I have a brother that went to jail.Just got a letter from him and he acts like it is everyone elses faul:cops,da,judge,lawyer. He complains about his fine,having to pay monthly for probabtion when he gets out,and not being able to move.
Do the crime do the time is MY motto. He looks at this sentence like a freaking vacation.A time to read and reflect.Wants me to send books and magazine.Nope,sorry you are in jail to be punished buddy.Even if I had extra cash it would be spent on my kids not on someone who takes absolutely NO responsibility for his actions.
Worse my mom sends him money.I bet my mom will pay his fine and/or his monthly probation fee.She almost lost her freaking house over him(for bond/bail),and cried for months for me to help get her out of that mess. It stressed me out so much.Now she is starting all over again with him.She says she will stop bailing him,and then she goes and sends him money.
Some people live their entire lives getting bailed out by loved ones,and I think that is a crappy thing to do to someone that loves you.Then it is crappy when they( bailer/enabler) cries to others about the situation.
Thank you for the vent.
