My son was a formerly successful businessman who has been charged with many white-collar felonies. He has never been in trouble with the law and says he is not guilty now, but the prosecutor acts like he has a major criminal in his sites. Bail was set high and a hold was put on it (couldn't come from him because he is presumed to have only dirty money). Our son did not have any money when he was arrested. My husband and I are not wealthy, but after 3-1/2 months, we were able to get bail posted and get our son out of jail. Our son didn't sleep or eat, and he clearly has PTSD from his experience after just that much time. He is now trying to make arrangements for a private attorney. The DA is trying to come up with a reason to lock my son up again. My son has found a roommate and is borrowing a car and working, but this thing is far from over. The lawyer says it could be six months before trial, if there is a trial. I just want it to be over! But with a good resolution! I could go on, but everyone here has a story, and I'm sure many are much worse than mine. I just want the knot in my stomach to go away, and I want my life back. Does anyone have a way of staying in balance? My husband says this has taken over our lives. It has seriously damaged us financially, and we're not done yet.
