Tonight Middle Boy and I had a discussion about his court appearance and the direction the county attorney is thinking of taking the case. 

We discussed that while it may not be totally what he is interested in doing that he is part of a family now and that may mean doing something that isn't entirely ideal for him it is for the good of the whole.

He seemed to understand it.  I'm sure that it is disappointing to him, but he gets what he is going to need to do.

Prayers for learning hard lessons.
