[QUOTE="JMom, post: 757547, member: 19892"] Helpless, I am sorry that he chose to punch and spit on a woman. I am concerned for the safety of you and your family. Excuse me for saying so, but if he is going to engage in harmful behavior, he is where he needs to be. I agree with AM58-this may be an opportunity for him to get some mental health evaluation and treatment. If he has mental heath or addiction issues, jail can offer opportunities to get sober-if he chooses. I can empathize with your holiday being consumed with thoughts of him. I call it "rushing around in my mind". The rushing involves us wanting to rescue, to help, to change, to control. It is like a lazy-susan (I am dating myself) inside the brain, a constant spinning plate of common sense solutions for people who are not ready for them. I hate that he will be facing a felony, that is disappointing. I am glad you posted, it allows you to get it off your chest and start the healing process. Sometimes when our Difficult Child's are in jail, we can actually sleep better. He has a roof over his head, food to eat and a sober mind to plan and reflect. My prayer for you is to be kind to yourself, this has been a shock, no doubt. Do you enjoy music? It can help you focus on something else. Perhaps float in the pool with a glass of iced tea and headphones. Maybe a walk could help, a long movie with a comfy blanket or a shower with a new scent of shampoo. Something for YOU. Let's focus on you, just for today. I will take your worry and concern for your son and give you a break. It will be there when you get back. Love, prayers and hugs to you and your son. JMOM [/QUOTE]
