[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 743402, member: 23349"] Toomanytears, sending big hugs. I am glad he made it home on the flight and has accepted the plea deal. It sounds like he is accepting responsibility and facing his future as well as could be expected. This has to be a very hard thing for him. I hope that everything goes smoothly over the next few weeks. N did a program like this, and it was really good for him. We also were able to have real visits, see each other face to face and hug each other instead of through glass. I treasured that time. That’s when he made plans for his future. I know prisons are more focused on punishment than rehab, but I do believe that there are opportunities for growth and redemption in unlikely places for people who are open to them and look for them. I don’t know anything about the prison your son will go to, but where my son was there was some educational and spiritual programming available. And some were able to take correspondence courses. And there was a library, and I was allowed to send books and letters. I poured my heart out in each letter I sent with a book. N came out a changed man, less angry and more humble, more open to looking for ways to atone and move forward. I pray for the same for your son. [/QUOTE]
