I was just wondering because I have told my family that I write to a DR inmate to give him some companionship and caring and they flew off the handle and told me I was daft and wrong in the head for doing such a thing that they are there to be punished and it is no use to write to them that they are scum of the earth and deserve to die I never knew how pro death they were and it hurt me terrible after I left I came home and just cried then my youngest sister came over and told me that she was ok with my decision that everyone deserved a second chance and that no one deserved to die for another but not to tell the others what she had said but she also told me that they want me to be checked out by a shrink and maybe have me committed if they can because I am not the girl they thought I was and I have to be crazy well I know they cant have me committed I am sane just terribly hurt by my familys response and my sister hiding the fact she is behind me please how did your familys take it when you told them. beag dilis

I have only told my sister I was writting a man in prison, which did shock her. It shocked her even more to know that I went to visit him. Although being shocked she still supported me. I havent told my mother, due to the fact that she would fly off the handle!!! Although your family may not have supported you when you told them, you will find plenty of support here on PTO!!! I personally support your efforts to write a DR inmate. It takes a special kind of person to write an inmate on DR. Good Luck
