[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 723810, member: 18958"] i've said too much. (she said.) well. yes. he's a good kid. he's made some bad choices recently. if given a chance (some day) he (might decide) to make it right. i get a good vibe. i agree. with the above qualifications. the facts are these: he is still in a drug addled state. as far as we know he was taking a :censored2: load of drugs and cannot yet have any tools or incentive to stop them. there is no reason to hope at this point that he would do anything different to stop. he has neutral parties to call to get through to you. like the friend who visited him. or his attorney. if they called you would listen. but what has to be faced is unless he volunteers for residential drug treatment in lieu of prison he will return to the exact lifestyle he was pursuing. he is already an addict. his range of choices are to avail himself of treatment or not. over this you have no control. this woman is stupid, intrusive and cruel. let her bail him out. let her prevail on the courts. let his life be in her hands. but you have done every single thing in any mother's power in the situations you have faced. i am always in favor of leniency and compassion. if possible. but what would you do if you dropped charges and he overdosed with benzos or lean or the other stuff? you would be a dead mother walking. this stupid woman is a non event. this happened to many of us. a version of it. to me. many times. largely before i came to the board. i would tell you if i thought there was another course. with what i know there is no other course i see. that may change tomorrow. who knows? but now. no. i am sorry.
