[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 552038"] Kim, Doing this tough love thing is full of heart ache and it is definitely a process. I think many of us have stumbled along this path finding our way with many trips and falls and mistakes. You can only do what you feel is the right thing at the time. I think bailing him out to see his sick grandfather makes a lot of sense and I think I probably would have done the same thing. Now he is making bad choices again and those are not your choices and you have no control over those.... and given he is out on bail if he messes up he will get caught again and will be in more trouble. This is not your fault he has been clearly told he needs to keep his nose clean, and if he doesnt that is his choice and not yours nor is it your fault. It is a process and a hard one.... so dont be so tough on yourself. You are doing the right things. TL [/QUOTE]
