[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 749693, member: 13303"] DS re-entered our lives a while ago. He got into serious legal trouble. He has several felony charges pending. We bailed him out of jail and sent him first to a 30 day rehab. Yesterday we took him to a halfway house. He is now 18, almost 19. He refuses all medications. His moods are wild and vacillating. He is not at all happy that he permanently derailed his gravy train with F, and that now he is facing consequences which defy "protection" via F's enabling and W's denial of the seriousness of his mental health issues. He has been mostly pleasant, but there are enough flashes of the angry, violent young man who caught his pending charges for us to be sufficiently wary. His case will take some time to wend its way through the court system. Incarceration is a possibility. We are not paying for legal counsel. He has a public defender. Meanwhile, we are in contact with YS as well. He is diminished intellectually and spiritually from his near-fatal suicide attempt in 2017. His memory is shot and he appears easily confused. He is now dating a girl we don't like, who is living with him and F (long story), sharing YS' bed (they are both 17) and without whom he refuses to see us; everything we buy for YS such as dinner out, we must also buy for the girlfriend or YS won't see us. I am working hard to maintain my distance so my codependency stays in its pen. W and I are doing well overall. [/QUOTE]
