Found out tonight that Steven is being moved to Belknap County Jail where he will remain until his trial on October 24th. Then he will be charged on four B class felony counts of possession of a deadly weapon. The way things were explained to me, the best case scenario (other than his getting the case dismissed) is one year. Worst, fifteen years in Concord. Concord means prison, not jail.

I can't even think...can't even breathe right now. I just am barely even functioning. And I don't know what to do. I have cried more in the past 24 hours than I have in a very long time. And yet I know it's not over. It's not even close to being over.

How am I going to be strong enough to shoulder this one?

When I was younger, my brother was placed in prision for possession with intent to sell for weed. It turned our immediate family in on its self. My parents would argue and cry for days. My mom would toss me in the car and force me to wait outside while she went in and visited him for ten mins at a time. She would stay up at night and cry for hours because of how badly her son would ruin his life.

All in all, I understand what that's like.

The only thing you can do it grab on to your supports, the people whom are there for you the most, and have them help keep your spirits up while you're waiting for the situation to settle. It's all you can really do.

*hugs* Try to hang in there, and when it happened in my family, my mother and I would pray a lot. Maybe you should try some of that? It sounds lame, but what else do you have?

It seemed like my family was going to fall in one each other for a little while there, but I think we're doing okay. And praying doesn't sound lame to me at all. In fact, I believe because we've been doing so much of it things are turning out the way they are.

*snuggles* Thank you.

...Wait. Having the on his WALL?!

I'm not understanding.

And PRISON?!

Holy hell, this just doesn't seem right to me.

When my sister was in jail, we all basically just thought positive. Said what we could do with her when she got out, like helping her with this and that. Or going here and there. Basically just thinking positive.

Your brother just seems to be going through quite the rough patch, hmm? I'm glad to hear he's sobered up though!

Hopefully this'll blow over, and he can do what he wanted to do before.

Does he have a good lawyer?



Stay strong Baba. Even though it is hard. Be positive.

And I'm always here if you need another shoulder.

love you<3

Well I found out they weren't actually on his wall but behind his couch. With dust on them, no less. We're working on getting him a good lawyer and things are looking optimistic, so that's good.

&hearts you too

Seriously though. They're not considered weapons, they're considered decoration pieces! (at least, hanging on the wall like that)

I sincerely hope his lawyer can get the case dismissed for him. That's a load of bull.

Yeah, the lawyer we're talking to has said that this is a bunch of crap and she's so confident Steven shouldn't even be charged with any of this that she's flying out from California to be at his arraignment and represent him. So here's hoping and praying!

You are strong enough to handle it, honey. And so is your brother, regardless of the outcome.

This is the time to step out on faith, hold on to the understanding that there is a plan, and know you will make it through.

Sometimes this is a cold comfort, but cold comfort is better than no comfort.

I think we are making it through and sometimes I can't figure out how. But we are, and it's a day to day thing. *loves*
