[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 667247, member: 18958"] All of us at one time or another, or a lot, fear the worse. That does not mean it will happen. Every day each of us faces the possibility of something impossible happening. Dealing with this is part of maturing. I don't have to tell you that. You know. There are numerous positive things that come from jail, if that is the outcome, and it is not clear it will be. Hitting bottom. Less drugs. Withdrawal. Containment. Time to think. To stop the treadmill. To read. To reflect. To turn or return to faith. He will likely be safe while he is incarcerated. If it were me I would be hoping he could stay awhile. Or be referred to a treatment program. 27 is when the turn around time for men starts. It is when the male brain is on the cusp of maturing. 28, even better. My son is almost 27. I am seeing it. I worked in prisons many years. 28 was when young men, most of them, stopped coming back to prison. There is so much to be hopeful for. As much, you may get a time out. You can rest. You can restore yourself. Husband can begin to restore himself. Keep posting. Take care of yourself. COPA [/QUOTE]
