[QUOTE="PonyGirl65, post: 680376, member: 20087"] SK, you are so right on with your sentiments! It used to be, the worst thing I could imagine for Difficult Child would be if he were sent to jail. That soon turned to "Whew! He's locked up! Thank goodness!" And then....it was the worse thing ever if he were sent to prison. Nowadays, my take on that is "Well....there's better programs in the State system than in the County system" Yoikes! Thank you everyone for your warm welcome back and gentle words of support. And here is a question for more discussion: Long, long ago, I made the promise to myself that I would never visit him in jail ever again. Been there, done that, no more no more no more!! Won't put myself through that. And now, I am considering attending the court hearing for sentencing. At first I rejected the idea out of hand, based on the same principle as not visiting. But now, I am wavering. I am trying to weigh the consequences...if I will feel bad for not attending. NOT that I would be there to try & influence the judge AT ALL!! (Not like the bad old days) But that I would be there to show Difficult Child my love and support. Thoughts?? [/QUOTE]
