[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 32281, member: 1514"] Welcome to the board. You are doing the absolutely correct thing by not listening to his garbage. He is grown now and making poor choices. He wants to blame you for his mess? Nope...not gonna work. I also have a 20 year old who tends to get himself in hot water and I dont bail him out of it. If he called me and started that stuff I wouldnt listen. He cant call me because I have cell phones which dont accept collect calls so that isnt a problem. He also knows I wouldnt stay for a visit in jail if he acted that way. So far he hasnt been in jail long enough for me to visit. I am not sure if I would even visit him there. I think if I were you, I would let him stew in his own juices. He made these choices and he needs to own them. You got him help when he was younger and he chose not to use what he was taught. Maybe he will rethink his choices now. This is not on you. Detach from him. Doesnt mean you dont love him but that you are giving him the wings to fly on his own. [/QUOTE]
