[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 486324, member: 3710"] I know that you are all saying the right things, and I am kicking myself for letting him use our car today. difficult child did return home after about 1 hour, and of course he spent all the money that he took. I have to remember the line from Nancy that you know when a difficult child is lying when their lips are moving. That is so true. He has been accepted into an inpatient rehab program, and will go there at the end of the week. I know what you mean that he has to hit rock bottom to be serious about stopping the drug use. I know that he was using the legal weed (K2 or spice) almost every day, and I really think that he has become addicted. It is scary how upset he has become when he did not have anymore K2 and he really needed it to calm him down. Our lawyer told us that there is almost no chance that difficult child will serve any jail time, since this is his first offense. (We didn't tell this to difficult child) I felt that we had to rescue him from jail and pay his bond money because he would have been totally destroyed if he had to spend time in a Cook County jail in Chicago. It is so hard not to rescue our difficult child, when we know that if we don't rescue him the other prisoners in jail will hurt him very badly. I know that he has to hit rock bottom to realize what the drugs have done to him, but it is really hard for me to accept what rock bottom is for our difficult child. I am looking forward to the peace and quiet when our son is in rehab in a few days. Thanks again for all the advice. [/QUOTE]
