I don't regret phoning the PO. I wasn't really sure if it was the thing to do or not at the time and I worried about it being me trying to enforce consequences or be controlling.
Believe me when I say the stepson hated me for the first while.
oh well.
I did it because of what it was doing to his dad and I was fed up with it. I didn't want to deal with it anymore. I didn't know who it was going to take out first..the stepson or the dad..it was bad.
I felt very guilty when he got sentenced. I have gotten over it. Completely.
It would have happened sooner or later anyway..if he was still alive and that was getting questionable.
As I said before...he acknowledges today that being in prison saved his life.
We do what we know at the time..after that all I can do is let go of the outcome.
