[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 664608, member: 13561"] For all the mistakes I've made with my son, I told him years ago that if he ever was jailed I wouldn't bail him out and I never have. I am perfectly happy with this decision. Let him be in there and come to terms with the consequences of his actions. Jail isn't SUPPOSED TO BE NICE! It's JAIL! I didn't read all the posts, so sorry if I'm just parroting everyone else, or you've moved on from this-but it seems that you and your husband need some peace and happiness in your lives, taking care of your health and not having to worry about this MAN who is also a father. I'm saying all this as a parent who is flawed, uncertain and still trying to detach from my son's destructive behaviours . But again, I have never regretted my decision to leave him in jail. He actually ended up being quite content there (he's in and out like a revolving door, so now it's not even a deterrent to him). We humans can adapt to almost anything. So please take care of your own needs. I wish you and your husband serenity and peace of mind. [/QUOTE]
