Hi Benro. So sorry for your pain.
Our camping trips were interrupted for years due to son spiraling out of control when we were gone, before we went, after we returned...we finally realized not to associate that with our going/enjoying ourselves. In reality, his drama went on all the time. It was not better or worse when we were gone, just more memorable for us. It actually was one of our better trips when he was jailed the night before we left-I didn't wonder where he was and what he was doing. Many of us here know the pain of calling the police on our kids. I truly am thankful for the officers who so compassionately understood.
You are so correct, the right thing is difficult many times, but this time you do it for not only you but for him. You've tried as hard as you can, now his actions have made the decision. Prayers.
