[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 501174, member: 3305"] Susie, Please forgive me for not get back to you sooner. I looked at the thread yesterday but when I got online this morning I was concentrating on other posts. Yes, you are right that the Sub Abuse issue with young difficult child overshadows all other diagnosis. Until he recons with this "demon" he will not be able to move forward. I spoke with his Attorney on Saturday. Was VERY impressed with her...She even has a brother in recovery from a Meth addiction. He has overcome and now has a Masters (I forget what field but he must be very smart!) His Attorney said she will talk to young difficult child again today as well as the prosecutor. I told her Everything! The Bipolor diagnosis at 13/14 yrs of age, the Drug Rehab, His time in the Military, how Alcohol has been a factor in each Felony Incident, etc. She took notes...and plans on discussing with the Prosecutor today. She did tell me that "IF" young difficult child decides he truly Truly wants the help and asks the Judge for it that he will need to fervently stick with the program...Meaning, After Safe P then onto Halfway House he cannot walk off from Halfway House or his time starts ALL OVER again. It will be "time lost". She also told me that if he goes into straight incarceration that he will likely be up for parole in a year. She said 40% of the time Parolee's are released after first parole hearing. She did say it could be up to 2 years of serving real time though even on a 5 yr sentence. Of course, after he gets out, there is still the issue of wether or not he will use again. I just shake my head as I SO HOPE this hard lesson will be what it takes...that this is young difficult child's "bottom". The plan... After serious debate yesterday, it has been decided, that husband ME and daughter in law will drive to Amarillo tomorrow night to be there for young difficult child's court hearing Wednesday morning 9am. My mother (surprise-surprise...she is not a "kid" person) is watching the grandbabies...her Great-grandbabies for h, me and daughter in law while we are gone. I am waiting for the call from young difficult child's attorney today to see if there are any new developments. Will let you all know when I know. Thank you ALL again for the heartfelt responses and prayers said on young difficult child's behalf. I am so thankful for this wonderful forum. Love, LMS [/QUOTE]
