[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 443038, member: 3305"] Thinking of you CTmom, I remember when my son (oldest difficult child) was in Jail/Prison. I would often go to an Al Anon meeting after visiting him. There was a woman in the meetings who had "lost" her son for good...he had died as a result of his drug use. I remember thinking that THAT was a woman, a mom, who knew more hurt than I did...at least there was still Hope with mine. And so I offer you that same sense of hope. And the knowledge that progress can be made while serving time as welll. I am so sorry for the emmense sadness, pain from this sentence. I know we all learn to live with what we are given...sigh, but it still hurts. I do hope that you are a part of "real world" support group in addition to CD Board. I think the more support you have from people who have been there/done that the better. Hope you'll stay in touch with us here and let us know how you, family, and son are doing. Gentle hugs and care, Love, LMS ps...I also would like to know what "we" can do as far as sending letters to your son or cards along the way. I corresponded with a few of my oldest difficult child's inmate buddies and one wrote me regularly and sent me beautiful artwork as well. I even have one of his drawings framed. So please let us know how we can support your son too. [/QUOTE]
