[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 552514, member: 9175"] The unknown is always scary Hard as it is, try to remember that you have very little control over how his future unfolds. All you can do is love him and pray that he will find his way. There is some peace in accepting that (and, believe me, I am a work in progress when it comes to that...but the moments when I do allow myself acceptance are becoming more frequent). Keep writing to him. I bet that getting letters is huge for him. I don't know what it is like to be in your situation, but I do know what it is like to feel responsbile for driving, food, shelter, etc. As moms,we are hardwired to help our kids. It's very hard to know when to turn that off and when (and how long) it is necessary to keep helping. Are there resources in your area to help people find jobs? We have a great county facility here and I imagine they have experience in placing people who have felonies. I hope you have something like that in your area for him. Try and take it one day at a time. Dash [/QUOTE]
