[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 509300"] PV - First hugs to you. I know this is all very hard. I hope the courts order rehab... and one thing to mention to the defense attorny is that what you want to see is rehab.... a lot of times the court may not "order" rehab but they will agree to a plea agreement that inludes rehab. That is one good thing about your son spending more time in jail, if he realizes his choice might be jail or rehab he may agree to such a deal. That is what happened with my son 18 months ago.... we found a rehab, and the lawyer talked with him and he ended up agreeing to rehab because he really really did not want to spend any more time in jail. So mention it to the lawyer and let him give your son his options... and make it very very clear that coming home to live with you is in no way an option if rehab is not part of the deal. You may continue to be the bad guy in your sons eyes for a while but that may change as his own actions get him in more and more trouble. I am not sure my son has warm and fuzzy feelings for us right now but i don't think he is really blaming us either. Of course I don't know... but at some level he knows it is his own actions ending him up where he is. Keep us posted. TL [/QUOTE]
