[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 598865, member: 15801"] Thank you fro all your thoughts.... I did not see him at court today. I had a work committment that I really did not feel I could or should break and so I didn't. He called me during it (and I did answer) and he was being released to the program. He sounded good, asked me where the town was where the program is... and it is in the nearest big city near us....and so he was relieved it was not too far away (less than an hour). So when he can have visits we (and his girlfriend) can easily visit. It is not in a great neighborhood but that is what he gets now. His girlfriend brought his clothes to court so he had those.... I need to see if I can get his stuff from the prison because he was taken to court today and did not know he was being transferred. So ok I can do that. So I am starting to relax... it really is out of my hands. He may blow it and if he does he will do prison time... most likely in the prison 3 miles from us. So I feel like for the next year he will be in a structured environment one way or anothr and that is a relief. It feels good to know that if he calls and complains, I can listen, be sympathetic and then say it is out of my hands, there is nothing I can do and there isn't. I do hope he can get some mental health treatment... from the internet it does look like its real focus is substance abuse and I know he needs both. But he may have to ask for that.... So I am doing better tonight. *TL [/QUOTE]
