[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 618371, member: 1233"] I am sorry that he is squandering this rare opportunity to avoid prison. It is so strange to the rest of us that he has a good atty, a state's atty willing to work with him, and family willing to help him, but he still cannot make decent decisions that would be so logical to the rest of us. Sadly, I think that is one of the cornerstones of building a difficult child life. I see this more from a sibling point of view, or a fellow member of 12 Step Meetings member, but honestly it seems to me our difficult children don't need to hit bottom to 'get it', thy need to bounce around on it like a basketball dribbled by an angry giant, then they need to dig themselves a dungeon under the 'bottom' and then shriek and moan and try to drag others down into the dungeon below bottom before they can start to accept the need to change their lives and their bizarre and awful thought processes and choices. The most the rest of us can do is to maintain firm boundaries and not get dragged down into that dungeon. I do hope that difficult child's brother informs the court that he has thrown out difficult child for being drunk/stoned. Yes, it revokes bail most likely, but it is what is expected and not doing so could cause consequences for his brother. I am sorry difficult child is continuing on the conflama train. Do what you need to de-stress and take care of you. he is an adult and is own responsibility. [/QUOTE]
