[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 661756, member: 17461"] There are places we follow our kids that change us, forever. I have done that. When they are little, we are sure they did nothing wrong. We celebrate and defend and believe in them with with everything in us. Now we know they did do wrong; now we know the miracle is that they were not picked up, sooner. It isn't the cost of the bail. We don't pay bail or take collect calls from jail because the words the kids say when they are caught are different than the words they say when they are free. We cannot enable, and we do not get to cheat. We can only say, "I love you." That is the only true thing we know. It feels awful but I believe you are handling this well. Gratitude for the good things can help us stay steady state. Especially when these kinds of questions come up, it is a good thing to list five things for which we are grateful. That helped me.
