[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 96050, member: 3626"] I agree with Pony even though my daughter has never been in jail. I've spent one complete Christmas without her and one partial. The first one, I had no idea where she was, if she was safe, sheltered or anything. That Christmas almost destroyed me. The semi-Christmas was when she lived with friends but wanted her presents. I told her if she couldn't even bother being here for Christmas dinner, I certainly couldn't bother giving her her gifts. She came for dinner, I gave her some of her gifts. Maybe it was petty, but I kept several of them for me or returned them to stores. I could think of no reason to give them to such an uncaring person even if it was my daughter. It truly hurt a lot. Jail would have been better since at least I would have known she was safe and getting a Christmas dinner of sorts in the first case. In the second, she wouldn't have had a choice where to spend her Christmas and I don't think I would have been so hurt even though I would have been incredibly sad. [/QUOTE]
