[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 382611, member: 1233"] Don't beat yourself up for going and getting him. We ALL do it a few times. And it IS harder for dads, esp if the option is letting them stay in jail for the night. According to my husband (and verified by 3 tdocs - 2 of them men) most guys have a real fear that going to jail means that you WILL be raped. For most it is unspoken but that is what they think happens to ALL men who go to jail, esp those who have no experience with jails. They do think that women are safe from this the majority of the time if they are in jail/prison. I have no clue how realistic this is for men or for women, and don't really need to know. It was eye opening to learn this from my husband, then to have it confirmed. It is one reason that many fathers will bail out their kids over and over, even when they tell them they won't. Arguing with your husband over going to pick difficult child up was not going to help anything, TL. It would just further upset you both. I think you both handled things very well, and I hope that any fears never actually happen. To anyone's son or daughter. [/QUOTE]
