[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 259952, member: 1436"] A big hug for your hurting heart and a big applause for your ability to stand with courage. It is not easy to watch your child hit bottom. Bottom is not pretty. Sounds like he is finally getting there. Stand firm. Don't get caught up in what your heart says, but go with your head on this one. You know that if you allow this to happen, he will have to get help. Jail is not easy, but at least he would be forced to get clean, would have food, and would have to face the truth about his life. It did my difficult child more good than all the money I spent on rehab, treatment, and enabling him. One thing I did do. When my difficult child went to jail the last time, I disconnected my home phone. He couldn't call my cell collect, I could call and check on him, but I didn't have to listen to his pitiful promises to straighten up if I would just give him one more chance. [/QUOTE]
