I feel like the world is caving in around me. Need some advice.
My son is 18yrs old. When he was 17 he was charged as an adult with property destruction (not anything big). His friends all got off because they were not 17 yet. Hired a lawyer for a lot of money and that went away after 1 yr of probation. He also lost a year of sports at school.
Son got a girlfriend who definatly gets around. He started to drink with her and go to clubs, sex, tatoo (which he wishes he didn't have). He got picked up about a week ago for a DWI. Again, 400.00 bail and 2500.00 to the lawyer, who tells me he can make it go away.
On the plus side, he has an athletic scholarship and is pretty smart. He will go away to college about 4 hours away from home in the fall. He is very sweet and loving to his family. He is remorseful.
Any advice would be welcome. I am so sad and just can't believe that my son is 18 and has been arrested twice. I have a 22 yr old daughter who has never given me trouble like this.
