[QUOTE="Joprit, post: 629141, member: 18119"] New to group. Hoping to find encouragement here as feel very sad tonight that my 26 year old son is back in jail. He has been in trouble since he was 16. Was put in jail Jan 2013 for domestic violence after fight where both he and wife were drunk. We paid money for an attorney and instead of a felony and 2 years in state prison, he got 4 years probation with the stipulation that if he messes up the felony and jail time come back. We paid with the understanding he would go into rehab after jail which he didn't. Has not had a good place to stay since then. Lost his wife, 3 year old son, house, car, dog, and still not really getting help. The only bright spot seemed to be he has worked in construction since he got out in Aug 2013. We just saw him for 1 meal 3 weeks ago when we went to visit our grandson. I know it doesn't help, but even after 10 years of this, my mind still goes over and over what could I have done to prevent this. I am so sad I don't want to tell my friends and family he is in jail again. So sad. [/QUOTE]
