MWG, I and others have talked to you in the past about these things..... First, I'm sorry your son has decided to make some poor choices. I told you back in time that I felt that a little punishment would have done him some good, you didn't feel that way. Your son knew the boundaries of his probation, but yet decided to risk that by doing something foolish. Of all the things, DUI is the dumbest, there are so many avenues for people to get transportation, its really silly to drive intoxicated. He knew that any run-ins with the law would result in jail time and he did it. I think he needs some punishment to show him that he won't be rescued every time he gets into trouble. I really think you have done all you can for your family, I think you have gone above and beyond for everyone. I think its time for you to think about yourself and make a new start for you, that includes your H as well. Get yourself away from this drama and stress.
