You absolutely, totally did the right thing. When my son got arrested last year and called in the middle of the night begging for help, I bailed him out and hired him an attorney. I thought I was being a loving father and doing the right thing! How wrong I was. If I had just left him there, a lot of misery could have been avoided. Good for you for standing firm.
