I got a call from a Juvenile detention centre last night. They wanted to tell me all their rules so that I can take calls from Jamie and visit him too. I spoke to Jamie for a couple of minutes and he was very upset with me that I didn't bail him out. He started crying on the phone and when I hung up I was crying too. I know this is what it's going to take to make him start thinking seriously about what he's been up to but omg it hurts.
Tonight Katie and I went out for dinner as BT was visiting family. We went to a great japanese restaurant and then finished off my christmas shopping. At least I've gotten something accomplished this week other than sitting around crying. The only really worrying thing today is when we got home I found a message on the machine from OTHER police department wanting to talk to me about Jamie. I tried calling back but I'm only getting voice mail this is just one more worry I didn't really need. *sigh*

Well You did the right thing! It is sooo very hard to do that. I did it with my son too. I told him he was responsible for his own actions, That I loved him as much as I ever did but I was VERY dissappointed in his choices. He paid all his own fines, his own counseling, and his own damages. It is a very hard life lesson for them, but eventually it sinks in. Tim is 33 now, but was just in jail again last year. He caught 'STUPID' and there is no cure for that!
I wish you luck Mom, and DONT CAVE IN!!! Just take Kleenex and blow! If you need to talk, email me. dreamer (at) galaxynet (dot) com
