[QUOTE="RobinLaurain, post: 49360, member: 3797"] My heart goes out to you as well. I believe all we can do as parents is take care of ourselves and just make sure they are treated humanely, get what they need in there, and let them know we don't condone the choices they made, but still love them from afar. I was told my daughter wrote to her friend and said, "Tell my mom she still has a daughter." I will not visit her in jail--her first time in I want to send a message, but I will drive her girlfriend to see her and make sure she is treated well. I have to admit, life is less stressful with her in jail. She can take all the air out of a room she is so needy. She also is funny, intelligent, creative, and one of the most compassionate people I know. My son is in prison. It is difficult, but I know he can't be out in society doing the things he was doing. His behaviors wore me to exhaustion and hospitalization several times. I miss him, but am concerned about what life will be like when he comes home. I just try to stay in the moment for I become sick my self if I don't take care of my self. The family is exhausted and burnt-out. I am the only one who supports either one of them. If I lose it, they will have no one. I do not feel all hope is lost. They are still young. Keep strong all of you and if I can ever be of help, let me know. [/QUOTE]
