Hi Shirley;

As a Mother of an accused SO, I throughly understand. My Son is sitting
in jail still, has not gone to court yet, and in Sept. it will be 2
years. His marriage has ended, his two girls still love him. He did the
offense, it was a psychological error on his part, and I hate even
hearing about SO's, but I have to keep his spirit's up and let him know
I know he is sorry and will never do it again. I am happy he is paying
for it, but not such a long time, and he should be working. He should
not have to pay so dearly, he did'nt kill ...and it was the result of
the two girls(his) constantly sexually active since 11, and flaunting it
in his face, when his wife did'nt like sex, he was in need. But he
wanted to be responsible in the marriage and take responsibility for his
girls until they were of age, then he was going to leave. I know there
are excuses for everything, but I know what you're going through, I have
absolutely no money to help him either. The so called Lawyer he has
he's never seen in person, she ignores him and just lets him ROT!! He's
not gone to court yet!!

Peace be in your heart, try not to let this eat you up..I'm trying
also..

A Mom...
