[QUOTE="detachingmother, post: 680384, member: 20063"] I think Son is "settling" into jail culture. Probably will not be much to talk about now, as I have settled into and accepted the new (old) "normal" now too as much as possible. He's back on medications, supposedly going to some NA classes there, and working a trustee job. He's also supposedly reading the books I've sent. (I say supposedly a lot when talking about him, bc he lies a lot). He has been trying to call me, but I am following his own advice about not putting $ into his account, other than maybe $10 of Thursdays. We shall see.... I am worried a little bit about the latter part of his sentence. He's supposed to go to an inpatient treatment hospital directly from jail. But, I talked to a very long time friend/social worker last night who deals with that hospital. She said what almost always happens is the person gets there, and only ends up staying at most, 14 days. Even if they have been sentenced through court. The usual, no beds open long game. Fingers crossed, and that bridge will be crossed when we get to it. But, if not I think it will be yet another let down for him, as much as it will be for me....let downs are not good for people who really want to help themselves. And, while this was forced upon him, he "sounds" like he really was looking forward to it. Oh well...cross that bridge when we get there. Off to work I go....must keep self busy, or I will go crazy.
