[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 87292, member: 2389"] Susan I know puts you in shock but, with time the shock will become relief. It was helpful for me to limit the calls I took from my son when he was first arrested. Each call pulled so hard on my heart, it was very difficult to think of anything else other than my son being in jail. Time helped, instead of half sleeping at night wondering where he was, I was able to sleep soundly knowing he was safe and sober. My son also had to process what was happening to him. He went from begging to be bailed out to accepting responsibility for his actions. Jail made a huge difference in his life. He finally woke up and saw what he was doing. I know this is hard but I want you to know that you are not alone. My fears, embarrassment and all the other feelings that come when your child is in jail have been replaced with hope for my son's future. ...Before my son was arrested, I honestly couldn't see any hope for him to change. The path he was on lead to death. This could be the best thing to happen to him. You didn't make the call to the police. The mother of the 15 yr old did. She was protecting her son and your son is being held accountable for his actions. Let the process take place, do nothing to lessen the consequences, it may be the one thing that wakes your son up! We are here for you. Traci [/QUOTE]
