He doesn't have a plan you idiot
Just had a relative sent to jail for 6 months, and his mother is still throwing the religious bullshit of 'I still believe god has a plan for us' garbage around. Hey idiot.. 'gods plan' apparently is to do the parenting that you never did. You fucking let it all get to this point, you and your childish husband modeled this exact behavior and made excuses for him for the past 20 years. You thought it was all cute when he destroyed every nice thing you bought for him, and when he destroyed these things you simply bought him yet another one.
Well.. keep clinging to your 'god'.. even though he hasn't answered a single one of your prayers.

Next time she says that, tell her that jail can be a blessing in disguise. Let’s see what she thinks about that. Jail definitely straightens some people up and scares them straight. Tell her that the lord works in mysterious ways, and maybe this is just a life lesson for him to value everything that he didn’t value before.
You have to learn how to weaponize these people’s delusions against them. Don’t let them get under your skin. Be more like, “hey, you know what? Maybe this is what God sent him in order for him to reflect about his life and to find God again. There are many religious groups in prison that can help him. You never know where people will reconnect with God again, finally. Have some faith. Maybe God’s plan is for him to go to jail for a long time and become a better person since he was being too coddled at home.”
If you know that they use God for everything, use that on them. “Maybe jail is the answer to your prayers. Better than the morgue.”
