No bond, I think he maybe in some real trouble now. he was on probation when he got picked up friday night, as soon as they found out, he was caught again, they decided to keep him there. I told him several times, don't call me, I have gotten you out of trouble before, but I will not do it again, not for drinking. He listened to me, but he also told me several nights ago, dad, I am not going to stop drinking. That answered all of my questions about him and his troubles. He needs help, but has to want help first. He knows he is a drunk and he tells everyone he is a drunk, but he has never wanted any real help for his drinking problems. Thanks for asking and commenting on my son, maybe he will out grow this drinking, someday, Cat.

I know the feeling. MY boy will be 31 in Dec, and still lives at home. He hasn't worked since last October and hasn't had a driver's liscense in forever. He spends all his time drinking and partying. I'm not getting him out again, and I'm not paying any more fines. He'll just have to do the best he can. Good luck, and don't think you're the only one!

I'm really sorry you are having to go through all of this. I hope maybe he'll straighten out. You've done a whole lot for him Cat. Most likely more than he really deserved. You did your best. The rest is up to him.

Sometimes you just have to walk away.

Stay strong. As long as every body bails him out and cleans up his "messes", he won't face reality and sober up. It is very hard as a parent, you want to help your child, but they have to learn to help themselves first.

If it was up to me, he would stay there for a very long time. At least now, I know where he is and he is not driving around drunk. He has never hurt anyone, but himself. Joey got it honest, his dead mama was a drunk and her liver was gone, she died at the young age of 52.
