[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 645374, member: 18516"] The first couple of times our difficult child was in jail we would put money on his account so he could have extras and we would visit. He would also call collect. I think it was third or fourth time he was locked up that I told him the only way I would communicate with him was via old fashioned letters. The collect phone calls are very expensive and I was paying for him to call and berate me telling me how it was all my fault he was in jail, I'd hang up, he'd call back, I'd accept the charges, he'd apologize. As for putting money on his account, he would tell me "I'm going to starve to death, they don't feed us enough" the guilt worked the first couple of times then I told him you must like jail because you keep doing things to go back, so no I will no longer put money on your account. For me and husband in the end, communication via letters was the only way we were able to maintain peace. [/QUOTE]
