Yes, you will suffer too, but you must look at it as they are paying for their wrong-doing. You did what you were supposed to do. You did ALL you could do as a single mother. Perhaps if their father hadn't been such a jerk, and had manned up and been the father he was supposed to be, they would have turned out better -- but that didn't happen. They didn't have the father they should have had. They had the MOTHER they needed, YES. But sometimes that's not enough, and it's not your fault.
You may have to strengthen yourself if they are sentenced to some time, but at least you will know they are not out getting in trouble and gettiing shot! You'll always know where they are.
My son has been in prison too, and I worried and fretted for awhile -- but then I settled down and realized that he had a roof over his head, and he was learning something. He hasn't been in trouble since he got out 4 years ago. I wish you the very best my friend. God bless you and please take care of YOU. Hugs, Lee

My middle son just got out of prison a month ago. I have never been so happy to see somebody in my life. I was miserable the whole time he was gone. He did get treated for his mental health problems while he was in there so some good came from it. He was paranoid and thought people were out to kill him, so he bought a gun. The felonies he was on probation for were terroristic threats. He had a bad anger issue. I called it his manic rages. My other son has no such excuse. He was where he should not have been. He should have been home with his wife and child. He was drinking and should not have been. He knows to always ask the female how old she is. I have pounded that into their heads since they each turned 16. He deserves to be punished. It is just going to hurt me so bad. My granddaughters will one day come looking for their fathers family and I will be waiting on them, the rest is just history.
