My son is in jail. Again. To visit or not to visit, that is the question...

[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 624968, member: 17635"] Carri, Yes, do what you want to do. Ten years ago, i flew 1500 mi to see my son in jail; he was about 25 at the time. I felt so badly for him and somehow thought my visit would help center him and I truly wanted to lay eyes on him. This was not the first time he was incarcerated. It was the last...though who knows what his future holds. Under those conditions, I think I did the right thing for me at the time. Today, not certain I would make that same amount of effort. Although he is not presently incarcerated, he is the same person. No real changes. Same bad decisions. Today, with the reality, I think I would rather put that energy and $$ toward a trip to Key West. He did not profit from my visits. Please keep posting. [/QUOTE]
