Its been a long road. Tons of tears and uncertainties.My son will be released soon (supposedly) you all know there is no sense of urgency. I've been looking forward to this day, now that its getting close, I'm scared. My son is now 28. He hasn't lived at home with his "mommy" since he graduated high school and went to college. I really don't know him anymore. I know the scared young man that has been locked up with 2 hour visits 1 a month or a 30 minute phone calls. But who is he now? What has happened to him behind lock doors??? Will he be ok? He's a felon now! How will he find a job? He has to do job search online. HELLO, he doesn't look that great on paper now a days. I pray to God for the strength to get my family through this and hope for my son to have a bright future. If anyone has experience the release of their son, please let me know what's in store for me. I don't know what my boundaries will be. He's not a little boy now. He's a grown man. Any advise will be appreciated. Thank you to all the moms that have reached out to me and for all the stories. It's what kept me sane!

I love hearing that Grace. How cool. I can't wait to do those things with my son. I'm sure he'll appreciate me much more this go around. Maybe even believe I know stuff lol. My son says he can't wait for a bed and pillow and be able to shower without shoes. Just the little things.
I know it;s to early to tell Grace, but is he ok? Sleeping well, adjusting???? Does he have to relearn how to be free????
I sure appreciate all the advise. Crazy how many moms are going through the same thing. ALWAYS helpful MISS! Glad to have you all because I know my family will NOT be supportive. Sad how they washed their hands to my son, their grandson! So sad! We have a ton of work ahead of us and I am up for the challenge with all of you behind us! God bless you all!
WOW great advise Charity! I love the practice part. My family is NOT supportive of this. They are thinking of the old Josh, post prison Josh. We will have to prove to everyone that we can do this, and that Josh won't hurt me again. I'm up for the challenge. I don't want him to be a statistic. I will need to educate myself on the do's and don'ts . I don't wan to hard be to hard on him. Lord knows that's all he's been use to. I will goggle jobs and hopefully get a head start for him. Thank you again! My prayers for you all aw well!
