It has been a few months since I have posted on here. My son lost his visits back in April due to some sort of drug contraband that he was involved with. He was able to stay violation free for 90 days so he got his visitation rights back. It has been 2 years and 3 months since he was incarcerated seems like forever ago. I finally had to put some distance between myself and his grandparents whom have been sending him money in less than legal ways. I love my son but I won't love him to death. I know that a life sentence is a hard pill to swallow but he can get parole after 25 years. May seem like forever but why not try to make the best of a hard situation. He can give up and use drugs or he can keep himself healthy and live. I know it's hard to get clean I am alive because I chose recovery. I don't know what is in the cards for my son maybe the appeal will go through maybe the strictest law ever imo will change. I can only pray and support my son and I always will be here for him. I pray for all of you who are facing the pain of a son or daughter incarcerated. Janet C.

also pray for your son's grandparents that they may find the courage to detach with love from your son...Lori
Thankyou Mary and Nedra. Since I put distance between my ex in laws I don't seem to worry as much not knowing how much money my son is getting and for what crazy reason this time has helped me. I don't know how to explain to them anymore that they are enabling him to continue getting high. They have sent him 1000's of dollars in a very short period of time. Then wonder why he doesn't call or if he gets wrote up for something it's always somebody else fault. I have spent 40 years dealing with their enabling and I won't do it anymore. I pray for them.
I will also pray for you and your son.
Be Blessed,
