[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 217589, member: 3626"] I'm so sorry. Somtimes I think saving our kids is harder on us than it is on them. I'm assuming he'll either be taken to juvie or hospitalized, not taken to jail. Not much difference between juvie and jail but there is a difference. Just remember why you are doing this to save him. Sometimes, that thought was the only thing that kept me sane when my daughter was at her Residential Treatment Center (RTC). If you start thinking about him as the "poor, asthamatic" boy you raised to this point, it will be very hard to not falter and bring him home from wherever he is. You really do have to look at him as a drug user for now. Hiopefully, this facility will take him and he'll make the choice to want to quit rather than just bide his time. I hope he shows up tomorrow and that the judge agrees to the plan. For you, many hugs. It hurts to do something like this for your child but you are doing it FOR him, not to him. [/QUOTE]
