My friend is at Norton.

MLamars · #4 09-22-2005, 07:54 PM

My youngest son is at Norton I miss him terribly. Mom

tc317 · #5 09-23-2005, 10:01 AM

I can tell how much you miss your son. I hope he's home soon. You're one strong lady to be going through so much pain yourself and still be able to support everyone else here.
My friend doesn't want anyone to visit but he writes LOTS of letters so I feel like we're closer now than ever before! He's so cute!

wiloak · #6 01-11-2010, 12:56 PM

I can relate to how much you miss your so. I,to, have a son in norton, and i am counting the days till he comes home. I am hoping also when they do the budget cuts, maybe some will get out early. We can only pray and god does answers prayers. My son will be out this year. Hope your son doesnt have to much time to go also god bless

I would venture to say that if your friend ever had a visit he would feel better about it. It gives them new promise of hope. I talk to my son on a daily basis and I write to him almost everyday. I am so far away that I can only visit about 1 sometimes 2 times a month. But it is what I look forward to. My husband is very supportive even though it is not his biological son. He loves him alot. He will be there for almost 5 years and that in my books is way to long. All a person can do is to give the most positive reinforcement of life outside of prison. To give them your blessing each and everyday. And most important to let them know they are important and you love them alot. Good luck to you and thanks for the kind words. Mom

My boyfriend doesn't want me to visit. Is that strange?

tc317 · #9 11-14-2005, 08:05 AM

I don't think it's strange. Has he been there very long? Sometimes I think they are embarrassed about being there. My friend hasn't had any visits since he got there, a year now. He says it's too far for anyone to travel and too much to ask. Maybe your boyfriend feels the same way? Or maybe the adjustment is just hard for him. You'll drive yourself crazy worrying about why. Try to send him news and lots of love in your letters. Communication is more important when you can't see him every day. Have you asked him about it? In a loving way, of course!

Jeremys Girl · #10 11-14-2005, 09:02 AM

I don't know. I just feel like he's shutting me out, ya know? I send him lotsa letters, almost everyday, but it's hard to keep writing when you don't get any feedback.

Jeremys Girl · #11 11-30-2005, 10:34 AM

He's been there a while and I haven't seen him since he was in county in 03. I'm ready to visit him, but if he's not, then whatever, I guess. I heard from a friend of his that he has other visitors, so why not me? That's messed up. Anybody here a frequent visitor? I need a fly on the wall.

Heart4KCizzle · #12 03-28-2006, 05:39 PM

Hey! Do you still have loved one's at Norton? I'm looking for someone to talk to about the happenings there. My honey was transferred there. Anyone available? I could really use your expertise. Mom?

Atalie · #13 09-23-2005, 09:22 PM

My brother is not at Norton, hes at Leavenworth USP, but I love to hear from people who are in Kansas, it makes me feel more connected to him.

tc317 · #14 09-26-2005, 02:07 PM

That's a good point Mom, I'll run it past him. Of course, I couldn't visit until after football season now!

Rockz_wifey · #15 10-03-2005, 12:46 PM

My Hubby is there, and yes the family does the time with the inmate there is no way around it.

tc317 · #20 10-13-2005, 10:55 AM

My friend was just moved to Minimum. I saw it on the KDOC website and should have a letter from him today or tomorrow with more details. I'm hoping to visit him in November. I have 2 kids so it's kinda hard to get a weekend to go see him. I haven't seen him in 10 years, now I'm trying to lose 10 lbs!! Like he even cares about that!

Tulip · #21 11-14-2005, 10:26 AM

If he's making you feel shut out I would let him know how you feel. And that you would like to visit him. It is something that at least needs to be talked about.
Good luck.

MLamars · #22 11-14-2005, 12:12 PM

my son is there and he felt ,at first that he didn't want to see anyone . Of course that changed. My son told me that alot of the guys think that time goes faster when you don't see anyone. I do know that all of the guys think that mail time is the most important part of the day. I try to send a letter every day of the week. Even if it just a card. Just keep writing even if he doesn't write back eventually he will come around. Maybe he thinks you need to get on with your life. It that is the case maybe you should express to him that he is worth waiting for. Good luck Mom

MLamars · #23 04-01-2006, 02:51 PM

Hello there my son is still at Norton and all is well sorry to here that you are possibly having problems. I am still here just been alwful busy. I will see what I can do to help though . Mom

SafeHaven · #24 07-22-2006, 09:58 PM

My husband was in Norton but now in Stockton. Was the pastor in Nortons minnimum unit he is now in a honor camp I very proud of him. I can't wait for him to be home. I am always looking to meet new people that have loved ones at NCF or SCF get back to me.

MrsBus · #25 07-28-2006, 08:50 PM

Jeremy's he may be a little depressed and think you deserve better. Sometimes they do push you away because of the shame they are feeling. It may be painful for him to have you see him where he is at. Sometimes it is hard to tell what they are thinking. One of the worst thinking patterns is going from "I made a mistake" to "I am a mistake". That is not healthy, reinforces shame-based thinking and is very destructive.
