[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 147362, member: 3647"] OK, time to put away the nicey nice talk for a second. First of all, you can't undo what you already did, but next time, do not give him any money. Period, end of story. You gave him money to bring him to where YOU ARE. Seriously, what do you think he is going to ask for? Of course he is going to ask to come home! Major set up. You said you are afraid that he will have no place to go but home unless they put him in jail. Fist of all, that statement is incorrect. He CANNOT go home. HE CANNOT GO HOME. HE CANNOT GO HOME. IT IS NOT EVEN AN OPTION. HE. CANNOT. RETURN. TO. YOUR. HOME. It is YOUR home. It is your HUSBAND'S home. It is your YOUG SON'S home. It is NOT your difficult child's home. Second of all, if he has nowhere else to go but jail, what is the problem with that? He was given a chance, and he blew it. I know we all care about our kids, in jail or not, in rehab or not, in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or not, but come on. He was in jail for doing something very wrong. He caught a break, was given an opportunity to make things right. He wasted no time in screwing up again. So why shouldn't he go back to jail? Do you really think that he will change if he is NOT in jail? I'm sorry if this sounds callous, but enough is enough. Of course I pray for you and your son every day. Occasionally, you need a swift kick in the you know where. If you let this kid come live in your house, then there is nothing more I can say to you. Stop wringing your hands and do what you KNOW needs to be done. Tell him to go take care of his business. [/QUOTE]
