[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 174353, member: 179"] Gosh...I wish I had great advice, but you've already received it. It's hard to watch someone be a train wreck, especially if it is your child. But, at some point you need to step back and let them make their way. It could be painful and good, or it could be bad. [B] YOU[/B] have to be the one to except the consequences of your choice. I think that is where you are at. Six months in prison is nothing. He'll get food, a place to sleep and excercise. I learned long ago I could not deal with difficult child's behavior....drugs, stealing, 3 prison terms, Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s, etc. I chose to let go, but I also knew that there was a pretty good chance of him killing himself. Is that comfortable? Absolutely not. But, he's scraping the streets to make a new life now. He's still alive at 25, but don't know how long. It's [B]his [/B]choices now, not mine. You do what you have to do. I wish you well. Abbey [/QUOTE]
