[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 93668, member: 2389"] I haven't posted much, but I have come to read some. I guess I am in the calmness before the storm, my son is still in jail, still saying everything I want to hear and I just listen and remind myself that actions speak louder than words... The case went to criminal court and he had to file for a new PD, he also filed youthful offender. He is still waiting for a court date. He turned 19 last sunday. His 17th birthday was in juvie, his 18th birthday was in the grouphome. Strange, this b'day didn't bother me like the other two, maybe I'm learning??? I don't have any idea what will happen when he goes to court, I am staying out of it as much as possible, but I still struggle with how much help I should offer when he is released. He owns nothing. I have what little clothes he hasn't left elsewhere in all his running. But that is all he has. I am not sure what to offer and what to let him struggle to gain on his own? This could be years away or he could get probation next week, I don't know. He is wonderful where he is now....I know the test starts when he is released, how much do you help them when they get out???? Traci [/QUOTE]
