[QUOTE="donna723, post: 642364, member: 1883"] WM, Midwestmom is not saying those things to you to be cruel. Yes, she is blunt and says exactly what's on her mind. But she is a realist and she's only trying to get you to see the situation for what it is. To you, he's still your little boy that you love and worry about and see in only the best possible light. To you he is "special" and deserves to be loved and forgiven. I used to work in a Close Security state prison that housed over 1,200 inmates. Every one of them knew there were consequences for the crimes they committed and committed the crimes anyway. And almost every one of them has a mama out there who loves them and thinks they are "special". Every one of them was somebody's little boy. Yes, there is a place for love and forgiveness but there is also a place for consequences for breaking the law, for inflicting harm on innocent victims. I guarantee you that the courts are not going to see your son as special or as a misguided little boy who deserves to be forgiven and sent on his way. If he should be excused for what he did, what about all the others, many of them with less serious charges than what your son is facing. Should they all just be excused too? Not everyone in prison is a bad person. Some are. But some are basically good people who did bad things. However this comes out, if your son sees the light and decides that this is not the way he wants to live, then it's all for the good. [/QUOTE]
