How do I answer this question?

How do I answer "Why is he in prison?" to my 9 year old gs. My grandson is very intelligent, inquisitive, and hit me out of the blue last night with this question. (Please don't give me advice saying have him talk to his parents, that doesn't apply in our family, no need for details on that).

Big hug broken ,,,I agree to be vague about any details and just say that he did something wrong that he has had to accept some consequences for

That it is one of the adult matters and that when your grandson is an adult he'll be able to talk with his dad about it

I would reiterate how much he is valued and loved by all of the family and that you're there for him.... xo

    Which explains the mysterious fevers and my extra fatigue. I'm so glad I pushed for answers.

    Due to my increased paranoia, anxiety, and a panic attack over the weekend, my psychiatrist has put me back in a full dose of Zyprexa until further notice. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and it's back to square one. I knew he was gonna do this but I can't help feeling disappointed. It is what it is.
