Can Things Get Worse??

Dae Lynn seems to be buying all his lies about how bad it was at rehab. She brought him by here so he could see the kids and I stayed in the house. I really don't have anything to say to him. He's telling Dae Lynn that he really wants to be at Neosho at Teen Challenge........and my reply to that is that he should have gone through the proper channels to have gotten that done. Now he's going to be going to jail and finishing out his sentence there. STUPID!!!!

I guess that Damon's Mom's health has been really bad. I knew that she had been in the hospital a while back with congestive heart failure so she doen't want Damon there either. I'm not sure exactly where Dae Lynn is taking him......I just know that he's NOT staying here. I'm done trying to give him any support until he shows me that he's really wanting to change.

He's just stalling - I agree with Judy, he's not ready for rehab and he doesn't want to be at another facilitiy. If that were all it was, he could have asked for a transfer and done it the proper way. I doubt they will ever take him back anywhere. Yes, I would imagine it was difficult in rehab, that is the nature of rehab programs. Some people never learn - Dae Lynn will learn but maybe not this time. Don't you just want to shake kids sometimes, even when they are grown.

How long will he have to stay in jail to finish his sentence? If he thought rehab was hard....what is jail going to be like for him.

But in jail, you just sit there, you really don't have to do much. In rehab, you have to WORK and FACE your DEMONS.

True.....jail may be the easy way. I feel so bad that Dae Lynn and the kids have to deal with this.

When he's been in jail before we've gotten him out on work release......which is basically he's out. It costs us $20 a day to get him out but I think that this time everyone's fustrated enough that he'll just be sitting in jail the whole time.

I really think that he would like to change but he's not willing to give up anything to begin the change.......like lying. He lied to Dae Lynn all summer about not chewing......but Amy found a spit cup at the church a couple of days ago that was tucked away. He was out on work release to work at the church all summer. Just a simple thing......just tell Dae Lynn the truth......and she asked him a lot of times about it but he denied it. Fool me once.....shame on you......fool me twice......shame on me. That's where I'm at right now. I'm not buying anything that he says!!!!

Dae Lynn took him to a small motel in town last night. Hopefully he'll either be in jail or find a place to stay......but I don't know where. Maybe Dae Lynn will know when she gets home from work. I feel really guilty about him not having a place to go to but on the other hand.......he was provided a place to stay for the next year!!!! UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Why does he need a place to stay if he is going to jail?

I can understand your anger and frustration with him. I have felt the same way about Steve many times.

I am praying for the best outcome, Diana.
