[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 294120, member: 1545"] I agree that this is an intensely personal decision. My brother in law has been in and out of jail and prison for more years than I can count. It has been interesting to watch the family's response to this. Some have refused to visit. Others not only visit, but send him money for the commissary. Is one right or wrong? No. You and husband need to do what feels right in your heart. Even if that means doing different things for your son. I will add one caveat: I am currently leading a jail group through my work. I can't tell you how much family visiting means to an inmate. What I hear from them is that they equate those visits with still being loved and valued in spite of their poor choices. Letters mean very much to them as well. Good luck to you and your family. [/QUOTE]
