Question, maybe someone can answer
My son is scheduled to go to jail today on a warrant. He is the one who just completed the 28 day rehab and is scheduled to go to a halfway house. While he was in rehab, a cop called both my ex-husband and I and was asking where he was. My ex went to my son's probation officer and she sent paperwork from the rehab, etc. to the judge to get the warrant turned into a summons. This did not happen. The cop has known where my son was for the last three weeks, but, told my ex he would not go get him, and would let him complete rehab as long as he was being straight with him. He told my ex he could help my son get through the process easier and faster.
I kept thinking the cop was just saying that so my son wouldn't run, but, he could have picked him up anytime. My son called him last night to ask him where he wanted to meet, and what "how will this go down"? The cop said he could meet him wherever my son wants, he was just going to come up to the rehab center if that was okay. He said he would put the cuffs on him, transport him to jail, but that he already has been working on trying to get him out of here quicker. Is this just bullsh*t, or I guess my question is, why would he do this for my son? I keep thinking that when he picks him up, he's gonna say "haha, sucks to be you" and I hope I'm wrong, because my son has a great attitude right now. He's taking responsibility and he is really talking about things he learned in rehab. What do you all think?

Being responsible means accepting the consequences for one's actions. Many people with strong but new recovery can hang on to it while going to jail or doing what needs to be done to clear the past.
Trust the process, it's not yours to control (said with love by a mama).
So far it has been more than fair.
