My daughter is sentenced for at least two-four years of prison. She has a 6 yr.old and a 19 month old. The one whose 6 is having real rough time without his mommy. He cries for her all most every day, he has not seen her for about 2 months. He has talked to her on the phone and he knows she's in jail for taking to many pills. Does anyone know any good resources that might help us help him get throught this. I would really appreciate it.

That's a tuffy, Try to reassure him that you love him and have him write her letters and sent some of his best art work if allowed and when she calls he needs to let her know how he feels. We will be praying for you to have the strengh to cope because i know how hard it is on you.. and yes, the innocent do suffer when a love one goes to prison.

Maybe if possible, you can take the kids to visit. I know not everyone wants to and I struggled with taking my daughter. However, once I took her, her sence of abadonment subsided some. It will be hard for all but try to keep them occupied and a normal routine if possible. I believe sometimes the children feed off of our fear and if you appear to be okay, the child should be better. If those suggestions doesn't work, enlist the help of a counselor who might be able to help further. God bless you, your daughter and the kids.

My heart bleeds for you! The children are so precious and obviously your daughter was and is very close to his mama! The phone calls help alot but I think the visits are a good idea...just my thoughts! My 5 year old grandson talked to my son, the little boy's uncle regularly and they became very close. It made my sons coming home so much better when he knew this was his Uncle Quanna coming in the door.......
I hope that he adjusts better and better! I would like to invite you to the Parents of Prisoners Group also.We do a daily roll call and it helps ones to know they are not alone in the savage journey. As time goes on it does get easier knowing we are not alone in this and can talk to others that have been there or are still there where you are at. Lots of love and prayers! Love Rhea
