[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 498793, member: 13561"] No I am in not in recovery or treatment. I was abstinent for 16 years but did it alone, with about 3 month of Antabuse. Saturday I got some letters from the state attorney's office and it seems my son is doing a pretrial. I suspect that he plead not guilty to the DV charges because they upped it to a felony. The idea of him going to prison is my worst nightmare and it is his, too. I am so upset that I can't think straight. Has anyone else had this experience with a child or a partner? I can't seem to get my head around the idea that he is my child who needs a chance (though in honesty, he has had plenty of them....) and not this monster who calls me a b**ch and a f*****g c**t when he is drunk. I can't decide whether he loves me or hates me. I can't find the courage to tell him he can't live with me. And now I can't bear the idea that he might go to prison....I'm so messed up. Can someone give me a really big reality check and help me see how it's UNCONSCIONABLE to hit anyone, least of all your own mother, who has been your lifeline? I understand these laws are put in place for people who live in terror (and I have been there myself) but it seems extreme . Believe me I know ow I'm sounding-I'm just processing as I type. Just absolutely lost. [/QUOTE]
