[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 736916, member: 15801"] Having a kid in jail is a weird thing. The first time my son was in jail he was 19 and I really felt like it was the worst thing that could happen to a parent. I was a wreck. I was scared for him...he was a good looking boy and you hear such horror stories. Later in this crazy journey he was on the streets and homeless.... and that was so much worse. The next time he was in jail it was like wow I can sleep at night, I know where he is, he is relatively safe and he is eating. And I also learned that although he never obeys rules (one of his issues) he learned the rules of the other inmates and followed them, stayed to himself and did not have any major problems. He learned how to survive.....has been in jail since and served a couple of months. He hates it, is bored and does not want to go back but him being in jail is by far not the worst thing for me. Hei s doing ok at the moment and I certainly prefer him doing better....but time and his own self will tell if he fully gets his act together and really becomes a productive member of society.
