As a devoted mother having to accept the fact that my son was going to prison was soul destroying.
Nothing changed my love for him, but the fear and worry for him was all consuming.
Visiting him helped a lot, and I gradually noted real positive changes to his attitude toward life.
His rock bottom was being sent to prison, and he’s learnt so much since he’s been incarcerated.
He has formed a strong bond with a priest who runs a Narcotics Anonymous group, and I have this priest to thank for my son’s positive attitude and for not playing the victim but taking responsibility for his crime.
I had to learn to take care of myself because I’m no use to anyone if I’m running on empty.
I’m so grateful to those who have helped my son during his prison sentence.
