[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 22903, member: 1169"] CA Mom We have a cardinal rule in our house. No visits in jail, ever. If our kids do something bad enough to go to jail, they can rot. We'll send letters and do phone calls but that is it. I am not a criminal and I will not go to a jail. We even limit visits when hospitalized. At Kanga's first hospitalization we called every day and visited her 6 times in 14 days. She never really engaged in the program. Her 2nd hospitalization was for 7 days and she got 1 visit (for family therapy). We called her the first night and explained that she would need to call us each future night if she wanted to say good night. I know they are ill but because they are mentally ill they need to work harder to make good choices, they aren't excused from making those good choices. Be strong!! Great first phone call with him. Enjoy some thing fun just for you so you'll have the strength for phone call #2. Come back to this board for support whenever you need it, we'll all be here for you. [/QUOTE]
