[QUOTE="PonyGirl65, post: 686938, member: 20087"] It used to be my worst fear that my son would go to jail. I KNOW what you are saying when you say you don't want him to go. Please believe me, I KNOW! But guess what else I know: When my son FINALLY went to jail, I found it to be a RELIEF. I know where he is, he is safe and warm. He is not drinking or using drugs. He is not able to hurt himself or anyone else. He's been in and out of jail almost half his life now. He just never learns. He is a hopeless drug addict. He is also my favorite person in the whole wide world. But his addiction has taken him away from me and turned him into a lying stealing harmful human being. He was recently sentenced to 5 years in prison for felony burglary. And now, despite my worst fear that he would go to prison, my thoughts have turned to: Well, there's better programs available at State prison then there is at County jail. My son has seemingly turned over a new leaf, albeit it's pretty easy to change your ways when you have no other choice, but the communication we have now seems to be in a more positive light. So. Try to get ready for your son to go to jail. I know there's no getting ready for that, but try to find a different perspective on it. He will no longer be a danger to society or to himself. He will be safe and warm and fed. He will be out of your home and you can have a bit of peace. You'll be in my thoughts! [/QUOTE]
