[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 676121, member: 15801"] Hi Tymica, I feel for you. That letter could easily have been written by my son at different times. It certainly pulls at the heart strings.... And he probably knows that. At the same time he probably also means what he writes, he loves you and he is telling you that. He probably does regret a lot of things he has done, most addicts do. He is more clear headed now and so is thinking more clearly. None of this means he would follow through if he was not in jail but you never know either. Cherish this letter for the love he expresses. So my take may be different than others. And I haven't followed all the other threads so I may be missing some info....but I am wondering if you want to stick to your resolve not to visit him in jail? If you need to do that for you and your own sanity I totally support you in that. Your number one priority has to be to take care of yourself. However if it is for some other reason or somehow it feels like enabling to visit him then I don't see it that way. Being in jail I is really really hard.... And I think finding ways to connect and let them know we love them is only positive...and certainly visits are one way to show you care. I know when my son was in jail I visited him..... And although I found it hard and stressful I would do it again. TL [/QUOTE]
