[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 110086, member: 3626"] I'm glad you had a good visit. I'm sorry he still isn't standing up like a man. If you had the money and you bonded him out, do you honestly believe he would succeed with rehab or is it just another way to try to manipulate the court to give him another chance? He needs to want rehab, to want to quit using, not just do a "look good." Sadly, I wouldn't spend a dime on an addict who truly didn't want help. I would give my son support in jail or prison as much as I reasonably could but I wouldn't help him get out not unless he truly wanted to change. You don't have the money. In some ways, that makes it easier. Not a happy thing, but maybe the best thing for him. Hopefully, he will begin to see that he is where he is because of drug use. Maybe he'll even see that what his life will be like if he continues on this path. More importantly, maybe he'll begin to see what his life could be like if free of drugs. Maybe then he'll want that life instead of the drug life. Until he sees this, he is where he needs to be for his own safety. I hope you and yours have a good Christmas tomorrow. May you find joy and peace with the son you have at home. Merry Christmas! [/QUOTE]
