[QUOTE="Suz, post: 250335, member: 29"] Rhonda, Rob had a Probation Officer who was instrumental in assisting us to get Rob help, but he was 16 at the time, a minor. From the stories I've read here, it's obvious that his PO was the exception, not the rule. From what I can glean from others who post with jailbound adult kids, the police are interested in incarceration, not psychiatric help. An attorney might help you arrange for a program instead of jail time but you need to remember what you already know..."help" will be useless if she doesn't want to work the program. It is terrible to watch our kids self-destruct, especially when hard drugs and prison are possible realities. I'm so sorry. What else is in your life? Job? Boyfriend? Volunteer work? Hobbies? Do you have anything that brings you joy to offset this stress and sadness? Suz [/QUOTE]
