[QUOTE="rjrodgersblue, post: 759901, member: 26666"] Update: My son was lucky enough to get a public defender that understood his mental issues. She was able to get the court to release him for treatment. I did not bail him out. He was in jail three weeks and two days. He agrees it was a terrible experience and he does not want to go back. However, he is not out of the woods yet on his legal troubles. He has another court hearing and we will find out more at that time. I found him a psychiatric treatment facility on my insurance plan -- the best I could find. And yes, I paid the deductible so that he could get treatment. I have not seen him since he went to jail. It is the longest time I have gone without seeing him, hugging him. I have realized that I have not really been able to physically relax since this long journey began with his first suicidal ideation that landed him in a hospital under a 72 hour watch in 2014. I'm always waiting for the next disaster and it is playing havoc with headaches, neck and shoulder stiffness and pain -- all from staying in a "fight or flight" mentality, even when the day is going well. I am proud that I didn't give in to bail him out. Things worked out about as well as they could, under the circumstances. And I give God the credit for that. [/QUOTE]
