[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 441858, member: 3305"] Dear Sickandtired1, Another here wanting to reach out and give you a (((hug))). I have also visited my son in Jail/prison and know the experience all too well. I want you to know there is hope. My oldest difficult child stole over 10K worth of computer equipment from a (former) client of my husband's. He stole it to sell and buy Meth...that was his horrible drug of choice. I convinced him to turn himself in to the police and he did, just barely. Visits with him started off with him threatening to kill himself in jail. It was such a nightmare...but I was very involved in Al Anon and they helped me set limits and boundaries to protect myself and strengthen my son. When he began to act up, the visit was OVER, I walked out many many times because of his behavior. During the first yr my son was locked up my husband did not visit him at all, only me. husband thought it best to give him additional "punishment" by not visiting him since difficult child had stolen from his client. It hurt me terribly at the time...but today. Today Oldest difficult child is working for husband again. And...working very very hard. He has a much older girlfriend that he lives with and they have a 1 yr old baby girl who he adores. He has been sober now for around 7 months and goes to church twice weekly. LOL in fact he has become a very conservative far right winged Christian. I got to the casino alot and I smoke cigarettes so I'm bad news now in his book, lol. So things can change...I am so happy you are already seeing a therapist and that you will go to Al Anon more often. The supports helps emensely. Glad you found us too during this time. Hugs, care and Prayer, LMS [/QUOTE]
