Possible Three Strikes!
DS' dad may be facing three strikes. He sent a letter and it was different than all the rest. I could hear the angst in his writing and the utter sorrow he has for his continued stupidity. He is scared and rightfully so. We live in a three strikes state. A state that has sent men away for 25 years to life for minor 3rd strike infractions if you will.
What DS' dad was doing is unclear. What I do know is he was loaded, ran from the cops, there may have been a hit and run of a parked car, possible indescent exposure and evasion...that is his felony because he has a prior.
The three strikes committee is reviewing this now and he returns to court on 5/7 to find out his fate.
I put $50 on my phone and sent him $50. His brother gave me his last check which was over $400 so its the least I could do. I didn't even have to do that but w/ a possible strikes case, I felt compelled to show some compassion for the father of my son.
I sent him a few books based on the Law of Attraction and a letter telling him what I think about him and how I feel about this. I also wrote a letter to his attorney. I mentioned Delancy Street, our history, his paying me over $6000 in support and his dad's long emotional history filled with such loss. I don't know if it will do any good and honestly, he's where he needs to be. They may be saving someones life by having him incarcerated. Surely at some point his "luck" will run out and he will do something foolish that could very well hurt forever, innocent people.
I had to explain to DS lastnight what is happening because he asked when he could see his dad. His eyes welled up. My son is the sweetest little boy and doesn't understand what has happened. I'm concerned about his young psyche and how a "life sentance" would affect him.
I have to have faith - I DO HAVE FAITH and I'm going to be all my children need for me to be. I just hope that I make the right decisions moving forward and that my past mistakes don't cause my children to have difficult lives. I love them soo much!!!
