Am I enabling??

Feeling guilty doesn't make sense. He isn't a child and he isn't productively in college. He did something he knew would land him in prison. He is there because of his choices. You do not owe it to him to give him anything that involves money, which is probably not being used the way he says. And it's better if he works in prison than if he is comfortable and doesn't mind being there.

He stole from you. Your husband has my vote on what do.

You are torn between your life partner who loves you and your son who may not be able to love anyone the right way and who is a thief. Is there really a contest? Who enriches your life more?

Please take care of you. Don't give your son much of a hearing. He will ruin your life and not care, as long as it benefits him. Me, me, me. So many of our adult kids are narcissists who are incapable of caring for anyone but them. I don't know if this is your son, but the path of his 45 years so far is likely me-centric. Or so what you shared says to me.

Is he worth your husband?

Sending love and gentle hugs. Hope you can gain clarity
