[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 661712, member: 18516"] First you have to remember that what he does is out of your control. Second, yes, it does get easier because you are stronger than you realize. The first time my son went to jail I was a mess. I too worried about what would happen to him. I learned very quickly that my son was tougher than I thought. I had an image in my mind of what I thought it was going to be like for him and it was nothing like that. Don't get me wrong, jail is jail and it's not a nice place to be. Again, as for living the way he is, I get that and yes it is scary. My son is 33 and he and many of the D C's we share about here live a lifestyle that's not always safe but somehow they always manage to survive. I do know you can drive yourself nuts worrying and worrying does no good, it changes nothing. It will only suck the energy right out of you. Try and stay busy do what you can to occupy your mind. Your son started a course of events and the outcome it out of your control. You only have control over yourself and how you will respond. Slow deep breathing a good thing. Focus on your breathing and stay in the present moment. You will get through this. :staystrong::notalone::group-hug: [/QUOTE]
