Hi Racer and All who responded ..
Yes, I do know that I have to take care of myself. This is just something that I never could have prepared for .. a child of mine having numerous legal problems.
To those of you who were derailed by my original long post .. the sheriff dept was calling to ask our son "questions". Apparently they had seen his car in the parking lot (that son took purse in) with the store security cameras. Our son finally DID call him back (yesterday) and answered the sheriff's questions .. which was "confessing". He is already on probation from offenses from last spring. (See my first orginal post) So, he has violated probation and his probation officer says that there is a very good chance he will go to jail. ..And then of course .. he will have to be "processed" through for the actual crime that he committed. Who knows what that will bring for him NOW! We feel that judges were pretty lenient on him the "first times". Considering the situation NOW, I'm thinking he will have "harder time" to serve. (The only thing he had to do previously .. is pay all fines, go to behavior classes, do community service and be on probation for six months.) We paid all of his fines .. which came to several thousand dollars. (We were trying to insure that he did not do jail time.)
My husband was SO mad when our son finally called him to tell him what was going on. He told him he had to get out of the house and that we were not going to help in any way shape or form on what he was going to have to go through with the court systems now. So, our son is now staying at a friends house (which is violating probation .. he is NOT supposed to be anywhere but home after 11 p.m. at night.) My husband doesn't care (or so he says.)
I have a tendency to go on and on .. whenever I type posts (on any board) and my posts get too long. I will end this particular post now. I just wanted to (kind-of) update on what has transpired since my last post yesterday. I do have more that I would like to ask/pose to you folks here and that will be later this morning.
Thanks for your support,
Flame
