This is my first attempt to find some relief thru other people who have gone what I am going thru now. My son is is currently in jail and will be sentenced next week to either 7 , 10, or12 years. I am so afraid that I can't sleep, can't function without going to pieces on a daily bases. I did go to my Doctor and am currently taking Lorazpam. It helps but I really need to talk to someone in the same postion. My husband trys to be understanding but he jus thinks I should be able change my thinking. I can't! He is all I think about. he is a good person really but took a wrong turn and went down a dark path. I worry so much and cry all the time. I don't like what I'm doing becasue I know it is affecting my health and I really want to be strong and healthy for him when he gets out.
I wonder if this will get any better , I can't see that it will, until he is home with us again.

We are here for you. I think we all have to fight not letting the darkness of the situation overtake us. I struggle with my situation because I thought I was a strong person and this has shaken my entire foundation. I am determined to come out of this stronger for my son and my other kids. My prayers are with you.

I am so thankful for this site and the many people who have responded. I heard from my son last night and he sounded pretty good. So, of course, today is a good day for me. Thanks to all of you for writing, I appreciate it so much. Of course this is just the beginning of a long jounery for us. I miss and love him so much as you all do your loved ones.
Thanks again.

Suzie, my son is also in jail awaiting trial or plea bargaining. The system is so frustrating and the waiting is torture. Under the new law (Megan's Law in my state,which seems to catagorize all sex offenses into one, my son may serve a life sentence. It's a ridiculous law! I know how you're feeling. I cry often and try to be strong.Today is a hard day for me because I feel so helpless. My son is a good person and my heart aches for his future.
