[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 704449, member: 18516"] Okie, your son has you right where he wants you, feeling guilty. He is using your emotions against you. My son has been in jail / prison a few times. I learned the hard way not to send money. Here's the thing, our little darlings did something wrong to get into jail / prison. Prison is not supposed to be comfortable and when we put money on their books it's making it easier for them. Their basic needs are being met. $90.00 a month is a lot of money especially for someone in jail. Yes, you are enabling him. Will your son pitch a fit when you shut down the ATM?? Probably but that's okay, let him. You are under no obligation to give him money. Again, prison is not supposed to be comfortable. If your son is anything like mine, once you stop sending money he may lie and tell you all kinds of horrible things in order to make you feel guilty in hopes that you will give in and send money. Okie, step out of the FOG - Fear, Obligation, Guilt. ((HUGS)) to you..... I know how hard this is. [/QUOTE]
