Had to Buy a Portable Pressure Washer for Clean Up of My Son in My Pkg Lot

My 27-year-old alcoholic son’s back living in his car in my pkg lot ever since Mother’s Day weekend. He made it through 3 days of detox but then we couldn’t find him a bed in rehab anywhere in L.A. There are new rehabs being built with Prop 1 funding but that will take years.

Meanwhile, my son’s been passing out in my pkg lot and vomiting outside his driver’s side door. He’s also vomited down the steps on the back wall of my pkg lot that lead up to a convalescent home.

So, my tough love boundaries have now been pushed. Yes, I got a 3-year restraining order from my home ONLY, not from me. Yes, I petitioned and got a CARE Team for my son that outreaches to him in his car multiple times a week, but what happens when we can’t find him a bed in rehab in L.A.? Who’s fault is that?

My son’s CARE Team came out to see him this morning and said that the rehab in L.A. where my son made it 7 months and 19 days will take him back next week (after 2 months) if they have a bed.

But what about the vomit all over my condo pkg lot? My son’s too inxtoxicated to properly clean it. Should my neighbors have to step in and around it to get in and out their cars? No, they shouldn’t. The HOA, who’s the only only one that can legally have his car towed has not done so. So I’ve ordered a portable pressure washer.
