I haven't visited for a while so it's time to catch up. My son, Bryan now has 25 months left to serve. He was arrested on June 5, 2014 and placed under house arrest for the following year. He was placed in Lexington Medical Federal Facility on June 23, 2015.
Since he was incarcerated, his grandfather (my father) has passed away and of course, Bryan is heartsick that he will never see his Charlie again. His cat, The Dude, has also died, Several close family members and friends have also passed away. There is just telling how this feels for Bryan. His guilt and shame eat him alive every day.
I know that when he is released he, like any other former inmate, will need care for post-traumatic syndrome. I doubt that his dad and I will be enough to get him through this. I will be searching locally for mental health care soon as it takes a long time to familiarize ourselves with that community. If any of you have been through this, I would love to hear from.
Your children are always in my thoughts and prayers. I hope my son is in yours.
