[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 680358, member: 20051"] Well, you can come sit next to me. Not a child but my sister is a heroin addict being sentenced to 5 years next Tuesday. I am raising her kids, though, because she won't get off drugs and stay out of jail. For fun, I will share the quote of the century which pushed me straight over the edge: She was offered the choice of an 18 month inpatient program followed 3.5 years of IOP treatment, with vocational rehab, which would set her up with a job and housing, or a 5 year sentence in state prison. She chose the 5 year sentence because.... "I'm not ready to stop getting high yet." :censored2: So here are some of the interesting things we discussed in "Adult Son in Jail" thread: Our loved ones facing long sentences have already figured out that they will do less than 1/2 their sentence. (and we secretly wish they were doing longer) It is, oddly, a relief that they are getting these sentences. In both Detaching Mother's and my case this is 18 month where we know that they are safe from the dangers of the street, and less likely to be using drugs, and, therefore, overdose. There are, at least, some drug addiction groups in jail, which they will attend to reduce their sentence, maybe something will stick in their heads. [/QUOTE]
