[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 96138, member: 27"] Mikey, I'm so very sorry it came to this - not so much for your son since his own choices got him in this boat, but for you and your wife and other children. When our children are hurting, we hurt, so I know how you and your wife are hurting. As angry and scared as we get, they are our children, and our hearts are heavy. When he was arrested, did they not lock him up right then and there? Did you and/or wife post bail? I know this didn't come as much of a surprise to you, though it still breaks your heart, I know. You had definitely come to terms with the road your son was traveling, but how about your wife? How's she coping? If only there was a magic button we could push to make our kids understand that they are not invinsible. They just don't get it. Eventually their bad choices catch up with them. Keep us posted. We're here for you. Unfortunately many of us have been down this road, and have survived. If only he'd agree to rehab now. It would go a long way in showing the judge that he wants to turn things around. I know, I'm dreaming. From what you said, it sounds very unlikely. Wouldn't you like to shake him till his teeth fall out? lol. That's what I wanted to do to my son. They just think they know everything. Ughhh. Hang in there. Deb [/QUOTE]
