My oldest child is doing life for murder,its hard for me to deal with the whole situation. I visit my son because I don't know what else to do I visit every weekend and I take his kids as well they are 2 and 3. I love my son very much but what happened to land him in jail for life was senseless! So I am torn between feelings,its been almost 2 years now and I still visit and don't tell him how I feel because it would only make him feel bad. thanks for letting me share

My son is doing 25 to life for murder of his own son. I know in my heart it was an accident and bad jugement. I was right up front with him and told him how I felt. Because I did think he should be in prison but not for murder. I'm always there for him. I only get to visit him once a year because , he is 2000 mi. away. After I told him what I thought, we could talk and corrspone better.

I feel your pain. My daughter will be in prison for a while also because of poor judgment and the actions of those she went with. You are doing a wonderful thing by standing by your son, but I understand your anger. I sometimes feel like I want to tell my daughter how angry I am but I don't want to waste my visits with negative energy. Perhaps you need to write a letter with all your feelings and then burn it and ask God to help you through this. I did this with my feelings for my ex husband and I felt better. It is kind of silly sounding but it helps put feelings somewhere...maybe try it with your feelings about your son. Stay strong and blessings.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
