[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 65279, member: 2389"] My world experiences taught me that no one would change until they made the decision on their own to do so. You tend to forget that truth when you are dealing with your child. Janet I have thought of so many different ways to help my Corey now. You know, what if I wrote the judge and asked for a treatment center? What if I convinced him to serve a year at Canaan Land? Who could I get to go talk to him now that he is sober and will listen? Should I hire a lawyer because he will have 3 felonys on his record? Many, many things have gone thru my head... The answer to all the questions is no. If I do anything to make this easier on him, he will have gotten away with yet another stupid act. This is hard. I have given myself today to grieve. I couldn't face going to the jail to put money on the books, so husband did. Later, I hope to get a letter written. One thing I noticed in his room was every card and letter he has gotten over the years he kept. So if I can get in the right frame of mind I will write him. Gosh, all we have gone thru to keep them out of where they are now. Hang in there, I am trying to do the same Traci [/QUOTE]
