I’m With You
It just goes on and on and on, doesn't it. My son is 24 now, but he has a lwop sentence in MS. I tell myself he deserves another chance, he has changed and I just know he would not get himself back into prison, IF he had an opportunity to prove it. BUT in the back of my mind I still think, I am not so sure. It is so hard for them once they have ever been in jail and especially prison. The outside world is not forgiving and has no compassion. I pray for you. For all of us.

Have you checked into half-way houses? That's usually a good start for them...especially if they need to have "rules" implemented to keep them on track. It's hard to get out into the free world and just start life without people around that know "the ropes" as far as jobs, a place to live and not to mention going to support groups.

Close Families of Prisoners
Parent of 19 year old son in prison for car theft,had minor charges for stealing beer,marijuana use. Getting out Nov 23 and I need help to handle things.i'm afraid that if I let him move back in then or family will be torn apart by his stealing and lying. Says he's changed but there's no rehab in prison and he doesn't think he has a drug problem so doesn't want to go into a program. Is there houseing for felons - jobs etc? i think he needs to prove that he is ready to turn his life around.
Treatments

- no - can't control another person
- Psychotherapy Considering
- did this before but he refused to go
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- Alanon program helps
- Writing Considering
- might try doing this but really want to put problems out of my mind

I'm the mother of a 19 year old son that started using drugs when he was 16-17, then went to stealing, did time for stealing a beer and possession of marijuana. He is now in prison - will get out in Nov -felony unauthorized use of motor vehicle. I deal with depression, anger and sadness for what this has done to both our lives. Alanon helped me through the difficult times and I need to go back.
Treatments
- Al-Anon Working / Worked
- Nuturing, loving - puts situations in proper prospective - teaches to love self and be the best you can be
- Talking Working / Worked
- It has helped some but I think the more you talk about your problems the harder they become. Taking control of your on life and starting to live it is probably more beneficial. It's easy to feel sorry for ourselves.
