[QUOTE="TerriH, post: 758955, member: 298"] Helpless29, 7 years ago my own son was put into the Diversion program as a first offender and it ended up being a good thing for him. The authorities seriously were trying to guide him. My own efforts did not succeed but their efforts did, partly because they were not the Mom. I had warned him about his behavior often enough but he did not listen to me: he did listen to the judge. It also cost him a pretty penny as he was given a fine and court costs: I gave him work around the place and I paid him just above minimum wage but he did have to earn it himself. He was to pay it in installments over a 9 month period and he was pretty burned out on mowing lawns, doing housework, etc but he did finish. AND he has stayed out of trouble since then Helpless29 I feel your pain. I have been there myself. And now you have a duty to the rest of your family, and to yourself, to keep yourself well and strong so that you can be there when you are needed. I know it is hard, but, please be kind to yourself and keep yourself well [/QUOTE]
