A confession of sorts :-(

Well, after all the talk about not sending my AS any money in jail, I sent the kid $30 yesterday in the mail. They will take out $16 for booking fees leaving $14 for him to buy (hopefully) boxers, a tshirt and maybe socks. All they give you when you get there is a coverall, no underclothes whatsoever. I felt that by doing this, I would be able to better relax on my vacation - why is that?

I know that he won't be using the money for drugs, and as far as that stopping him from hitting his bottom (enabling), well...he's going to prison for sure so I don't feel it's a real issue. I am going to do my best not to give him any more, once he has some boxers and a tshirt, he can do without snacks and whatever else, they do give them "sample sizes" of deodorant, shampoo and stuff, that I don't really care about. No matter what he uses the $14 for, I can, in my mind, know that he at least has underclothes...

Just had to get that off my chest, for some reason I feel guilty about it :-(
