I was shocked. I was not expecting to see anything like that. He has other court costs to pay as well.
Obviously this is his bill to pay, not mine, but of course, I am concerned. Its one of those times when I ask if it would be enabling of me to call the probation office and ask them how long he has to pay this? I mean it could take years, he has no job and probably won't for a long time. What are the consequences of him not paying for a long time?
Have any of you ever dealt with this issue? I simply can't fork out another dime on his problem. I have spent over $4,000 this year my mom has spent 10,000 this year and my sister 5,000. All of those costs were either for hospital, medical or rehab and repairs to his truck (which sold last week for less than the amount of repairs they paid for it...but at least it went to a good home and we got some of the money back).
Having an addict is more expensive than sending your kid to college :(
I have learned and will not be spending any more money on him other than buying him books, food and his meds.
