[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 679165, member: 17244"] Glad you're here, but sorry you have to be. There will be others along with lots of support and words of wisdom shortly. It must be really tough dealing with this being so far away. What I would say having been through something similar is slow down. Figure out your response with your husband and make sure you're on the same page. As far as rushing home - what would that accomplish? You might consider setting your expectations with son. Your grades have to be ___ at the end of this semester or we will _____. Don't tell him anything you're not prepared to follow through on. I know the feeling of panic when this first hits. We wasted a lot of money on a lawyer, put ourselves in dangerous situations, I quit a religious formation program, all to try to rescue our daughter from the consequences of her own choices. The result - she made more and even more foolish choices. I know it's a process you have to go through, just keep in mind you, your marriage, and your life matter too . [/QUOTE]
