[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 32650, member: 1436"] I will not go see him in jail. He did this. We have done everything in our power to help this young man. He chose his path. We kicked him out last week when it became apparent he was actively using again. His "loser" friends let him stay with them. They are on drugs badly, and we tried to tell them to leave difficult child alone, but they wouldn't listen. He did what he does best---stole from theit family---and got caught trying to cash a check at a local store owned by a friend of mine. She knew it was him, called us, then called the police. Four deputies picked him up. husband is concerned that he will have withdrawals and have a seizure. He told husband if he had to stay the night he would kill himself. husband called and had him put on suicide watch. husband also talked to the jail chaplain who is also a close family friend, and Charles is going to check on him. (The pitfalls and perks of being prominent citizens in a small town!) We know he stole close to $200 this weekend---maybe more----The stolen check he tried to cash was for $200. As best we can figure he's probably using about $100 a day in coke and/or xanex---he drugs of choice when he's binging. [/QUOTE]
