[QUOTE="ctmom05, post: 295743, member: 2901"] You ladies are so kind; to rally around someone you don't really know. I am deeply appreciative. [b]Dammit Janet[/b] my son will remain in jail. Releasing him would be a safety issue, and too big of a responsibility for [i]anyone[/i] to deal with. This is the second time he has been incarcerated. He has a clinical history(therapy, hospitalizations, medications etc) that dates back to first grade and police involvement since his early teen years. From 18-21 my son was in a Young Adult Services program(mental health) and was discharged due to lack of cooperation and buy-in. [b]DDD[/b] you said, "The system" will look at you as a conspirator, an incompetent or an object for pity." I am not having that experience. On the night of the actual arrest the police arrived with a search warrant that was very specific and they found exactly what they were looking for. My husband and I were treated respectfully throughout the 3 hours that our home was occupied by a dozen or so officers. The neighboring community is talking about the arrest amongst themselves. They may be [i] thinking[/i] things about us, and I see various types of messages going up on newspaper messages boards related to the articles about the crime, but noone has made me feel small.....yet. In fact, my across the street neighbor stopped by to say that this doesn't change anything between us as neighbors. She may stand alone in her feelings, I don't know, but if my son's act changes anything for folks with regards to my husband or I, it wasn't a worthwhile relationship to begin with. This is very difficult to take in, but I believe my son is where he needs to be. [/QUOTE]
