I turned my son in

Yep, I qualify for worst mother of the year! My 18year old has been messing up a lot. He was arrested in Jan. was lucky enough to be just facing probation. Well yesterday we noticed a lot of pot residue in our car that we gave to him. So we did a search in the car and found pot, a scale, baggies, pills ect. Confronted him and he said yes I'm selling it's great money...

So I called the police and they came to our house and took him. They cuffed him right in the dinning room, as my husband and I broke down and cried. If he has just been smoking pot, I wouldn't have done it, but he crossed the line by selling it. So he is in jail probably facing a pretty stiff sentence thanks to me.

We let him make his one mistake which he didn't learn from, he only seemed to get worse. I felt he was putting himself and my other two kids and my grandson in jeopardy. The cops talked to me for a long time and said I did the right thing. Said because they can see the love we have for him, they would help us in making sure he gets some help in prison. Which I hope he takes advantage of and decides to get his life on the right track.

It's called tough love, and it was the toughest thing I have ever done in my life. I have no idea why he turned out this way, we raised our kids well. The cops said that doesn't always matter, they see it all the time. I told him I was doing it because I love him, which I hope some day he realizes.

Thanks I needed to rant very badly I just feel like
