[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 725703, member: 20054"] Hi Tammy. As a mean mom who left her son in jail over holidays for a month...I feel your pain. Not your fault though, was it? Albie's text idea is great. Our son called my husbands work from jail, secretary and others took the calls, we had a lot to pay back before telling everyone that answered phone to not do that. Yes, it was humiliating but also freeing to not be hiding our mess. He can use that $300 for stamps and write you. You can open it or not, there is no need to take jail calls which abuse you begging for bail. This is truly clear thinking. Our addicted sons/daughters are not who they were. Drugs change everything. Until you see real change with your own eyes just know that constant lying goes with the territory. We have found this so hard to accept but are gradually seeing the truth in it. Do I want the funny, loving not drug addled son back? Of course. But today is not that day and I still have to find happiness in my circumstances as they are...may you find some joy today. You are not alone. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
