So, of course we're appealing, but last week, my mother was sentenced to 18 months served in West Virginia starting June 9th. I can't say any more right now about the case in particular at this time, but I can speak a bit to my own state of mind in all this...
...I'm scared, confused, and upset. I mean, at least in my dad's case, he was a little over an hour away. We could (and did) visit him twice a weekend without much trouble. My mom will be 8 hours away. As selfish as it sounds...I have a whole life here, including work, friends, and participating in the Renaissance Festival. How can I make my situations compatible?
In truth, I'm not sure I can...
For background, see this, and if you know very little about the overall situation, start HERE.
