[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 738340, member: 18516"] I have learned to always be on my guard when my son tells me something about how jail/prison operate. He has lied to me too many times. While your son may be telling you the truth about this, if it were me, I would verify it with the facility he is being held at. Again, I advise caution here. I do hope his being honest about this is genuine but I know first hand how when our difficult adult children feel trapped, they will tell us what we want to hear. This is another manipulation tactic. By telling us what we want to hear, it's easy to let our guard down because we think "hey, he's finally getting it" and when we let our guard down it makes it that much easier to manipulate us. Please be very careful and guard yourself. [/QUOTE]
