I did the same thing just a few months ago.... Remember these "A"'s are very clever.
My AH talked his way out of jail for the night... his 86 year old parents bailed him out.
Courtdate came up and the slapped him with only Anger management classes.
The judicial system where I live "dont get it"
I told them that anger comes with his drinking,,, and this alcholic needs to be forced into treatment, random checking of alchohol, bla, bla, bla and none of that happened.
So after all that stress and excitment... he is now back home like nothing went on.
