A lot has happened since I started this page, yet at the same time it is still brutal wait and see game. So far, my son is still being held in a county jail. He has been held there since June 22, 2016. Almost a year has gone by since I have held my son, being able to even touch him. Thankfully, in the past few months I was able to hire a lawyer. They are getting him mentally evaluated and I have been able to give his lawyer his medical records from his mental hospital stay. In May we have a docket call, that will either set a trial date or we will enter a plea. The lawyer is doing some motions now, hopefully will get updated soon.
I just want this nightmare to be over. I keep asking myself over and over, how did this happen?? It is also coming out that what he has been accused of and what he said he did may have been an exaggeration. It is hard to know what to believe because he has always had an issue with his perception of reality. I always knew my children were the great loves I would have, I just never realized they would be the worst heartbreaks as well.
I am focusing on my youngest son and working a lot. Trying to just figure out how to live this new reality. He will be 17 in May. He doesn't know how to drive, he has never had a job, and he didn't even finish the 9th grade. I pray if they sentence him that it will be a short period, that perhaps there will be probation. I feel like his whole life is gone now.
