[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 615455, member: 13542"] Limit your contact with him while he's busy manipulating and doing whatever he believes it will take to have you get him out. Write up all the horrible stuff he's done, the stealing, lying, hurting, all of it and post it near the phone you use when he calls. Answer one call out of 5 (or 10, depending on how desperate he is). Remember he WILL lie and say ANYTHING to get out...........don't buy any of it. Past behavior predicts future behavior unless someone does something to change it................and going to jail is not him changing it, it's him paying for his behavior. This is the consequence to HIS choices. You don't have to do anything at all and nor should you. You may want to have your wife read the article on detachment at the bottom of my post here............ [/QUOTE]
