Night Shift

I know that feeling. It really does suck.

Do you have Netflix or something? You could watch an action show or something, lol.

@Snuchu - I am so sorry you have been treated in such a way

My son was in prison - it was Juvenile Dentention but it was a prison - high security - and yes - his crime was a bad one - I didn't give up on him though

But for your family to reject you in such a way is really horrible - my family treated me so badly when my son was in trouble I stayed away from them for years - off and on - and I think that being rejected when you are in so much trouble is really cruel - and counter-productive

No wonder things have been so hard for you

No @Snuchu The Reader is by a german about a woman who went to gaol for WWII crimes who actually didnt do a lot of reading. It was popular a while back and they made a film of it .. you could probably download it .. but as usual the movie made more of the sexual aspects than other aspects of the story .. its just thoughtful about good and evil .. rather than self righteous

I agree with @Decadian Hi how are you tonight?

its horrible to be cut out of a family .. but then also .. you have to want to work with them .. I dont know your circs .. I visited my brother in gaol once .. but he was only in for a week... it was really mind blowingly horrible to see him in Pentridge ... thank god it wasnt long.

@plasmoIn the old days we learned to entertain ourselves ... I have had a truckloads of problems in my life plab

but boredom was never one of them ... its sad ... you said you were aspie .. what are your special interests?

@Decadian, I was also in juvie (Juvenile dentention) for 17 months, but moved to adult supermax for a month and half because I attacked someone in juvie when I was 18. That was my last rage episode and I've been a lot better those years after the jail experience. For your information, I've been in minimum, medium, and maximum / supermax. It's really different.

Supermax isn't fun at all, it's like being in a quiet room (seg room) at the hospital. At least I was moved to a room that had TV when they determined that I was behaving good. Jeez...

My crime was something that I did when very unwell - it was a very violent crime, someone very close to me nearly died... They tried to commit me to the federal mental hospital but thank god they didn't because I would very well live there the rest of my life. Yeah, if you're commited in court with a very violent crime, you get commited for life, or almost. I feel lucky.

However, there's a bright side to this... Jail matured me, and helped me lose my anger. I control it very well now.

@plasmo, if you ever find anything interesting on radio like you mentioned the bipolar one yesterday, do let us know... I'm interested. 🙂

That is quite a story @Snuchu I am glad you got something out of gaol. Many people dont. Maturing is sometimes slow and steady .. and sometimes goes in leaps and bounds.

I was locked up in a way .. between 6-8 .. in orphanages with cut glass cemented on top of high walls .. also saw and heard about drugs when I was there .. but still a bit young then ...

I agree with @Snuchu I tried to find the Susan Paxton .. ... do you know where I could find it on a podcast??

I just try and see something more than MI in a person .. but I am weird lol .. didnt mean to pry.

Why I ask plasmo .. is that sometimes what you describe can be normal ... I was much more interested in earth science when I was young ... not as much now .. but I still was interested in the siberian craters

.. my son was called aspie .. and probably his dad and I are both aspie .. to an extent .. just trying to chat with you about what you like .. my son was upset when accused of liking philosophy was a "pathological special interest ... where do we draw the line betwenn healthy and pathological.
