Do you think that if anyone gave him another opportunity he would actually take it? seems like he has his own agenda....
I am very sorry for your pain, but he has no respect for you or society. You are fearful of your OWN SON. He knows that mama will provide whether he is in society or prison.
there are many people on this forum whose children have gone to prison, the results are mixed.
I hope that you can find some peace within yourself without enabling him further.
and btw, I am the alcoholic.
