[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 657816, member: 17269"] Hi Weary, I'm with you. My son is in jail too, has been since March. He seems oddly OK there...we talk for his alloted 5 minutes every day. I send him the occasional book. He is in some sort of 12 step program there called Wings...they encourage insight and contemplation, and he says stuff like "when I get mad about being here, I think, well, what else was going to happen? everything I've done for the last four years has lead me here.". This has more of a ring of authenticity to it than ever before..which does not, of course, mean anything will be any different when he gets out, it just means he is easier to talk with now. My days pass easily. I sleep well. I'm happy. It will all work out as it should. I did all I could possibly have done to protect him and to protect my other kids from him...and now we are where we are. It sounds like you are in a similar place. I'm sure it seems very strange to most parents...but....we are OK! Better than OK, because we know what "very very not OK" looks like too. Holding hands hugs and smiles with you today. Echo [/QUOTE]
