[QUOTE="Wakegirl, post: 578588, member: 15912"] Well, court didn't go exactly the way I wanted, but a change was made. He's officially out of my house. Hand written on his probation papers by his prosecutor. The deal is that today's court appearance was a continuance from when I had him arrested this past September. He was arrested for domestic violence, so that's what the charge is (although the domestic violence stemmed from his use of Spice). Even though I had a letter from his counselor stating that he recommends residential treatment, by law the court needs more. What I can do is talk with his counselor and get him to document that difficult child has admitted to drug use (only admitted, yet still denying he is an addict), and that the counselor feels that the use of drugs contribute to his angry outrages and his lack of having any life skills. So, that's my next step. It was also documented today that I will be signing the truck over to him, and that I will no longer be paying the premium. Because of his DUI, if he lets it lapse, he will be in contempt of court. The prosecutor explained that to him. He was also informed that I'll no longer be paying his cell phone bill. This month has already been paid for, so he's got a few weeks to figure out his new court ordered responsibilities. We were the last case to be heard today. It was extremely quiet in the courtroom. Another prosecutor sitting near by heard me talking. And saw my tears. He walked over and read difficult child the riot act. He told him that no baby deserves a worthless father, and that difficult child can walk away, but that baby can't walk away just because its father is a piece of $#*!. Told him to man up, get 3 jobs if that's what he's got to do to provide for his child, and quit being weak by using drugs. I was high fiving this prosecutor in my head. Im ok right now, and that's kinda scary. Ha. I'm mentally and physically drained, so I know the sadness will catch up with me after a good nights sleep. I love the saying "let go and let God". I'm praying for the strength and wisdom to know that God will handle this. And I'm not gonna lie... I'm praying really hard, and without cease, that he protects my boy and keeps him safe. Ok, that was enough to start the tears. Gonna go do some laundry or something. Busy is good. :/ [/QUOTE]
