[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 738608, member: 18958"] Look heavy. I would want to pay fines, too. I am like you. But where would this stop? Look at this another way. Nobody is dead. Yet. But who knows next time? Son is not getting this. This is not working. If it were, there would be another conversation. Hubs has a point. It could be argued that paying the fines could be supporting a worse outcome. We just do not know. 14 years is the worst case. They may give him no time. He could get some kind of diversion. Or treatment. probation. Or a year or two. this could save his life and the lives of others. Your husband did not cause this. your son made these choices. He did so with every opportunity handed him, to change course. This does not mean he deserves to suffer. But it means this is the reality HE is dealing with. Of course we do not want son to suffer unduly. But sometimes in life there is only the least of worst options. And sometimes the best of these is taking responsibility. Sometimes these guys real lives begin with stepping up. [/QUOTE]
