[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 623641, member: 17269"] Ah, Child ...I am so very very very sorry to hear this. My own skin is up in goosebumps at the shock and derailment. They will do what they do, won't they. You said just a few days ago that he doesn't make it more than 60 days, and so it is. I am so sad for you. I just looked up and read your signature again... "24 difficult child son, addicted to drugs and alcohol, no recovery (yet!), keeps spiraling down, jail, arrests, homelessness, rehabs, lies, stealing, no responsibility, victim...all of the usual. He doesn't have a problem, doesn't need rehab" It is true, isn't it. Keeps spiralling down, arrests....lies...stealing...all of the usual. I tend to agree with you that he won't go to rehab. I agree with you that $200 bail won't help his life in the big picture. Why why why do they do that? That is the right thing to do. The only thing to do. Your tools are strong now. You have been diligent about honing them. They will hold you up. You will hold you up. You will be there for him, and be strong for yourself, as things unfold as they must. You know, I grew up in a house with no religion, Christian based in terms of celebrating Christmas and Easter in the Santa Claus Bunny manner. Married a jewish guy and had all four of my kids B'nai mitvahed. I like churches. I like synagogues. I never in my life prayed until a few years back when a friend of mine said about my difficult child...I will pray for him. And I was so comforted. So now, sometimes, I pray. And Child, I will pray for you, and for you much loved son. I'll be back when I've had a chance to process this. I just want you to know I saw, I read, I know. Echo [/QUOTE]
