[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 766257, member: 18958"] What about writing letters to him? I don't know what to tell you. I worked in prisons for over 30 years in the medical field caring for prisoners.. People are safer in prison than outside. Your son has gotten himself in quite a bit of trouble outside of prison. Now for the question of how long he's in: How is this important? It is what it is. The longer he is there the longer he might be able to have an opportunity to change direction, if he chooses. Silence is a gift, for him, too. Maybe silence will get his attention. I think we as mothers get addicted to our difficult adult children. If this applies to you, why not give yourself a chance to detox, and give your son a chance to grow up? And then, there is the peace. Peace is good. You have no reason to feel guilt. (Have you read the Detachment Article on this site?) Nothing. NOTHING can come from accepting his calls. Nothing good for him. Nothing good for you. That is my firm belief. [/QUOTE]
