[QUOTE="GuideMe, post: 632574, member: 18233"] And just to touch on mental illness. I have extreme bipolar and PTSD. I was bullied and sexually molested through out my childhood. I tried drugs like every other normal teenager but at about 17, I chose to stop all of that. I have not done any drugs since, not that I did them a lot anyway. I never drink. I don't steal and have never stolen from my parents or any other family member. The only time I got arrested is because my brother who is very abusive, punched me in my legs, called to police on me and got his wife to lie and said I attacked them after I was trying to save HIS WIFE from him because he beat the crap out of her. How horrible and low do you think I felt that after trying to save his wife from him hitting her, she turned on me because she was scared of him and wanted to please him and LIED to the cops to protect her man? How awful was it that I was in jail for trying to do the right thing and never have done anything illegal in my whole life? I was 29 years old when that happened! I have learned to stay away from these very toxic and abusive people. Very awful. I was always proud of my clean record and my brother destroyed it. My brother is a drug dealer, abuser, bully, and has broken so many laws and not once has he ever got caught or went to jail, but me, ME, I went to jail. You have no idea.... Sorry, sometimes when you start a story, you can't stop. My point is, I have all these problems mentally and physically and I just never chose to make it worst with drugs or stealing from other people. Please don't let her past problems be an excuse. I know it's so hard as a parent. I would be upset too if my daughter went to jail. But don't bail her out, you will only cause more problems for her, because guess what, when you're out on bail and you just mess up one time, JUST ONE TIME, she will get into loads more trouble! She has proven she can't be trusted and if you bail her out , oh my god, you are going to seal the deal that she will never get better! Please, please. [/QUOTE]
