Understand that the world now looks different to this Mother in pain, it doesn’t take much for her to get snatched out of the moment when something that may appear so minuscule to you may trigger off an emotional response from her out of the blue. You see, everyday she walks an unseen tightrope with the winds of insanity blowing at her intensely with every step that she takes. She is not crazy, it’s just that her mind is never really all the way her because as a Mother there is a piece of her that must be reconnected and she will never be the same until that fateful day arrives.
Again, it doesn’t matter what transpired to cause the incarceration of her child to happen and yes, she knows for the most part that if you do the crime then you must do the time. But most will get upset with her as a Mother when she still seems to treat her child as though he or she is not the imposing out of control criminal that the media will broadcast of them, she can’t help but feel what she feels but what you have to understand is that her world has been turned inside out and upside down literally overnight.
Now, I am not here to argue a case for anyone who has indulged in some type of criminal activity because I already explained earlier how I feel about it, but while we can sit at home and be entertained by the evening news when another “thug” is locked down, we never see the toil it can take on a Mother as she goes through the days, months and years through the court process to feel a guilt that she never deserved as a hard working law abiding citizen. SHE did not commit the crime but indeed while feeling it for her child the world can sometime make her feel as though it is something that she did or that she is at fault for the poor choices that were made by her son or daughter. Simply not true.
