I would have gone the intervention route personally but then again it all happened so fast, the panic, the fear...who knows how anyone of us would have reacted.

Yes I can live with my decision. The consequences that will be the tough part, as I know there is a good possibility that jail will make him worse when he gets out. It didn't really happen that fast, I've been watching him go down hill for a while. He's been in counseling since his first arrest, was grounded, lost the car, his tv, his pc etc. He seemed to be doing great so got some of his privileges back. It was just for show though as we soon found out. I really feel and it breaks my heart to feel this way, that he is not going to change. I had to do something drastic to hope he does. Some people have said I should have put him in the Armed Services. I would have tried to go that route but he was born with Hemophilia so could never get in. I did what I felt I had to do.
