[QUOTE="rjrodgersblue, post: 760009, member: 26666"] Update on my son: the public defender (an angel from heaven) talked the States Attorney into putting my son in a "diversion" program, whereby he completes to the court's satisfaction 18 months of treatment and stays out of trouble (and sober). If my son can do that, they are willing to drop all charges. This is a miracle. Remember, until I turned this whole mess over to God, it wasn't looking good for my son, sitting in jail at the time and looking at possible sentence(s) of 5-10 years. Two days after I just gave up, a new public defender took over his case and started working hard to find a solution for helping him get his bipolar disorder under control and giving up the "self medication". He has been told repeatedly that if he blows this chance, there will be no more chances and the charges will all be reinstated. I am working with my therapist to figure out a "balance" -- of being hopeful and supportive, but not being devastated if he relapses. This is not an easy task. [/QUOTE]
