Arghhhh that is so frustrating. I think our court system is good in principal but in practice it is so screwed up. It seems you do what you have to do there to get there on time, because heaven forbid you are late or don't show up and then it is hurry up and wait (and sometimes wait and wait and wait) and then all that happens is you get a new date.
Hugs AG!!

DH & I have raised our 25 yr.old grandson. At 14 he turned to pot & booze to cope with problems. He's a GFG#1. In 2005 he fell off a balcony, had brain surgery and has TBI effects. His recovery is very stressful. Time will tell if he ends up GFG or PC. Our GFG#2 is 21 and now lives with his GFGmom. He's ADHD, AS, BP plus. DH and I have 6 children and 11 grands. Yikes!
I'm sorry, I understand how frustrating that is.

Thanks for all the prayers... Court again Tuesday night. DUI trial. Atty. says it was a bad arrest and the dashcams show it. However, this judge is a wildcard.
Gfg gets off work 90 minutes prior to court. Is roughly 75 miles away.
Life is tough if you don't ask off ahead of time. Duh... He won't listen to me so, I have shut up. Just praying he gets there before they call him and the attorney doesn't give me grief. My stomach has been in knots all day long thinking about that possibility.
So glad Al-anon meets tomorrow!
I'm sorry that your stomach is in knots and you are worried. I know how that is. Sending you hugs and prayers that it all works out in the best possible way for everyone.
