About Us

It has been one week that my son has been incarcerated. I saw him yesterday and he is down to 140 lbs. He is 6'3". He wont eat the food and he has food allergies. I begged him to eat the fruit and veggies. It's like he is starving himself to death. He said the food has maggots. Has anyone else had sons with mental illness and got power of attorney? My son is dual diagnosed with depression, PTSD and addiction. He has been self medicating. I brought all of his meds to show the nurse. I got the idea on here from another mother who wrote me. He told me he would grant it to me. How do I get the paper work to him? I did not get any calls back from NARA, we are Native American, or NAMI, National alliance of Mental Illness. Is there any other resources out there? I am an art teacher and not very smart about legal issues. My plan is to be able to advocate for him because he has no voice in there. In many ways, he has no voice because of his illness. Does anyone know if there are any books out there to help families dealing with these issues? Thank you for all of your support.
