[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 697358, member: 20051"] Hi Wollowbe, and welcome, A lot of us have had this experience. If your son is an addict it is what needs to be done. It is hard, and it hurts, but you won't be helping him him by doing it. Also, it sounds like his charges are pretty serious based on his bond, so the time he spends in county jail awaiting trial will be counted towards his sentence. My sister is in prison. She knows she cannot come to my home. Unfortunately, we have been down this road so many times she knows better than to ask. She will, likely, go to a halfway house. It's okay, really. The only way they will they will ever come around and try to make any changes in their lives is if they feel the consequences of their actions. I will tell you I also do not accept collect calls. I won't put money on commissary accounts, and I won't visit, either. Letters are it for me. It is okay to set boundaries. For your well-being as well as his. My advice to nearly everyone in our position is to look into Nar-anon and Al-anon. [/QUOTE]
