[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 654047, member: 17542"] I so agree with this. The first time, I could not even fathom that this could be true. Jail just had to be the worst place in the world. I don't believe, today, that it is. By the eighth or ninth time, I was hoping for him to be arrested, so I could rest and so he could have some safety from his life. One person on this forum said it well for me: Jail is the best rehab there is. I agree with this. If you know a place and time where she is and will be, call the detective/the person you know to go there and pick her up. One time I put my son on a bus to get him back here for a court date (after he was kicked out of rehab twice and lived on the street for a while, twice). Once I knew he was on the bus from the other city, I called the detective and told him when the bus would arrive. He met the bus and took him to jail. Otherwise, he would have been back on the street for another four or five days until the court date. I was already way, way past the point of having any qualms about turning him in. I knew jail was safer than the life he was living on the street, and at that point, I just hoped he could stay alive. It gets real clear and simple sometimes on this journey. Hang in there. Perhaps this is a turning point for her. [/QUOTE]
