Yesterday, my son Josh had court and they revoked his release. They actually continued his actual case for a week but remanded him into custody until the hearing next week. At that time, he will go back to the institution. I know he did this to himself, I also know that its probably better for him right now. But as his mother, this is so hard! I feel like my heart is being torn in two! I cried and cried. He gave me a hug and said dont worry mom, it will be ok. Dont cry! He is only 15 1/2! But for those of you who dont know us, this is his 2nd time in the institution and I couldnt tell you how many times he has gone to Juvenile hall. I dont believe in enabling him but I will always be there to love and support him. I wish Jeffrey was home to help me with all this. I miss them both so much! Things just keep getting worse.

Anyways thanks for listening

I know how bad you feel. I've been there. Try, though, to see this as another opportunity for him to change his life while he still has all his future ahead of him. Your loving and supporting him without enabling him is the best thing you can do. I wish I could give you a hug.

i'm with toi...been through it too my son went to his first institution at 16... a piece dies each time but...as has been said before...there is still hope...he is alive...and even though )(in my case) i thought at times it would be so much easier to greive if he were dead...that is terrible of me i know...but i couldn't help it.....i still have hope for my son...and god help us all....we love the little bas****s...****{hugs}}}}....and the other thing is ....at least they won't take him too far from you...

my thoughts are with you... ((hugs))

Oh honey, my heart hurts for you, My baby boy was in and out of that for a while, heck, that is all he knew, all the men inhis life were in and out of prisons, so it was almost a given between be marked in a small town and well, you know how it goes, just support him there is nothing that will take away the tears and pain of it all until he gets out. I can offer by prayers, they worked for me and my son and now he is clean and sober, complying with all terms and conditions and he has also became a father.
Lovee and Respect to you

It never gets easy to see a child locked up no matter what age . I will be thinking about you , and praying things go your way. (((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))) ))))

Hey kelli, I feel your pain, because I too have a 15 1/2 year old daughter who is starting to become a rebel just like I was when I was her age. That's the part that really scares me. No mom wants their child to go through pain that can be avoided. All we can do is be there for them no matter what, and love, love, love, them. My prayers go out to you and your child. God Bless the both of you.

Kelli, I know your heart is breaking. I felt like I was dying when they escourted my son from court and put him in jail. I think a part of me did die. You know that feeling too. We have to believe that God doesn't allow anything to happen without a reason. Right now we can't see what good prison can do. But we can still show our children we believe in them without enabling them. Bev

I still am having such a hard time with it all it hurts so bad and I miss him so much!!! He is in IMU now. He was doing so good but it was just one thing after another and I think he just snapped. Please continue to pray for our family. I will see him next weekend. I try and make it once a month but he too is now 5 hours away. The ironic thing is he is only about an hour from the institution where Jeffrey is and luckily close to where one of my best friends lives so I have somewhere to go and someone to share it all with. The Lord is still good.
