We got ours... (references to the thread "prayers for mr. sagesofages")

A sincere and truly remorseful apology from our son to his family for the hurt and tears caused this last 10 days, an admission that he truly does have a problem with substance abuse, and the acknowledgement of transgression previously committed to the judge.

He plead guilty to the lesser of the three charges against him, with the theft charge held over until January 4. The judge released him to our custoday and to a day treatment program, so our son is home at least for Christmas.

Saddly without the cooperation of the other perpetrators, we will not be able to recover items that were pawned at this time.

So we have a smaller Christmas, just for the children...

I have my spousal unit, I have my children, a house to live in and relatively secure employment (in today's world that is a lot!)
