[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 702482, member: 19617"] Hi Okie, Just to add my support. I think your son is most likely doing alright, and does not need extra money. My son - 37 yrs - was in jail almost 6 months. I never sent him any money at all. He called around 2-3 times a month where I accepted the charge. I never visited him at all. I did write him periodically. But as Jabber said, I believed everything he basically needed was provided for him. He also did not ask me for anything, as I think he knew I would not send it. For the last 3 months, he had a 4 hr/day job, so he may have earned a little extra. Yes, they tug at the heartstrings. My son kept telling me how bad it was and how he had to get out, etc. and asked could I supervise release / and bail would be best, etc. etc. He told me he was surprised I would let him stay there. I told him I had reached a turning point ~ that I was done trying to fix and enable things ~ that it was a new beginning. And that it was a turning point for him too. He did not like it, but it forced him to have to bear the consequences of his choices. Take care, Okie. [/QUOTE]
