[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 753992, member: 21499"] Sounds so familiar. One thing i learned from others on this forum is if i want to give him something i pay it directly. For the rent i would write a check to the landlord then he can't spend it on something he shouldn't. He didn't like that and would try to say just give me cash and i said i have to put it on a card i don't have cash. I totally agree about the car i don't want to feel responsible for him hurting someone in a car. Another thing i have used to help me is to remind myself what i was doing at his age and that his younger brothers are independent. It was not your choice for him to sell drugs and that making finding a job hard is not your responsibility. Most jails have reentry programs did he take advantage of it? I once googled and found a list of places that will hire ex cons. Ultimately though it is his consequence not yours. We all cave in under certain circumstances forgive yourself and move on.
