[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 660339, member: 17269"] OG, You've gotten a lot of good feedback about boundaries. I hear the fear in your voice about consequences, and I want to weigh in on one thing...my son is in jail for a felony. A lot of us have had kids in jail. It is not the end of the world (although certainly I thought it would be, as did our whole family). There are boundaries in jail. They don't use drugs there. If he is supposed to take medications he will get medications. He will be (for the most part) safe. He won't be able to txt you, or to call you often at all. Try to move the fear of his going to jail out of your "panic" center. It will happen if it should, and it will be OK if it does. Echo [/QUOTE]
