[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 714807, member: 1550"] Hi. So sorry your birthday was ruined. Please...if that is your picture, for yoyr safety do take it down. This is a very busy forum.... Ok, a few thoughts. Yes, good kids make bad choices. But they arent normally bad enough to land them in jail and your son is an adult, not a kid. Sounds like you know the jail routine so he must have been there before. It didnt deter him.He is apparently one of the adult kids on thr forum that wont live a conventional life and chooses shortcuts (illegal) to get money maybe? Drugs are a factor? Rather than feeling sorry for him breaking the law, why not get angry? He isnt a victim. He knew whatever he did was illegal. And he is 25. A kid is 15. Even if he is immature, he is still 25 and society will treat him as such. It is up to you if you put money on tje books, buy him a phone, inconvenience yourself by frequent visits. You dont have to. Yoyr life is important too. You matter. You cant save your son. I suspect you know this. Why put your entire life on hold because your son broke the law? Self sacrifice wont help him. Only he csn figure out his life. Or not. I again am sorry your birthday was ruined and that you are. in pain. Are you in therapy to help you deal with this son? You would probably be happier if you detached a bit and took care of yourself. You earned it, right? Be nice to yourself. You are good and kind and have already spent years trying to help your son....right? [/QUOTE]
