I am a single mother of a 20 year old son who has just agreed to a plea deal. He will go for federal sentencing on Feb 23rd. He may get anywhere from 32-54 months in prison and must serve 85%of the sentence. I am heartbroken, numb, and lost. He has been someone that always had to learn things the hard way. On the other hand he was a deeply thoughtful kid too. I failed him in his education as he had ADHD and reading/writing disabilities. He became extremely frustrated with high school and dropped out. Everything went down hill from there. He was involved in a fight and was convicted of assault causing serious bodily injury. I am scared. I don't know where they are going to send him. I don't want him to come out worse than when he went in. I feel like our whole family is going to prison. I can't stop crying as I write this.
