Act I: Halloween
Mom finds out her son is on cocaine. Not to mention smoking pot. Every day.
Act II: Thanksgiving
Son clocks mom in the nose coming down from a cocaine bender. He breaks it for good measure.
Act III: Christmas
Mom is seriously considering putting her son away. Possibly for eternity, but at least to figure out why he keeps saying he wants to kill himself. To really hone in the point that he doesn't WANT to go to the psych ward (and really? Who can blame him?) son runs away. For days.
Act IV: New Year's
Mom manages to catch her son while he's on the run and get him to the hospital. She signs him in. To really hone in the point that he doesn't want to be there, he FREAKS OUT and has to be physically held.
