Today, I bailed my brother out of jail for violating a restraining order filed against him by his ex. I dropped him off at the place he told me he was staying at. Turned out it was his ex's house, and now he's in jail again. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to bail my ex-husband out of jail. He didn't want his new wife to get mad at him. FML
Today, I had to bail my brother out of jail because he started a fight with a guy who didn't like owls. FML
Today, I got to drop off my boyfriend at his newest place of residence: jail. FML
Today, upon getting the paperwork for my Court Diversion, I found out I had to write an apology letter to my brother. The brother who sent me to jail for trying to get him to stop abusing his girlfriend, and holding him instead of fighting when he charged at me. FML
Today, my brother was arrested for starting a fistfight at a funeral. He didn't even know the deceased; he's just been crashing funerals recently, hoping to hook up with mourners. I'm not sure who's more pathetic: him for doing such a thing, or me for bailing his fucking dumb arse out of jail. FML
Today, my ex got arrested for stealing. His new girlfriend texted me asking if I could lend her money to bail him out. FML
Today, I had to bail my husband out from jail for almost killing someone. What happened? He and my sister-in-law were in an grocery store when she spotted his old high school nemesis, who back then was the biggest bully in school. She thought that it would be "exciting" to see what would happen if their paths crossed again. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally met my brother. He arrested him for drunk driving. FML
Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me from jail, expecting me to bail him out. He'd tried to buy a load of booze at the liquor store and came up short by ten cents. The cashier refused to be short-changed, and he figured the only reasonable reaction was to punch her in the face. FML
Today, I've been guilt tripped, ranted at, called names, ostracized and told what a horrible person I am for, "turning my back on family." My former brother is in jail for unspeakable crimes, yet somehow I’m the bad guy for not standing by and supporting him or offering to help pay for a lawyer. FML

You shouldn't have bailed him out at all. Just leave him in there so his ex can be safe.

Sounds like you aren't too close to him, so I'm surprised you bailed him out in the first place.

Isn't It Ironic? 24
You shouldn't have bailed him out in the first place. Even if you did, you should have kept him from him ex afterwards. I'm sure there was a reason he had a restraining order on him.

Call me crazy but I'm pretty sure OP made it pretty clear that they didn't know it was the ex's house.

Well other than obvious "Don't bail him out again " comments, I think the point here is that firstly even the police won't allow a second bail and secondly Op just lost his bail money..

Poor ex... Never in peace! I'd be terrified if someone (apparently insane) kept violating the restraining order, no matter what!

Leave him be. He's obviously not getting the point. If he asks you to bail him out again, consider his ex's feelings first before him. He had his chance.

Was it his house or his ex? Now, did she contact him? Why does she have a restraining order?

All irrelevant.
