so sad
my brother self surrendered march2,2012 to begin a 27 month sentence in federal prison. it is a mortgage related charge. his record is clean until this, not so much as a speeding ticket. he is 33 and made a mistake because of the people he was working with. he has always supported me through tough times and it is so hard to know where he is. i am a recovering addict thanks to him supporting me. i probably wouldn't be here without his support. It is still unreal that he is in prison. i don't know how people continue just going about there life when a family member is in the prison system. i obsess about an early release all the time, knowing it is unlikely in the federal system. i just need some hints on how to go on with my life until his release. i am so sad, lost and confused. any pointers on how to get through this is appreciated:)

You will get thru it.... just because u are not alone in this.kind of situations. My fiance got 5 yrs before elgible for parole we are in different states. he been almost 2 yrs will be in june. it\'s not easy... just kee yourself busy and join support groups here, and on facebook as well. He is recovering addict and he relapsed and did stupid and violated his probation. So, I .know how hard it must be for you. I am here if u ever need to talk and i am also on facebook. Larisa
wow, that is so sad. I had a bad drug problem for yrs. is he in state or federal? do you ever feel guilty for doing something fun or eating something really good knowing where he is and what he is going through? i do. just wondering if i am the only one. i will look for you on facebook and maybe you can show me some support groups on there. thank you so much.
