[QUOTE="OTE, post: 738482"] Thanks for the upbeat post! Wish mine was as far in his process as yours is. Obviously a long way to go but step one is still a step! Mine hasn't even got that far. With all the jails, prisons, programs mine's been in... There is no such thing as treatment in prison that I've ever heard of. At best a voluntary 12 step program which rarely has an opening. Keep in mind that the incidence of mentally ill in prison is so astronomical that any psychological or psychiatric service is overwhelmed with severe cases. They don't have staff to do group therapy much less individual. Mind you, the mentality of inmates does not encourage therapy. It's not a supportive environment! As my son reminds me constantly, you spend all your time watching your back to avoid getting attacked, stabbed, etc. There is no time for cozy chats about feelings and childhoods. [/QUOTE]
