[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 551437, member: 13558"] Kim, I had similar situations with my son. I left him in jail for about 2 months over a $25 fine. You know where he is, he is not getting drugs, he is learning there is a reaction for every action, good or bad. What will the situation be if he is at home until October 10th? More drug use?? I wish I could say that leaving my son in jail turned his life around - it did not. He was court ordered into 2 separate programs. He walked away from one just before he was due to leave and had to spend more time in the program. For some reason these kids just do not listen - they choose the hard path. You have to step back as much as you can and let him learn to help himself. It is so very hard and I spent many sleepless nights. Take it one day at a time, stay busy. Start reading the many books out there and you do need to get counseling for you and your family, if they will go with you - if not go by yourself. I subbed for a while and they will call you again. It may be for the best that you decided not to go today, the kids can be stressful and you are stressed enough. (((huggs))) [/QUOTE]
