[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 702609, member: 20487"] Well, I have been doing ok up until today. I am leaving tomorrow for a long weekend to Tennessee which I am looking forward to. But my son in prison, who is doing ok, is writing with concerns over being homeless when he gets out and asking about possibilities of going to a local homeless shelter and doing it on home detention. ( I have refused to house him). I have searched the internet just to see how that works and in the process just ended up crying looking at all the homeless people and thinking of how sad it is for them and my son. This will pass but it is a moment of intense grief for me to know his life has gotten to this point. I know I am powerless, but it still makes me so sad to see this happen. On a good note, he says he is attending services at a chapel there, walking and going to the excersize facilities and seems to be now thinking of what next. While waiting to enter the drug program he is being allowed to go out and work hanging siding on homes. He was removed from the general population and placed in a building outside the prison, very low security area of the complex and when he gets to the program he will be in drug rehab all day so cannot work. I know it is possible for him to be ok and he may be ok once out, but the grief of this overwhelms me at times. thanks for listening. [/QUOTE]
