I really hate this whole situation

He is homeless now, like he was then, so he would just go back to wherever he was. I understand that would be better than jail and I hate the thought of him there but I can't do it.
I know this is hard to hear, but take it from one who knows, jail is not the worst thing that can happen to our kids. At least in jail, he's fed, warm, you know where he is, he can't get any drugs, and it's safer than the streets. The 4 months my son spent in jail, my hubby and I realized were the only 4 months in the last 10 years that we didn't worry. Unfortunately, when he got out, it was using again within a week.
My heart goes out to you. I've walked your walk, and it's so hard to let them reach their bottom, but I now know that all the rescuing we did over all those years did not help at all. He's worse off now than he was then, because we couldn't let him learn from his mistakes.
