Jail Jail

Oy, I got woke up @ 4a.m. my X's roommate's are calling me, cos well he's in jail.

He busted for a DUI as well as No Driver Lic!
They need $200 bucks to get him out. They need it before 8pm tonight, if not he won't be able to get bailedo out. He'd have to stay in jail until he's court date on Wend.

He's is to start a new job monday!!!

So here I am trying to get a hold of people back home to help gather money to get him out. My gut says let him ROT, but that hart of mine says bail him out.

He's been driving a friend of ours car while their in boot camp. I guess the roommate's got the car back with out any problem.

To be honest I am not sure how many people will pull through to bail him out. *sigh* traggic

I agree, don't bail him out. Maybe he will get some help now.

He shouldn't be drinking anyways with his meds.

His roommates just called me to let me know they got the money to bail him out. He called them and gave him his dads number. So yet again daddy is bailing him out. He only calls daddy when he needs money.. traggic..

I passed on to have him call me when he gets out. So I can rip him a good one for his actions.

I am always at my witts end with him..

Wow. I don't know if I would have bailed him out. I truly am sorry for what you are going through. Sorry i have no words on this one other than to say I hope things go well for you.

hay it ok, to want to bail him out its normal and its even ok to bail him out. more importantly is when he gose to court on weds, you be their and do what ever you need to to get the court to order long trem rehab for him, beg, plead, and pray, letting him rott will not help him at all, he needs impaitent treatment, my uncle was the same way and it was not until my family got on the judge and said look he wont get help on his own, instead of sending him to jail, send where he can get help for the same for same about of time plus 1 months. ( exple if the was sentence for 6 mons in jail then have him do seven in rehab. also have him sent to a hospital for a phyic intake, this he can not leave its not vountry because has been arrested and this way they can start all blood work and any other kinds of test that may need to be done, this is not walking away, or heres some money, your out of jail, pay a few fimns and everything ok till next time. this is we love u here are the tools you need to clean up your act and when it is all said and done, my hope is that everything works out for u.

Do people get assessed for mental health conditions in jail, or are they even allowed independent Advocates to speak on their behalf?

I'm glad it wasn't you who did it. You need to distance yourself from him as all he does is cause you trouble.
I don't know about the mental help side of things in jail, but if he won't accept being BP or needing help, then there's really no use, is there?

You can only help those who help themselves.

Especially in a relationship.
