[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 754187, member: 21499"] Got a letter from my son in jail with a list of what he expects me to do to help him both before and after he is released. Unbelievable. I am supposed to call about an apt and rent it for him or buy him a house and he will flip it for me. Check on a friend for him. Collect his stuff from the last place he lived before he went to jail. Call i don't know who all to get him released. Let him sleep on a futon in my garage. A few other things. Where does he think that i am going to get money to rent or buy him a house? The draw is supposed to be that he has started counceling and promises to continue when out. Any idea how many times i have heard that. I am glad he is seeking help while there but why does that mean that i have to foot the bill again. Keep in mind he is 37 and we have been doing this since jr. High. I will not put my name on any place that he inhabits because he doesnt pay and does alot of damage. But i am supposed to believe it's all going to be different this time. His credit is so bad he can't get utilities in his name. Who do you think he will expect to pay that? I am just so freaking tired of this stuff. There is always that very slight chance that this time will be the one but i can't bank on that. I have to stay strong even if i used my retirement what happens if my husband or i get ill. Just so frustrated. Have to be strong but so hard. [/QUOTE]
