should have gone through the proper channels to have gotten that done. Now he's going to be going to jail and finishing out his sentence there. STUPID!!!!

I guess that Damon's Mom's health has been really bad. I knew that she had been in the hospital a while back with congestive heart failure so she doen't want Damon there either. I'm not sure exactly where Dae Lynn is taking him......I just know that he's NOT staying here. I'm done trying to give him any support until he shows me that he's really wanting to change.

He's just stalling - I agree with Judy, he's not ready for rehab and he doesn't want to be at another facilitiy. If that were all it was, he could have asked for a transfer and done it the proper way. I doubt they will ever take him back anywhere. Yes, I would imagine it was difficult in rehab, that is the nature of rehab programs. Some people never learn - Dae Lynn will learn but maybe not this time. Don't you just want to shake kids sometimes, even when they are grown.
