That's so sad for you Pepe and what a shame you had to grow up without your mom - but I agree with everyone - telling her the truth at a young age will help her learn to deal with it - she's going to find out one day and it should be from YOU.
you can discuss it when times are right and teach her that all people in prison aren't 'bad' people - they're just people that lost their way - What's good about telling her now is she'll have an ongoing life lesson on what can happen to us if we choose certain 'paths' in life - and maybe she can develop a relationship with your mom while she's inside - Are you saying you've taken her to the prison or she only travels with you and has never visited ???
I wish you all the best with YOU and your relationship with your mom - maybe she'll come out of prison with a new outlook on life and finally turn it around for herself - |
