Hi,
I've been reading posts on here for quite a while. Finally signed up and now posting for first time. I've already tried to write something that
makes sense but deleted it.
All this concerns my son, in his early 40's.
There have been many years of lies and "technically" truths, jobless, homeless and petty crimes. Well, last year his "luck" ran out.
He got a six year sentence for B/E and residential burglary. He is up for parole and it was approved for sometime in November.
Since he has to have a place to go to, he wanted to use my address. He said he would change it the first time he met with a
parole officer. Change it to where I have no idea.
When corrections contacted me about letting him come here I refused. I said it would be better for everyone if he went to a reentry
program or transitional living or whatever it would be called. When son found out the refusal, he called to explain that he could
use my address and change it later (like I didn't understand). He practically demanded I change my answer.
I can't take the stress of dealing with him in my house, always waiting for the storm to hit. I really do want things to be different
for him but I don't want to be in the middle of "I can't find a place to go so I have to stay with you" trap.
I know my decision was harsh, but it was the best choice. I just feel guilty.........
