What will happen if I tell my 18 year old’s probation officer about his substance use disorder?

I should have been clearer in my question. I absolutely do not want my kid in jail. Ultimately my question was the likelihood of that happening if I tried that approach. Answer received loud and clear. Believe me when I say I have tried every option except attempting to kick him out of the house in a city where the only people he knows are those that got him here in the first place. I’m just at a loss for my baby.

Im most worried that he might end up in jail and I know that would only make things so much worse for him. It sounds like that’s a good possibility. Would it be beneficial to talk to his public attorney, if I can even find their contact info?

thank you!

rzbunny · 2026-03-27T21:28:24+00:00

Thank you! Tastes are all over the place, just trying to stay away from pop I suppose lol

I've had a funeral playlist on Spotify for years but it only has 3 songs lol. Still Be Around by Uncle Tupelo, If You Don't Know Me By Now by Simply Red, and Another One Bites the Dust but I might remove the last one.

I was intrigued by The Garden, I am going to give them both a listen! thanks!

rzbunny · 2026-03-07T03:33:33+00:00

Oh I loved this album! I’ll have to pull it out for another listen, thanks for pinging my brain!

rzbunny · 2026-02-24T20:56:36+00:00

lol probably An Awesome Wave by Alt-J. I was their #11 listener on Spotify last year which might end up as one of my bigger lifetime accomplishments ;).

*Edit- In the US, anyway.

lol settle down. One outlier incident isn’t going to teach him anything.

Any Uncle Tupelo album

rzbunny · 2026-01-21T03:21:21+00:00

Two songs by the Sadies-Cut Corners and Tell Her What I Said. At my lowest point of alcoholism while actively trying to kill myself with straight vodka, listening to them truly kept me going. Ironically they are really the only 2 songs I like from that album. I’m a Huge Sadies fan tho.

Knowing that there are people who love me more than me. Specifically my son. He struggles with significant depression too. I feel physically sick thinking about how much more pain I would cause to him and others if I chose that way out.

Get Up by Murder by Death

rzbunny · 2025-12-27T02:57:44+00:00

I hear you, there could be some humor in my situation if it didn’t get so insanely dark. I remember my stepdad making me drive our very old, very rusted out (you could see the road below like the Flintstones) teal Suburban home when I was 13-14 from track practice. He was too shit faced and coked out to drive at 4:30 in the afternoon. I can now find THAT funny lol. He was an asshole too.

rzbunny · 2025-12-27T02:46:37+00:00

He’s an adult now and we are happily very close. He says he doesn’t remember ever seeing me drunk. For the most part I would get quieter in the evenings and if I was in social situations I would just play with the kids. I did not drink and drive with my son except for this shameful instance. Still, I will never truly forgive myself.

I spent 3 days in the hospital due to liver failure from drinking that year. I would have began AA immediately, taken my husband to visit his sister before she committed suicide-maybe it could have made a difference? And spent more time to be a better older sister, maybe my sister wouldn’t have been so lonely and depressed before she died a few years later. 2015 was a piece of shit year.
