NEW! My son went to Prison today, I'm sad, but glad

you again to every one that in boxed me re. My 1st thread, it was hijacked.. But tht's another

As much as I love my boy, I hate his behaviour....
Rong, violent, drugs w totally different from the rest of us?
But, even tho , everyone have said, they won't visit him etc....
Me as his mum, will never leave him on his own. And because of my stance it is creating tension in the family...

For example some of my other Children think I am out of order?
They truly tell me I am wasting my time with him?
I just can't give up :(

One thing I learned today, is that there is a service called ' Email a prisoner' ..It means I can write to my boy every day. it only costs 30p....

I am sick, that my boy has come to this....
I think it may be about me, but I don't know what I wrong?
He doesn't like me either, and blames me for his failures?
Thanks for listening x

    You brought a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat.

    Good for you, a mothers love knows no bounds

    email costs nothing, some swine is profiteering at the expense of this misery and they should be ashamed of themselves

    I didn't see your first thread but you should not feel ashamed at speaking to your son. Hopefully prison will help lead him on the right path and change whatever person he has become.

    I hope so.... But when I asked him how he felt, about the loss of his freedom, he doesn't care?

    He also said, mum u never cared about me.. I have no idea why he thinks that way,?
    That broke my heart:(

    Hugs, hugs and more hugs for him, he seems toneed reassurance that you do love him.

    Maybe youhavent showed him in the past, you know you love him, he needs to know now, this is the start of you letting him know that you do, so tell him.

    If you truly loved him you'd let go and let him hit rock bottom so he can start to rebuild his life.

    You may be upset about the loss of his freedom but I'm not. I'm glad he's locked up. I only hope that during the time he's rightly excluded from society that you recover from whatever issues you have that are preventing you from stopping acting like a Shameless fishwife!

    I am sorry if I appear to act like that, I am glad that he's locked up too.. He has got problems...
    But I can't leave him on his own...
    Is it wrong, to say, that I will always stand by him?
    Most of the family have already said they can't be bothered with him... But I can't do that...

  • I do truly love him... I just hate his lifestyle and the fact his choices have led him to prison:(
  • Dylano. I am not a fishwife? That may be your impression of me.. But that is so far from the truth... Thanks for your input, some of it was useful x
  • A bit of background, I have 5 kids. We have had a fabulous life... My boy is the youngest, and thinks for some reason he has lost out? I truly don't know why?
