turned the help down
Yesterday didn't work out as I had hoped. We met with J and his doctor and ...... J refused and became upset. Doctor said he has strong concerns about J since he expressed to him that he has had some suicidal ideation. He also said that depression suicide rates are actually lower than those with addiction issues. J has both. The reason J went to this doctor to begin with was for medication. Medication that he's been letting sit here at home - untouched. After the appointment J said that he doesn't want to stop drinking ~ especially during the summer. Great - didn't come home last night. Things are getting worse but he doesn't seem to care. In fact, he told us that he's used to feeling bad - getting used to it. Wonderful. Again - this is where prayer comes in......
Ironically, today I'm supposed to volunteer at the annual golf outing for suicide prevention. This is my 4th year being involved in this organization - upon discovering J's depression in high school. I knew his depression would come back someday but had no idea that he would develop a drinking problem too. My husband is supposed to golf in this even too. I say "supposed to" because thunderstorms are predicted today and right now it's thundering......... All I can say - by the way things have been going lately - "It's par for the course!"

You\'ve done what you can for now....I hope you can take a bit of comfort in that. Short of hospitalization, you can only stand by.....tough to do!!! Take Care!
