[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 655410, member: 17635"] Sherril, I am thinking about you this evening and so very sorry you are experiencing this. Yes, seeing your child taken away in handcuffs is totally heart wrenching. The police officers in our town were having trouble finding our difficult child. (This was over ten years ago). I called them one day when he was here. They appeared within minutes. My son tried to run, but they caught him. On went the handcuffs. Although, I knew I did the right thing by calling (son had stalked and harassed an ex to no end, stolen her mail, lots of stuff),still, it broke my heart. One of the officers called later to tell me our son had cried all the way to jail. Did he stop those obsessive, intrusive, stalking ways? No, not for years. I remember an officer at a jail in another state (where son was incarcerated for same crimes against another female), telling me, [I]They usually end up back. They say they will change, but they do not. It is just a band aid[/I].. And, I remember replying, [I]Not my son. I KNOW he has learned his lesson this time. [/I] Guess who was correct. (Not I). Stay close to the board. Again, I feel for you and your son. It is tough. My son has not been incarcerated for many, many years. He is not a nice person to his dad and me, but hopefully, he is at least learning to live according to what will put him in jail and how he can stay free. Not close to what we pray for him, but it is a start. SS [/QUOTE]
