Our son is a heavy drinker. He has been for years. He has been arrested for a serious felony. While the alleged crime is not typical of him, the fact is his alcoholism makes it impossible to discount it. He was arrested a week ago.
We have posted bond and paid an initial payment to an attorney; we really lack the means to adequately do the charge justice.
He cannot live here with us. He cannot live with his family. It MAY have been better to have left him incarcerated, but before we posted the bond, the charges were enhanced, and we were clueless. The terms really leave him unable to work and unable to do much of anything.
It stands to affect our church work, our jobs, and our much younger child. We are a wreck. Our sleep is affected. Our appetites are affected. I don't even know what else to say. Help us to cope. We realize no one can fix this except God.
Please do not ask specifics of the arrest.
