took jax to h/w/h (halfway house). he was advised to come back friday after court. so there we are. 4 days to keep this kid safe and motivated not to run. pfffft.
say it with me:
weeee can do it!
weeee can do it!
wecandoit, wecandoit!
he must do it. cuz if he bolts, there will be an arrest warrant issued; and instead of h/w/h -- jail. his choice.
he's in very good spirits, good attitude. so far, so good. seems he realizes we're serious about kicking him out. finally. yay for mom and dad. yay for jax.
thanks for all the e-mails and support and prayers. really. even if i haven't responded, please know i've read and wept over each and every single one. i love you guys.

WHAT THE HELL! He reaches out for assistance and they say.. "hey, well, what is four more days?"
Please tell me they offered more than just that as an option!
You are still in the forefront of my thoughts!

Tough love is just that...really tough on YOU as much as on him.
I do know where you are in this as we have had the same situations with my husband's brother. It's just really hard to do the "right" thing for them. My prayers are with you.
