[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 737156, member: 18516"] Each and every time my son has been arrested I always felt some relief. I used to think I was such a horrible mother feeling that way but the reality is I was glad he was safe. I was glad I didn't have to wonder if he would break into our house while we were at work. I was glad to know that he wouldn't be getting drunk while in jail. I was glad to have a nights rest that didn't involve imagining him on the streets. Be on your guard as it's times like this that some of these difficult adult children will reach out to us telling us how sorry they are, how they promise they will change and that we need to bail them out, or how that can't survive in jail unless we put money on their account. One thing I've learned from my son is to be very cautious about believing what he tells me. I believe actions speak louder than words and my son has never matched his actions to the words he tells me. Being optimistically guarded is a good way to be. Take some time to recharge yourself. Take care of YOU, take care of your physical and mental health. Thanks for letting us know what is going on. We care about you. ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
