We All Have To Grow Up At Some Point
One of my friends, who has always been like a little sister to me, is in jail. She is in jail about two hours away. She has seven charges against her: drug trafficing (heroin and cocaine), selling both heroine and cocaine and four counts of possession: two for heroin and two for cocaine. She got caught with her mother. Her mother went straight to jail and she was released pretrial. A couple days later she got caught again and got herself a one way pass to jail. She has a two year old daughter who has been in state custody most of her young life. Her dad is in jail in another state also for drugs. And from what Im told she has been adopted and my friend has no chance of ever having her back.
She had court today to change her please to guilty. She hasnt been sentenced yet but her mom was sentenced 6-15 years. Her mom has been to jail before and has a long history of drug possesion so I dont know if she will get as much time as her mom or less.
I went to her court hearing today along with a couple of other friends. She came out in the blue scrub looking get up they make you wear, she was shackled, she looked awful and she was laughing. She stood in front of the judge with a smirk the entire time and when she left she looked back and yelled out: I love you guys.
I have received four letters from her which have all been the same: I went to the hole for this, I started drama between this girl and that girl and will you please send me money. She even goes as far as to refer to herself as jailhouse barbie. The first letter I got from her even talked about how they use detox pills to get high. The only good thing I have heard from her is that she got her diploma and is planning on starting college classes.
I wrote back to her once, a very basic letter. Every time I get a letter from her I feel nothing but disapointment. I know that sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you realize whats going on so you can come back up. I figured permanantly losing your child and being in jail would be considered a big enough slap in the face to realize its time to turn your shit around but apparently not for her.
I found out today that another friend of ours had received a letter and was also highly disapointed so we talked about it and both agree its time she get a letter full of stuff she needs to hear but wont wanna hear. I hate to write a letter being a big ol bitch but would I really be being a friend if I didnt say the things she needs to hear?
Its hard to think about everything that has happened to her. When I first met her she wasnt like this. She was into the drama but then again she was young, she was 15 and I was 22, and I too was still in a drama phase of my life. But she def wasnt into drugs, she worked, she was a real sweetheart. But now look at her. Seeing her come out in shackles laughing broke my heart. Its really sad when people change for the worse.
