[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 374582, member: 8617"] JJJ- My experience is in working with and being related to a lot of people who work in the "big boy" system so I can't say a lot for sure about the juvies. In big boy jail drugs are very easy to get, suprisingly easy. The only difference is the cost, it is much higher. Most lock up systems aren't as tightly secure as we may think because most of the junk actually rides in on dirty staff. *sigh* Frequent but surprise urine tests are great if difficult child can get them. If it isn't a surprise and is done on a routine a lot of partying happens just after a test and then the night before the next people stay up ALL night drinking water until they are sick with it to dilute the urine. (I saw a herd of inmates doing this like clockwork, I was working not incarcerated by the way, lol) I really hope juvie is better. The system really isn't set up to rehabilitate, they go through the motions but the main goal is to carry out sentences, feed and keep breathing. The rest is just a bonus. klmno- I whole heartedly ditto the idea for Mom to concentrate on herself right now. Aside from worry and the occasional visit there isn't much that can be done. Case workers usually set up transitional housing so that takes a big burden off. difficult child is as safe as he can be given the circumstances so take this time to be selfish, think only of yourself, follow your dreams and do what you need to do to live the rest of your life the way that makes you safe and feel happy. Like a phoenix rising out of the ashes or a humble lotus seed sprouting something magnificent out of mud you can create a world of beauty and strength all of your own. The more days that pass and the further you get the better it will feel. The hardest part is getting the momentum started. After your tears dry up the sun will begin to shine. [/QUOTE]
