[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 738876, member: 17244"] As far as bailing him out, you’ve answered your own question You know if you bail him out, it’s just going to be more of the same. And it is hard to let go of the hopes we had for them as we see them wallow in bad choices, crimes, substance abuse, dysfunctional relationships, jail. That’s why you want to give him another chance to preserve the future you want for him. But does he want it? You say he wants immediate gratification, can’t fight the charges if it means sitting in a cell. Well, guess what, everything comes at a cost. And who says he’d be found not guilty? Or even show up to court. You have to do what you can live with. In my case, I sure wish I had the money we wasted on bail and lawyers back. But that’s in hindsight. At the time, it seemed like the right thing to do. Good luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
