Sorrow, putting it out there

Tweet

I have alluded to the fact that my son is in jail. He did something wrong, but not violent. It is possible he will go to prison for the rest of his life as he had a conviction ten years ago. I have more grief now than when his dad died. In the last few years, his marriage has kept him from visiting, and being a helper. It was breaking up and he moved here for a couple of weeks. That was such a blessing. I have likely not seen him more than ten times in the last seven years, even when we lived nearby. It was not allowed. Just giving some reference here--the person who I was "helping move" is to be my former daughter-in-law. She is not a mentally healthy and fit person and she becomes estranged from her own family and calls and texts me a lot. She thinks I need to do a lot of the removal of my son's stuff. I think her mom is going to be involved now. He tended to hoard, and so does she. She demanded to have his cat back. Now all three cats are living outdoors, and not being fed. They will not come to us, or I would rescue them. She would not give me access to his things three months ago, when it was nice. Now we are in bad weather and she needs the house cleared fast. So that you know I am not doing this all alone, my brother and my daughter are both going to come and help me next weekend. I have felt trapped as I do not always have well working cars. I drive an hour to move the stuff. I may not be here much for a while.I do not have much to talk about that I can share.I may just read and respond. I do appreciate your prayers, kind thoughts, etc. I do not know what else to say.
