Dreamcatcher, I have seen mine get handcuffed and arrested three times now and thats in addition to the bountyhunters tracking him down at my parents at 1 in the morning. It does really have a lasting effect. Mine is being sentenced on Feb 7, and I know he will go away for awhile (2-6 years they say at DOC).
I can understand all of your feelings and they are most likely all warranted...you didnt cause this....saying goodbye may have hurt more....you helped him all you could.....you can still love him while he is away....work on you while he is there....and you just never know what kind of wonderful changes he may make while he is there....becuase he has to.
Best wishes and support
