The longest I have been away from home is two years. The challenges and expectations I face after being away from home are emotional and mental irregularity, while feeling distant from the people I am close to, the people I love.
The relationship status between me and my family isn’t always the best, but I have no issue following household rules. Concerns I have about going home are me letting the same bad influences and friends back into my life. But, I am not discouraged. I know I have the help and support I need from my legal team and hard-working family members.
My mother returned home from prison a couple months ago. I’ve seen her struggle when dealing with finding employment and housing. Getting out of prison itself is a challenge. I never want to end up there. So, to prevent that I am going to commit to positivity and not follow behind that negativity I was shown throughout my life.
