[QUOTE="Carri, post: 702410, member: 17790"] Hi Kalet. My son is also in jail right now and I haven't been to see him. This time. My boy is 32, heroin addict, living on the streets. He's been in countless rehabs, sober homes, jails and even prison for a year. It's exhausting, isn't it? The last time he was in jail I visited him every weekend, even put a little money on his books. I know better than that, but hey. I'm human and I'm a mother. When he was released, I picked him up to drive him to a rehab, that he had applied for while in jail and he said he changed his mind. He wasn't going. He opted to get out of the car and go back to the streets. Of course I was devastated. Before he got out of the car I hugged him, told him how much I loved him and told him that I was done visiting him in jail. That I wouldn't come the next time. He said he understood. I haven't put any money on his books either. He's called a few times to say he loves me. I know he does, but I also know he's manipulative and hoping that a touching phone call will prompt me to visit or give $. I absolutely love when he's in jail. I actually think he likes it too and I really love knowing where he is. Enjoy the time your son is in jail. He's getting fed and has a warm bed. Maybe, just maybe something will be different one day. We need to turn it over. It's out of our control. Carri [/QUOTE]
