I am sitting here waiting to hear about my son who was just arrested for a dui.

This is just too hard sometimes.

I hear you (((((gailey)))). When does it stop? My son has been there and still hasn't straighten it out. Detachment with love comes to mind.

In support,
Nancy

Really sorry Gailey... we can only pray & hope that this is HIS bottom, and it will be the start of his road to recovery...

Take care
Tom

Sorry u have to go thru this , but now is the time to let him grow up and take responsibility for his own actions - until we stop doing for them what they should be doing for themselves , nothing will change.  Detach with love but leave this with  him where it belongs .   Louise

(((Gailey))) Try to detach with love.... I agree with Abbyal let him face the consequences of his actions...it's tough I know....but until he takes responsibility for himself nothing will change.

Gailey, focus on you. Like the others who have posted, I am sorry that you are in this painful place. You are not alone, we are all here holding your hand and loving you regardless of your feelings, the situation, etc. You are a part of our family and we love you. You will get through this. My best thoughts are with you, my friend. Hugs, J.

((((Gailey)))),

I am so sorry this happened.  I know how hard this can be.  All you can do is focus on you and your program.  He needs to step up to the plate and accept responsibility for his actions.  I always told Tim that if he was ever in the same situation I would bring his meds down to the jail, but the rest would be up to him.  You know what to do.  You're a strong woman.  Be thankful no one was hurt.  It could have been much worse.  Meanwhile Pipers and I are sending you extra love and prayers to you and your family.

Live strong,

((((Gailey)))

I'm sure you know what to do and how to do it (although, always difficult), so I won't go there.  I just want to give you a really big ((((HUG)))).  I also know that this must be immensely disappointing after all you've been through with him. 
Let's hope this is a big slip and the DUI will jerk him back to reality and sobriety. 
Be strong, we're here to lean on if needed.
