[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 609851, member: 1233"] I hope and pray that he is ready to turn his life around and make a commitment to really work his program. I don't remember how much jail time he served if he was in jail before this, but maybe the 2 mos was enough to make an impact. Years ago when gfgbro crashed and burned, my parents refused to bail him out the second time (in 2 weeks). He sat in what he called the X County Betty Ford and sobered up. He then took a long, hard look at the people he was with. He realized that every single one had been in and out dozens of times over years nd even decades. He decided he did NOT want that to be his life. He also saw that as long as sub abuse played a part in his life, he would not ever have a life different than the men he was with. For some difficult children, this is what it takes. I truly hope and pray that your son has found the won't power to face his problems and work his program to recover from this illness. (i don't understand will power. Will is mostly how you get into trouble - I will eat this donut, I will have a beer. for me, won't power is the ticket.) [/QUOTE]
