[QUOTE="Broken-Hearted Mom, post: 728901, member: 22773"] Our 21 year old son is in jail for stealing at a local store but we expect him to get out soon. He is a drug addict (weed and meth as far as we know). We have been supporting him off and on but are trying to do better and stay firm. We have not bailed him out even though bail is only $100. I am sure he is pretty mad about this. We don’t know what to do when he gets out. He has no place to stay, no job, no money, can’t afford insurance on his truck. If he were to find a job, he would need his truck to get from and to work but would probably get arrested again if they catch him driving without insurance. We live in a rural area and public transportation is not available. We don’t want him back at our house since he has a habit of lying to and steeling from us, too. We just can’t live with this constant roller coaster. It seems to be an endless cycle we can’t seem to get out of. We don’t want to enable him but don’t want to push him even further into this dark hole he is in. We believe that deep down he is still the son we raised and love and don’t want to make any mistakes that could be detrimental for him. Any thoughts or suggestions? [/QUOTE]
