[QUOTE="Ca Mom Losing Hope, post: 670603, member: 17782"] Yes well said New Leaf. I haven't been on the roller coaster for over a year. He was living with his dad, using him for a while. We are divorced so he uses one of us, when that one is fed up, he turns back to the other one. Spreads stories about how bad he was treated but the real story is always how horrible he treated the very person that was trying to help him. I feel sick about him being in jail. He has never been in jail except book and release for his two seperate DUIs and juvenile hall twice. I am sure there is probably other times I am just not recalling though. Like the times he stormed through my house at 17 high on something mad about asking him to take the garbage out. I called the cops, they 5150 him but release him a day and a half later. Yes it has been a long road. But somehow, thinking of him in jail makes me nauseous, nervous and sad, all at the same time. I live about three hours south of where he is in jail. It is my old home town, so my sisters and his dad are there. How do I deal with this guilt? Should I visit him in jail? His arraignment is November 6th, shoulder I go? What happens after his arraignment for breaking a restraining order? Does he go to jail for longer? Worst of all, what if he gets out and tries to come here? We have considered selling and moving, but that feels like running. Deep down inside, I just wish we could be normal and have a normal relationship. Will that ever happen? [/QUOTE]
