[QUOTE="PonyGirl, post: 148584, member: 187"] I had been trying to call difficult child for about a week now, and getting the automated message that his cell phone is no longer in service. Well, I figured that couldn't be good news. I was outside on my deck last evening, enjoying the gorgeous weather and talking with an old friend on my cellphone, when I hear my house-phone ringing inside. I walk in to check the caller ID, and see "Payphone" and think, oh, maybe it's difficult child. I said to my friend, 'hold on, I'm gonna let the machine pick up this call & if it's difficult child, I'll talk to him." The machine picked up. And I hear the dreaded recording, "To accept these charges, press 0, to deny these charges, press 1. This is a collect call from __(difficult child says his name)__ an inmate at Stupid County Jail." So, I did not pick up the phone. Just couldn't. He tried calling one more time about 20 minutes later, but I still didn't pick up the phone. My head is just spinning. The only thing I've decided is, easy child has a track meet tonite, and Prom this Saturday. I am not going to deal with any difficult child issues until next week. I am going to enjoy some more good easy child stuff, and especially not burden him with the new knowledge that his brother has once again lost his freedom. I guess I knew this was coming, but I am still devastated. Part of me doesn't even want to know the latest details. Whatever. So, I am once again reaching out to you my friends, people who know how I feel. Peace [/QUOTE]
