As a mother of five children, who are dealing with the loss of their father to the prison system I would like to welcome you all to this forum, a place for the children of incarcerated parents and their caregivers.
It is so very hard to deal with the situations that we are all in. And it is even harder to have to deal with our own feelings plus those of our children. Use this as a place to ask questions, vent, share ways to deal with problems, share your children's reactions in hopes of helping others learn from your experiences and to resolve any problems you may be facing.
The children of inmates are a forgotten group.I encourage you to invite your children to express their feelings here. This site is a safe and loving place.

Sometimes- "It takes a village....." :p
