I love this site and dont know where i would be without it!! BUT...I don't hear much directed to the MOMS & DADS.

Although my son just recently went in I find myself thinking of him so much more. I wonder if I could have done something diffrent that would have changed the direction of his life. I wonder of all the times he should have been on this road, why this time when he had done nothing is he now serving time. I watched the changed he made and we talked about the changed he wanted to make. I fear that prison life will kill that part of him that was comming back to life. What effect will this have on my grand children. I don't sleep most nights because I fear for his safety. I know there are other moms and dads that have feelings and questions. Questioning themselves, the system, their ability to keep the faith. I know some of you are tired and want it all to end but it won't.
I would really like to hear from you not only to cry, piss and moan. I also want to hear how you dealt when you got the news. Where you think it went wrong. Do you think the goverment plays a part and what part they play.
Share what you are doing in the community (inside or out) to help. Where you found help. There are a lot of us newbies and some oldies who just have not found our place in this. YOU COULD BE OUR HELP

.

MUCH LOVE TO U ALL!

Thanks for the opportunity to join and to have a place to vent. I have had all of my feelings bottled up for almost 4 yrs now. I am new to this site, just found it 3 days ago. My son is in SVSP, and has been incarcerated for almost 4 yrs. He's looking at 62 yrs to life, and he is 40 years old now. I have so many of the thoughts and feelings that you have and no one to talk to about them. I am going to start going to counseling soon. Don't know if it will help or not. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi I am new as of today, I do not even know how to express my feelings of having my son in prison as of 11-02 and six years at that. how do we get through this, a so called best friend turned him in on something that he had done a year and a half ago but because of his priors and bad choices it caught up with him, he will 25 on november 13th and he is a great son and caring person.
Thanks Deb

Thanks you for the contact. I always hate to hear that another mother or father has had their loveone taken. I also find it difficult to put it all into prespective. Please continue to talk to us and share. As you may well know there are lots of us here. Remember that we care and continue to pray that you stay strong and take care of yourself during these tough times. I know it is easier said than done but you can't help another unless you help your self! I add a personal prayer for each person that I have contact with on this site. You are now added. YOU ARE MOM and DAD CLUB MEMBER # 2 - MUCH LOVE!

Sometimes I feel awkward saying this but here goes "Welcome". I am glad you found us but sorry you had to meet us here. I know how you feel. We were told that My son has got 20 year open end but must do 5 before he can be considered for P.O.

My God I saw a murder walk away with less time!
Oh yeah he was an "Officer of the Law" .

I tell my son to take this time to get his-self together. Go back and remember his dream and let the system show him how to accomplish it when he gets out. This is a very bad situation but I an looking for a Silver lining. Something good must come of it. You are now on my personal Prayer List. MOM AND DAD CLUB MEMBER #3 MUCH LOVE!

This may sound stupid, but how do you join? I have two sons in prison, and always thought I was the only one in the country who had this distinction. The support here is awesome.

Thanks!
I too would think it would be more used. Can you post notice in the mom's and dad's forum?

Every prisoner has a parent.

Iamlynnie · #11 01-07-2006, 08:49 AM

I am a mom of a son that has been in and out of prison since age 19 and is now 37 yrs old,His last time he got 30yrs and has 24 more to go .I think this is a good club to have and I would like to be a part of it .

Icemisstress · #12 01-07-2006, 06:45 PM

I would like to join this club. My son is 18 and just was sentenced to 19 months to 15 years my heart is breaking. I found this site the night he was sentenced and I truly believe the Lord had something to do with that I stayed up until 4 am reading and learning about what to expect.

mswalk1 · #13 01-11-2006, 07:56 AM

I went away for afew days and look what happened. We are getting together. I hope we will get together and share our ups and downs. I am sorry that I have not been on top of this. It just seemed that no one was interested. I am here and want to welcome you all.

My son was on a writ to the county jail. During that time the deleted his phone list. He thought the origional was in effect and did an add on. Well needless to say now he can only call those two people he added. I spoke to his rep. who informed me that he won't be able to update again untill MAY

. I had gotten used to at least hearing his voice. It's hard enough not being able to see him when I want but now they have cut the only means of regular communication. It seems that there is a regular attemp to make things harder than it has to be,not only for the inmate but for the families also!

mswalk1 · #17 01-12-2006, 08:19 AM

My daughter had not been able to see her brother. I am happy to say that she has finally gotten the OK and will be able to visit this weekend. It took 3 months and 3 applications, many call to his rep. (who was no help), and a call to the adm. office to get this fixed. I also can't understand why his nephews can't visit. At 15 and 17 years of age I think that it would be great if they could see the inside insted of having those silly Ideas that they get from friends and videos. I will be trying to find out if there is a way to get around this but for now I am happy that my daughter can see him!
Hope that you all are safe and Ok! MUCH LUV TO U ALL!!!

MicheleCJr · #18 01-20-2006, 01:46 PM

Michigal · #22 01-27-2006, 04:35 PM

Until MsWalk1 checks back in here (I haven't seen her online), I'm going to say we can add the numbers incrementally. That's the way it seems to be done. That would make MicheleCJr number 7, and IlonaCee number 8. Chickletone, that would make you 9 if you're signing up also.
And this way, the thread isn't getting buried.

chickletone · #23 01-28-2006, 10:47 AM

Yes yes yes yes!!!! I am signing up and #9 works for me! It's nice to here from other parents on their thoughts and feelings!Bless you all !
Lil J's mom-loving my son 4-ever!

Make me 10. It will be a short membership as you can see by my timer.

Scooter'sMom · #25 01-28-2006, 11:29 AM

Hello, i am also a new to this thread.My son has been down for a yr now. i can relate so much with all the pain and heart break. i found this site one nite in the wee hrs of the morning. at times i blame myself for my sons path. if i had only delt with my own stuff, then maybe my son wouldnt be in the mess he is in.what i think hurts the most of is the pain i know he feels. his own father wont answer his letter's or except his phone calls. funny this comming from a man who was down twice before. and both time's we were there for him. sent money, wrote letters , visited him even when his g/f wouldnt give us the respect of a single visit alone. ..thank you for a place i can come to vent and cry and support each other.
