[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 696764, member: 19951"] I'm so sorry Lil for your worry. I have been there. Jabber is right, it's on him. When my son got out of jail (did 40days) I brought him home and we discussed a plan for him to get on right path. We decided on Salvation Army but the choice of which one was difficult. He begged us to send him back to the town he lived in because he had good support system there- whereas if I kept him in our state far away from the ones who tempted him with drugs and chaos. I allowed him to go back to his old city. He stayed exactly one day and left and proceeded to get reinvolved with those people. I thought it was right decision so he could get the positive support. But it wasn't. I felt guilt and responsibility that I had sent him back into the den of wolves. It was only after son moved down south he told me Mom don't feel bad- I would have left the other place too. Not your fault. Sometimes no matter how we handle things or make decisions with or without our kids input, they will do what they want regardless. It is in the end on them and we have to let them "write their own book". The only way son turned his life around was because he wanted it more then I did. This too, I pray will come to your son.
