[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 653604, member: 17542"] They say a whole lot of things when they are in jail and want to get out. I would ignore virtually all of what is said by him right now. He is desperate. Someone on this board once said: Jail is the best rehab there is. There is a lot of truth to that, from my experience. I would have never thought I would believe that for a single minute, but I do today. My son has been in jail multiple times. He is none the worse for wear for it today, from his behavior and actions. Today he is working to regain his life. It's not always pretty or perfect, but he appears to be trying. I am cautiously optimistic. He has had to do virtually every single thing HIS WAY. Which has meant the ugly, hard, stupid, painful way. That seems to be his journey. I would let him sit right there for as long as the system says he needs to sit there. Keep your boundaries. Take care of you. Things have a way of slowly sorting themselves out, without us, if we will let them. Hang in there. We are here for you. We get it. [/QUOTE]
