Hi Kate- he’s told me he also uses marijuana when he has anxiety. Marijuana is legal where we live, so he wouldn’t have to go to a dealer for that. I truly don’t know if he’s using anything else- addicts lie. Anything is possible at this point, he’s such a mess. I’m pretty sure if he’s using other drugs, it’s going to come out somehow.
I thought I had a pretty good handle on things, but I guess I don’t always. There just always seems to be excuses as to why he can’t do something or complete something. Maybe he truly does have a concussion, he didn’t go to a doctor as he should have, but there’s nothing I can do about it. It just seems like it’s yet another reason to not do the work he needs to do for the PhD that’s slipping away. There’s no way that the PhD is ever going to happen. He was supposed to meet with his director through Zoom last week and canceled. Saw that coming.
He actually had the nerve to say, “I thought that family is there for you when you’re down.” He said he doesn’t understand what he’s done that no one but me will talk to him. Really??
I’ve even had the thought that he’s making all this up because he’s setting up a scenario where he thinks I’ll be forced to take him in, but he’s mistaken there. I know that I can’t physically, mentally or emotionally have him here. I’m just dreading what’s coming..
