[QUOTE="2 times the heartache, post: 712282, member: 21750"] Well, there you have it....the general consensus is that you are not wrong. I take comfort in reading the replies myself as I have been there, done that and realize that my son did this to me similarly when in jail....he failed to accept responsibility for his actions. He blamed and complained and I anguished and worried and feared for him. Bottom line....there was nothing I could do whether I chose to side with him or not. Jail is not a very nice place....anywhere. Based on what I know, it was horrible. But.....he was there, Not ME. He's out now and on the street and I am still anguishing but.....differently. I actually would rather him on the street than in jail. The magic word here is DETACH as I thanked SWOT for earlier. The more you do so, the better your life will be. You will always be their mom and love them as such but....let them be adults and let them make their lives what they want even if that means....living them as they have made them. The best you can hope for is that he will be better for it all during the rest of his life :) Hugs and Prayers for you! [/QUOTE]
