[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 723827, member: 1233"] My brother had a similar thing happen for him. It wasn't with a public defender though. And his rehab cost my parents a pretty penny. It was worth it though. My brother had multiple felonies that would stay with him for life if he messed up. If he went through rehab and stayed clean for 5 years with no problems with the law, he could have his record expunge. That would mean he would get his record clean as though the felonies never happened. He would get his civil rights back. It was a big deal. I hope your son is willing to do what he needs to do. I hope they don't give him chance after chance. Be tough on him. Don't let him have access to every area of the house. Put locks on doors if you need to. Don't be afraid to let him know he hurt you. He did. He needs to work hard to earn trust and to earn this chance he has been given. He will think he can abracadabra his way through this opportunity, but you need to be hard on him and not take him at his word. Make him prove everything he tells you. I wish you the best of luck with this. I really hope he is terrified and that he understands what a gift he is being offered. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
