My heart continues to ache, and I struggle some days with this new normalcy of having my sweet son facing sexual assault charges. He will have arraignment on December 8th. He may be 18, but is not anywhere near that age mentally- more like a 12-13 year boy. I am trying to figure out how to cope with the painful thoughts of him not being home for the holidays. Any suggestions? My husband and I pray for him daily, and pray for his safety. Our biggest concern is he will be in extreme risk of being a victim himself should he be sentenced to DOC. He needs mental health help, more than incarceration.please pray for my son. He really is a kind spirit, and has not a clue of what is to come.
Ben has adhd, and learning disability. We have all supporting documents to his attorney. Today, was a blessing in that my husband and I met with the school(this was suppose to be Ben' s senior year of high school) for his tri annual IEP meeting. The jailer, who is a lieutenant, knows Ben from 8th grade. Lieutenant H is trying to make the jail a better place overall and he was able to bring Ben to this meeting. We got to physically see, touch, offer hugs, kiss his face, hold hands for almost an hour. A blessings that we had this gift, but the pain I have right now is overwhelming me. I will cherish the time we had for many days and nights ahead.
