[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 629136, member: 1514"] Worried, I understand why you are in this frantic state. You are in the very beginning of this awful roller coaster ride that none of us asked to be on. The price of admission is way too high. And I have always hated roller coasters anyway. Right now your son is giving you all of the typical difficult child answers for everything. Nothing is there fault, its everyone elses fault...mainly their parents. One parent or the other loved some other child so much more than them and blah blah blah. If they had just gotten those Timberlands in 7th grade or if they had the right jacket or if we had bought him a car...oh he would be so much better. Its all talk. Mine went through that too for awhile but it didnt take him very long to stop when we laughed at him. Now he knows without a shadow of a doubt that we did everything we could for him, nothing we did was because we hated him or wanted to punish him but he has also said that there was nothing we could have done that would have stopped him from who he was. Wish I had known that, I could have saved myself a ton of work. After as many years as I have been dealing with the legal system I think you are working yourself up into a frenzy a bit too much. That first arrest would get him nothing but probation and a fine. Depending on where you live most likely they will just continue his probation, maybe make it intensive instead of the extremely loose one, and probably add on another fine. You really have to be doing something quite bad with pot to end up in jail. I also wonder if he is telling you the truth about what he is doing such as being a drug runner. He would really have to know someone to get into that job. He knows if he tells you this you are going to worry to death about him and just possibly he can push your buttons hard enough you will take him back. If he was actually running drugs I dont think he would go around telling people about it. [/QUOTE]
