Tomorrow
Well folks, tomorrow is AS's court date, he is suppose to be sentenced to 2 to 10 years for possession with intent to sell...again...(this will be the 4th prison stay)
I DID write a letter to his lawyer detailing his childhood, and being hyperactive since the age of conception....and his troubles started when his meds stopped...I also voiced my concern over the way the system works. No rehabilitation...and released felons being thrown to the dogs
(made me feel better...
)
He called this a.m. we did not answer the phone, kind of felt somewhat guilty, thought maybe I should have at least spoke with him instead of avoidance, but it's what worked for me at the time.
This prison trip I am NOT sending money, no packages, no envelopes, no metered envelopes...AND not accepting any collect calls.
I will occasionally write back if he can find the means to write.
Hugs to ya all....

Hugs back at ya --
You did a lot by writing all that for him. But I'm glad that you did what you felt was right for you, even though it was not the easiest thing to do.
If this were me, I think I'd have a hard time sleeping tonight, so I'm sending you wishes for a good nights rest -- and the best for tomorrow.

So sorry your boy's journey leads him back to prison.
It seems like his repeat visits have led you to have firm detachment.
My son relapsed this weekend, luckily for him the rehab is not kicking him
out even tho they did so with the resident who relapsed with him.
It takes what it takes. Your son pays a high price for his drug life.
Let's hope he ages out after this prison trip. Sometimes it seems they know how
to do prison but don't know how to do life.

Big hugs and prayers for you, Mr. Moose and your son.
Does the Ohio prison system not have a rehab program? AH is in his 4th month of a new prison rehab program(his first rehab ever). He sounds so greatful and it seems to be working-time will tell. This is his 4th time in prison because of drugs.
Hoping this time your son will find his way.

One problem is my son ends up being sentenced in Cleveland Ohio.
My youngest son had a problem a few years ago, (his first offense) IN AKRON, OHIO and did 3 months prison time, then was released on a early judicial thing, and went directly to 6 month locked up rehab.
Seems to have helped, he's sober for today, and TRYING very hard to set goals for himself and live a clean life. He is struggling, because no one will give a felon a chance at work, so for him to find a nice paying job, is slim. Yet he remains with a positive attitude.
I'm not truly educated on the total rehab system in Cleveland, but it seems that if my son was seeking sobriety, and a clean life, HE would request information on options, QUICKLY, before his release.
This is just a discussion for me, I don't feel my son is ready for rehab, may never be, unfortunately.
My son is kind of swirling at the drain, over and over. And that's okay.
Also, the reason I am so determined to remain detached this time is because I have enabled him with all three previous prison terms, by feeling "sorry" for him, and being a mom....big mistake on my part.
Not this time.

Hello Moose, My heart is with you and Mr.Moose at this time. It's such a hard road to travel when detaching (which is necessary)) for some of us. Be good to yourself today and tomorrow and know your son is in good hands. Hugs, Bonnie

I can't begin to imagine, as a mom, the pain you must go through when you see your children self-destructing. I'm sorry you have been down this road before but it sounds like you are doing what's best for you and your husband, and ultimately your son. I hope you find the peace you deserve.
Prayers for your whole family and especially for your son who wants sobriety and a new start.
