[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 520998, member: 1233"] t is in NO way mean to not help him. A LOT of people do not have family to help them when they are released for whatever reason. You did NOTHING to get him put in jail and all that a parent could to raise in him such a way as to keep him out of jail. There is NO responsibility on you to help him and I would tell them that you are not interested in helping. That this is HIS journey and HIS problem to handle. He made adult decisions to do the crimes and this is part of paying his debt to society. If/when they release him, you may or may not choose to have contact, but you do NOT owe him anything and are NOT being mean to let this be his problem. he is an ADULT and it is HIS JOB to arrange his life. At his age you were not in jail and were not having to have people arrange your home. this is part of letting him deal with the natural and logical consequences of his actions. My kids already know I won't be any help if they commit crimes and end up in jail/prison. I know my parents wouldn't help ME either. [/QUOTE]
