[QUOTE="ANewLife4Me, post: 764991, member: 32799"] Hello New Life welcome. Agree with all Copa and KSM said, my daughter is 32 now and has been in and out of jail multiple times. We could never afford a lawyer, the court appointed her one but, always bailed her out. She told me everything I wanted to hear to get out but did not keep any of her promises once she gained her freedom and came back to live at home. She is currently in jail again. Left our home March 2023….better off living in my car than with you 2! She was stable living us for 3 years but we paid the price. She was verbally abusive towards us and loved seeing us unhappy. Never knew when the next explosion was going to happen. We helped get her license back for DUI, she saved enough money in 3 years to put a huge down payment on a new car, helped pay the enormous car insurance. This time in jail we said enough! Of course she called us first for bail. We told her, you leave our house again, no help. We are sticking with this as hard as it is. In the time she was out there she did not pay her car insurance so the car was already marked for repossession. The insurance gave her a chance though but now that she was not making the payment, it’s gone…finance company took it. She has no shelter when she gets out, she is not coming back home, she will be on the streets the 1st time in her life. So you see, while my story is a bit different than yours, the ending is still the same. The children do as they want, he is young but, as in the case of my daughter…..if not nipped in the bud, continues as they get older. My advice is no lawyer or bail. He needs to understand and think on what he has done. He is no longer in juvenile detention but a real jail, hopefully it’s a shock to him. You also need a break. 😊 Let him figure out how he is going to handle this, let him talk to his lawyer and case worker in jail. You step back and see how he handles this. Trust me it will continue if not. Big hugs!! ❤️ [/QUOTE]
