[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 664500, member: 18516"] Hi LP, I'm coming in a little late on this. I have read everyone's responses and you have received good advice. I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I know all too well what it's like. My son is 33 and has been in and out of jail many times. I never bailed him out and glad I didn't. Not for lack of effort on his part as he begged plenty. I read the letter you wanted to read to your son and I'm glad you have not done so. One thing I have learned in dealing with my son is the fewer words spoken the better. You said your son is very good at manipulating. When dealing with someone like this you need to be very careful what you say to them as they will take it, twist it and use it against you. The last thing you need to do is own any responsibility for a 30 year old man's poor choices. I don't know what your son did to earn being in jail but I'm pretty sure you were not a part of it. Your son is a grown man, you need to step back and let him deal with the consequences of his actions. Keep posting, let us know how things are going. We are here for you!! ((HUGS)) to you.................... [/QUOTE]
