[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 88265, member: 179"] You know...oddly enough, we got the best change from J (as small as it is) when we started to refuse any phone conversations. We sent him prestamped letters (have to do that in prison) and said if it was important for him to have a conversation with us...write a letter. He did write a few, but 'kids' these days HATE to write. It forced him to sit down and actually think about what he was thinking. We eventually stopped paying for the letters as he was working in prison. Yes...he only got about $10/week, but HE had to make the choice of what was a better way of spending his money. He could either buy cigarettes, or he could buy a stamp. No longer our choice. He was SOOOO angry when we cut off the 800 number for the prison system. Well, he got over it.
