Huge hug of comfort and support... I am so sorry that your son is now in prison

I have been around prison a lot due to being an advocate for wrongful conviction... and once a person is settled in they really can make some good choices .. better choices

What I have found is prison is a world unto itself and there are actually a lot of opportunities for people once they become used to being there

There are usually several educational opportunities as well as crafts such as woodwork or leather work.... etc

He can turn his life around in prison

Gentle hug... I know this must be really painful......Your son's life has changed as has yours but please know that it isn't over.... Deep breaths and baby steps.... xo

When I was 15 my best friend's mom went away for 25 years. It was tough. His dad was gone and he was an only child, so that was it for him as far as family went. Our school friends all turned their backs on him, but I decided to make him part of my family instead. I went to visit her with him in prison. Man, that was always a rough visit weekly.

Now I'm 63, and she's served her 25 and is out now. He's married with kids and doing well, so things turned out ok. It's a long road, but I hope the same for you. Sending you support, Rhony.

hello rhony. welcome to ds.

ouchus maximus. i can see where that would be a tough nut to chew. getting those mixed emotions into words can help with the sorting.

listening. . .

p.s.
i forgive you for getting that blasted nursery rhyme caught in my head.
"when will you pay me
"say the bells of old bailey."

Support to you, Rhony.

British law can be very rough and very strict. I have a home in England, Brighton England. They call it London by the sea. I am so very sorry your son got into what every trouble that put him in prison. It is not the end of the world. It is to soon for you to know what is all going in. 29 years is not life. On good behavior he may only server a quarter of the time. Right now i feel you don't know what is up,down,left, or right. Take one step at a time and breath. Your son is counting on you to not give up. I never gave up on my parent's, don't give up on your son.

Mega Hugs. Scott
