[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 655399, member: 18516"] Oh Sherril, I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to think they are doing better only to have something like this happen. Very wise choice not to get him a lawyer or to put money on his account while in jail. I agree with RE, it's time for you. Do things for yourself that will bring joy into your life and do not get tripped up by any guilt. It's not un-common to have feelings of guilt when you start to reclaim your life. I remember one of the first vacations husband and I took while my son was in jail. I talked to him on the phone and told him that dad and I were going to the caribbean. He lost it!! Started telling me how selfish I was, said "fine go off and have a great time while I rot in jail" I felt terrible but God bless my husband, he helped me to see it for what it was. He reminded me that we both have worked really hard, that we have gone above and beyond to help our son and that he made his choice and now has to deal with consequences. I remember my husband telling me, "he just wants to make you feel as miserable as he does, don't give him that power" So you go out there and do good things for yourself. ((HUGS)) to you..........
