:( :( :( I don't know what is better them being locked up where I didn't have to worry or them being home getting wild again. No laws have been broke but I am wonder how long before I get the call ' mom I am in jail ' Either way you are hurting.

MsLynn ~ I am so sorry things are not going well. Sit him down and talk to him. I don't know how out of hand things are getting but whether or not he listens to you I know you will feel better for having made the attempt.

Best of luck to you and yours,
Patty

Thanks we have already had the talk . I told him I will help when he is ready. Things are hard cause I am still taking care of my three grandkids alot. And I have put my health on hold.. Back problems. but hey it is my job. I am his mom.....

Many of us have learned the hard way that for a lot of them it takes more than once through the system before the figure out that they are NOT smarter than the po-lice! It's always hard, and I sympathize most with the Moms because you have no choice about loving them no matter what. Good luck, and do take care of yourself or you won't be able to take care of anyone!

I'm sorry to hear this Ms Lynn.I'm sorry I don't have any great advice for you but We are all here to listen to you if/when you need to vent.

Sorry to hear things aren't going so well. This is my mans second time in prison, so I know the feeling. There's only so much you can do.

I feel the only thing I can do is take care of my grandchildren, and they are my life . Thanks all for letting me vent.

MsLynn-My heart goes out to you because in your case...you don't have a choice when it comes to your child. I can relate to the pain and disappointment when they don't change and in my case...never will. I know the ache and the strange sense of peace that you have when they ARE locked up. At least there there is no possibility of getting that dreaded phone call. God Bless you and I hope that your back pain eases up on you a little. Take care.

Ms Lynn,
I am sorry things arent going well. You stood by him the first time, are taking care of his children (I assume they are his) you cant do anymore.

Keep the faith

MsLynn,
I have been where you are now. And my son is back in prison. How long was your son in? How old is he?
My 21 yr old son gets out Jan 7th. I have seen more of a change in him this time. He even quit smoking cigs on his own which he said was tougher than giving up drugs. But I still have the fears for when he gets out, mainly because it takes so little to get them sent back. I found that out the hard way.
I'm not trying to make you feel worse. I just want to say I am here with the same problems and maybe we can talk.

I'm sorry too that he reverted back to his old ways. Maybe it's just temporary? Like, maybe he's just enjoying his freedoms, and will settle down after a bit? I hope so.

Good luck!!

I am saddened that he continues to make bad decisions. I hope that he "wakes" up before it's too late. You must take care of yourself. I know those grandkids adore you! You can always vent, it helps to get things off your chest!

...I hope he figures it out soon...my guy would tell him that now...being in prison at 46 is not what a man really thinks about when he is young and foolish...but I know your son has to figure it out himself...hugs to you!
