[QUOTE="lovemyson1, post: 682438, member: 16643"] Thank God you found us Changes! You will get great wisdom here from people who are going through extremely hard times with their Difficult Child's. I have learned so much from these good people and I've grown tremendously through my turmoil with my son. I believe you've made the right choice to pay your rent and not bail him out. I believe that natural consequences are the best tool for learning and growing. As much as it hurts to see our children suffer, we must allow natural consequences so that they see and experience what they do can harm them. Being in jail allows him to have self-reflection and he has a bed, food and hopefully free from drugs. I believe writing him letters, encouraging his sobriety and showing him love is the best thing you can do at this point. Do not feel guilty. You did not cause this, he did. If he ever wants help, then be ready for that. Have a list of rehabs available for him to look into. Best of luck to you both! [/QUOTE]
