[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 382208"] Thanks.... I am doing ok. I am getting so used to these calls. Ugh. I was talking to a friend this morning and she was saying to me he needs to learn to think before he acts and was suggesting cognitive behavioral therapy... All that sounds good BUT I said to her first he has to look at why he needs to break the rules. He has to have some kind of epiphany that he wont break the rules of society..... otherwise learning to think before he acts will just help learn how not to get caught!!! And that is his thinking he needs to learn to not get caught. No he needs to learn to not do this stupid stuff in the first place. i certainly don't want to help with therapy to be a better criminal!!! He did call me today asking for a ride to court tomorrow. And he did ask me to give him again the phone number of the lawyer. I also asked him about bringing some stuff for him and he said don't do that because I might be held. He called in sick today because this might be his last day of freedom. So I think he is probably feeling a bit scared with the realization that tomorrow they could hold him without bail. I am of very mixed feelings about his possibility. It may be what he needs but I can't really hope for it either. It is good to know others on this board have been through this stuff.... really in my life my son is so far out there from most peoples kids. [/QUOTE]
