    Visit in Jail

    A kind family friend offered to visit son in jail. Felt he would try an intervention. It didn’t go well. Sons behaviour was extremely erratic. Up and down all over the place. Acusing us of horrible atrocities. Declaring he is never going to rehab and he wants us to drop the charges. Then...
