Families of Prisoners Support Group
This community is dedicated to families that have been disrupted by prison. Having a loved one incarcerated or having been incarcerated comes with its own unique challenges that require support and understanding. Join the group to find others who know what you're going through, and to seek advice or share your experience.
All new ones here we have another group that is a spinoff from this group.
Parents of Prisoners Group
A group that tries to share with each other how they deal with being a good supporting parent of a prisoner and the unique problems that arise.
What to share or not, how to deal with spouse of prisoner, ex-spouse of, children of prisoner which we may not see either anymore,so forth.
The idea behind this group was for me to be able to find other parents such as myself to talk to on specific topics dealing with being a parent in this situation and to find them easily. When I first came here I WAS VERY UPSET AS A PARENT WITH NOT ONLY ALL THAT HAD TAKEN PLACE, BUT THAT SOME HAVE HAVE BEEN DUE TO WAYS, I MAY HAVE TAUGHT HIM.
So all new ones if your child is in jail/prison

My son is in federal prison on. Drug charge. It's soooo hard
This is a pretty old post now and the OP is no longer on hear by the lools of it.
What I feel is as I said is a lot of anger, a lot. I am upset that my son who is highly educated, has 2 wonderful sons would throw it all away for a craving. Not only that but ruin or damage other children's lives. How in the world would he feel if someone did that to his children or a family member? also I am so very mournful that I will never have the family relationship with him again. I will not be visiting him in his home, going on vacation or just doing fun family things with him again. He will never be able to attend various gathering for his children, attend weddings or hold his grandchildren again. The family will never get talk to him or seem unless it is from behind bars. I still get very teary and upset because of all these reasons. On top of that I have not shared this with some family and friends that do not live close, I just do not know what to say or how to explain it!! I still have a sense of guilt because I was a single mom and feel like I failed even though heh is 49yrs old. I know I know they grow up and choose their own roads. I still am so horribly remorseful!!
By the way you haven't and are not failure! Your son choose to do what he did not you. But hey once a mum always a mum.
