Sorry Katie. We tried for years to fix things so my AS would not have a record. Well he stole when he wasn't living with us so we did not get a chance to fix it. He went to jail for 6 weeks and now he has a felony (theft by deception) on his record. All those years and all that money and it still didn't help. What goes thru their minds is so unreal and frightening. And hard to understand. Your son sounds just like mine in active addiction.
At some point you just can't protect them anymore and that is what hurts so much.
