I have a son, an only child, who is about to be released from prison and I am desperately seeking information about what kind of help is available to him as he tries to rebuild his life. I don't know where to start in helping him find resources for what I am sure will be a very challenging journey for him. I'm just looking for help - for myself as well as for him.
I have spent a lifetime trying to please and take care of everyone around me. I have a caregiver's nature, but I have mostly done it in unhealthy ways. I finally decided to go back to school and got my R.N. degree so I could at least get paid for it! :o) In the process I found some confidence and a better sense of who I am, but I still have a lot to work on. I have an elderly mother and a son in prison that I am very close to so those relationships are what I'm focusing on.
