I spoke with my son tonight. His mouth said the things I would like to hear him say. Time will tell if the walk will do the same. I know he is scared, He did say though "this might all come out good....I can see this is not where I want to be." He has a court appearance at 1 pm tomorrow. Now to me. I am really angry with my sister. Son said they would drop or reduce charges if he told where he got the drugs. I want him to tell. He will not. I feel like she has lived her life. She is an adult figure in his life and should be an example, not a pill supplier. I guess this was the first time this went down, however i don't know if I believe that. This building resentment is going to do me no good. Trying to protect my son, will do me no good. So back to the 3 C's for me...and some pretty heavy step one, two, three work.
Thanks for listening to me...Prayers are being accepted at my address, if ya have a few to spare. God Bless, Carol
Aloha Greta and welcome to the journey. Sounds like some detachment from the problem to save your own spirit (not to mention your hide) can work wonders and if you don't like feeling the resentment try feeling the opposite...forgiveness. The outcome is so much more peace of mind and serenity.
Prayers coming your way.................and the right outcome, for all of you concerned. Blessing in disguise? Could be lets hope so, and perhaps some of this insanity will end once and for all....Thinking of you in these troubled times.
(((((((Greta)))))) Sending you lots of prayers. Remember to breathe kiddo ;) and one hour at a time...So glad ur here sharing with us. Lightens the load a bit for me when I reach out. hugs!! ~ Carla

I always have enough room for prayers. I hope all goes well for you and your son. I know the resentment thing is going to be hard to let go of. Perhaps ask yourself this: Is it worth my valuable time and energy feeling resentment towards my sister?
Love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

It is my experience that, in the court system, that things are very professional. I heard a lead about someone in your son's position. The court offered him probation, counceling, and community service if he told where he got his drugs, and he refused to tell where he did. So, they ordered him to three years in prision. He realized within 6 months that the people he bought his drugs from didn't care about him, and that he was protecting people who could've cared less about him. He got in contact with the prison AA system there, and began working the 12 steps of AA in prison. He now has 6 years continuous sobriety, and works with the Montgomery county prosecutor as a liason with prisoners or prisoners to be, by simply telling his story. "Don't protect these guys man, they're not worth it. I did 3 years for exactly where you're at, and they never called, never visited, nothin'!" He also does prison meetings of AA, I believe. I can't say that this would happen to your son, I would never wish prison on anyone's family. But I want you to know that, if it does happen, that there is hope, still.
