[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 619746, member: 17542"] I am so sorry you are having to go through this in full technicolor. It seems unbelievable that our difficult children go down this road and make it even rougher than it already is for themselves, but they do. [B]It's what they do.[/B] What I came to see about law enforcement is they don't care about all of the stories, blaming, victimhood, excuses, reasons, rationalizations. It is the very essence of the immovable object meeting the unstoppable force. This is where our difficult children pay the price of their choices and their behavior, if they have not paid it elsewhere. They are just another number there and no special treatment will be provided. I think it is a good lesson for them, and interestingly, I believe my son actually feels somewhat comfortable in jail. The "box" is smaller, the rules are black and white and very clear and simple, and he has gotten used to it. He has no responsibilities and they take care of him. Better than home! (lol, laughing instead of crying). Your difficult child will meet his match, and maybe that will get his attention. I know it hurts you and that is the worst part. I don't go to court anymore. I haven't visited him in jail this time. I haven't put money on his account. I don't accept his phone calls from jail. I have gotten to this place through multiple experiences. Please protect yourself from unnecessary pain. The court will do what the court does. Today, I hope you can be kind to yourself and do something nice for YOU. You deserve it. You don't deserve to experience more unnecessary pain. Blessings and hugs and prayers for you and your difficult child today. [/QUOTE]
