My husband and I sent our daughter off to college and (2 years ago on March 12th) received a call that she was in jail for attempted robbery and murder. The reality of this has still not set in, yet, I am left wondering HOW did I get here. She is now looking at Capital murder in a state where they want to kill her, without a doubt. The thought makes me sick and I am left feeling humanly helpless...Two years of waiting on TRIAL, hearing her voice and randomly seeing her face because she's 12 hours away is difficult. Yet, I am seeking ways to learn how to live through this. I throw myself into my work (for the Police- Ironically) and I commit my life to ministry. I have used my story as a stepping stool for others to move courageously through trials but have found that I also need to take care of me.... I joined this SITE because it is the one thing I can do to help me walk with others who may for ONE SECOND understand the pain I have felt as my baby girl fights for her life.....Shawn

Hi Shawn,
It's heartbreaking to read your story. You and your family are in my prayers.
I hope you can find some comfort here. We have a 'Parents with Daughters' tab on the navigation bar at the top of the website, if you would like to contact other members with incarcerated daughters.
Also, the members usually use the discussion page to post their stories, you'll get more responses using that page.
If you have any questions or concerns send me a private message.
Hugs,
Rhonda
