✨In this week's entry of our #thoughtfultuesdaytip series, showcasing 'Tips from a Father in Prison,' be sure to stay tuned for additional valuable perspectives! 📣
ALT “As a father in prison, I have experienced many different emotional highs and lows in trying to reattach to my son who is now a man with a family of his own. In my particular case, it was most difficult getting past the negative things my son was told about me during our separation. This is a common experience for incarcerated fathers. For years I had many questions about my son and how he was managing without a father. How had our separation made him feel about me being in prison? What exactly had he been told about me, and how could he eventually overcome any negative images or preconceived notions about me based upon what he was told? Was he angry? Was he worried about it? How did he think I felt about him? Most importantly, who did his father’s incarceration make him in his own eyes? So many questions. The following is a list of suggestions that you can try in maintaining the attachment to your children from inside a prison.”-Michael Carlin
ALT 17.) Make a realistic plan and follow through, no matter how bad things get, when re-connecting with your children after you are released from jail.
