[QUOTE="standswithcourage, post: 143757, member: 3948"] Hey - I will try and make this short!!! My son is in jail now and has been for 4-l/2 months. The first go around he called and called, begged, pleaded, cried all the above and I was so guilt ridden I almost died. But then I talked to God and I found out it was the best place for him right now. He had not listened to any of our rules or advice and continued on the path of destruction. We eventually got cell phones when our bill was over $500. I couldnt just not answer the phone to me that was worse. Jail saved his life. It gave him tiime to think. Ihope it has given him time to think again. However we are going to bond him out and a man we know that is getting him into rehab is taking him straight to rehab. I know exactly what you are feeling. I never thought I would be in this position. He started at 15 and he is now 24. He has to pay the consequences for his actions because we tried to tell him. We have never bonded him out before so it is kinda scary to me but acatually it was my husbands idea and that has NEVER been. I would just look on where she is as a stepping stone for her and do not feel guilty you didnt do whatever she did to get in there. [/QUOTE]
