I mean isn't that kind of hypocritical (kind of funny as well since she was being ordered around for the past five months). I have no problem with her though as other than this misdeed she has been a good mom to me.

haha. nice try.
she's still your mom so she gets to order you around.

also, is this weird, I have talked to my on the phone while she is there and for some reason I feel more comfortable being open with her about anything now then when she was actually here. Any reason why I would feel that way now?

i agree that she seems more human now. you know now that she knows what it feels like to make mistakes and get caught and have to deal with the consequences. also, sometimes it is easier to say things over the phone than in person.

another weird feeling I have, I just realized now that if my dad was the one in jail I would feel a lot worse. I wonder why though. I like them both equally and neither committed a crime before , hell my dad is probably more strict

maybe it would be more surprising and thus upsetting because he is stricter?
your feelings are all definitely okay. for the most part i'd just treat her the same. at first, it might be a bit tough for her when she gets out so i'd just try to be understanding and tell her how much you love her. i'm glad that overall you have good parents that you love.
