[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 616555, member: 15801"] Oh Zardo.... I am so sorry you are going through this. Stay strong. You are taking the right stand and you know him coming home is going to not help him or you! How would he get to court? Can you set it up that the discharge plan is that he goes straight to court? Will you end up driving him to court? If so make sure you do not do it alone! Does he have a probation officer? Can somehow he come and take him to the court date? I think you need to stand firm as hard as it is.... once in court he will realize he has no option, especially if you tell the court he cant come home. That was our situation this past summer when my son was back, arrested and in drug court. We said clearly that he could not come and live at home, that we supported him... I was in court for every hearing... but he could not live at home. Yes he did spend time in jail waiting for a placement but eventually the court got him into a really good placement which hopefully is going to make a difference. I think if we had initially been willing for him to come home, the court might have allowed that but it would have been a disaster in the end I know.
