[QUOTE="Origami, post: 635265, member: 18099"] daughter in law posted bond for him last night. I ended up contributing $200, which I am comfortable with, and she used her paycheck for the rest. Son is out getting a haircut now and will pick his kids up from their soccer and dance programs this morning, take them to McDonalds, pick up daughter in law at work, and then back here. He said he'll try to hire an attorney before his arraignment on Wednesday and can use his bond money for payment. I haven't had a chance to talk to them beyond the few words with difficult child this morning, but I do think it's finally time for us to have the boundaries discussion (ie how long they can stay, etc.). Of course, whatever happens on the Wednesday court appearance will have an effect on that. Despite many warnings from people of not to get too hopeful, I'm breathing easier this morning with hope that this will be the turning point for difficult child. The haircut alone makes me happy since even before his arrest he'd been looking more and more like a drug addict (which he was, or is?). Maybe he's seeing this as another fresh start? I know, only time will tell. He also said he's getting rid of the battered flannel jackets and shirts he used to wear when he sought out his drugs. All external things, I know, but I'm grasping at anything positive at this point. He remains a kind, helpful person, which makes setting boundaries more difficult for me. [/QUOTE]
