[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 653539, member: 1"] Hello [USER=18933]@elizabethanne[/USER]. I'm so sorry you have to face such a difficult parenting journey. Many here have also gone through very difficult parenting situations and have had to make some very difficult choices. I'm going to offer you my own opinion which may or may not be useful to you at this point. Others may disagree with me and I do not take any offense to that. Take from here whatever seems useful to you, and leave the rest. It's obvious that you are a good hearted mom and that you truly want the best for your son. I know it's very hard but your son is an adult and may need to face the consequences of his own choices before he is able to see that to improve his life he needs to make different choices. It seems that even his some of his friends are encouraging you not to post bail so that he gets a dose of the reality that he has created for himself. Getting a court order to be released for treatment would put the authority of the legal system behind getting treatment. He may be more likely to complete treatment under those circumstances. You deserve to live your life and not have your son's situation be the focus of your every waking moment. He has his life to lead and you have yours. It's time to choose to make taking care of yourself the priority in your life. Are you in counseling? Are you involved in Al-Anon? If not then look into it. More support can be very helpful. Just be aware that you are not responsible for the situation that your son has put himself into. He's an adult and is on his own journey. [/QUOTE]
