[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 550671, member: 3710"] Welcome to this board. Keep reading the posts and checking in here because you can learn a lot from the warrior parents on this board. I know how scared you are for your son, because my son is also in jail now. He is an addict and he has been locked up for more than 6 months. I was scared for his safety when he was first in the jail, and I was imagining all sorts of horrible things happening to my son. However he needed to be locked up in order to stop him from using drugs. He was able to get in a treatment program in the jail, and he received valuable counseling in this program. He is safe, and he is not with any violent prisoners. The worst thing that is happening to him is that he is bored out of his mind. My son was totally out of control before he was arrested, and he did not think any rules or laws applied to him. Now he has no control of his life at all, and this is a hard lesson for him to learn. My son is also immature, but he has had a lot of time to think day after day, and he is ready to take responsibility for his mistakes. I hope that the same thing will happen to your son. I will hope and pray that your son learn from this experience. And please remember that this in NOT your fault, and you are not to blame for your son. I repeat: This is NOT your fault! It is scary and upsetting and very sad, but it is not your fault. HUGS to you.... [/QUOTE]
