[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 617005, member: 15796"] My daughter was homeless for three years, then got pregnant by an abusive drug dealer (now in prison for a good long time) and went to jail. She remained in jail for her whole pregnancy. She then delivered in the hospital, spent two glorious days falling in love with her baby, and was then taken back to jail in shackles while the baby went home with me. She spent a week away from her baby and it was devastating. She tried calling daily but I put the funds on the wrong phone account so she couldn't reach me. Her mind was thinking I took off with her baby. :( A guard let her call me directly from a phone and her knees buckled when I answered. From that moment on she swore she was done with drugs and she meant it. I knew she meant it. I don't know [I]how[/I], as I had heard it several times before, but I knew she was serious. Life has been unbelievable since. I have an absolute JOY of a grandson that I get to enjoy daily and I get to have that mother/daughter relationship that I wanted so badly. BUT, it took a very devastating event for change. She is convinced if she had not gone to jail or had Connor, she would be exactly where she was...she is the first to say that besides her son, jail was the best thing that could have happened to her. She was in from April to September and she never, ever wants to go back again! [/QUOTE]
