[QUOTE="WiscKaren, post: 117065, member: 4507"] Oh, how this topic brings back memories. When my son would be in jail, he would call and make promise after promise. I always fell for it too. And the letters he would write, wow -- he was changing for the better!! And then I'd get him home. The first week was usually full of promises (and hope). After that, it would go downhill. He'd sleep all day, make noise all night, come and go as he pleased (at night), leave his dirty laundry laying on the bathroom floor, etc. etc. etc. The last time he was arrested, I made him sit. After he was released, he did come back home. Within two months, I was at my wits end -- and told him to get out. It was time for him to go. I don't regret doing that either. It was either him or me. Please don't let the guilt get to you. I know that is easier said than done. But guilt can let us make some decisions that we will regret later. Be strong!!! [/QUOTE]
