I would be devastated. I would write to her often and go and see her whenever I could. I would rely on the rest of my family to help me to get through it.

A lot would depend on your age. If you're still a minor, is your father around to take care of you? If not, the court would have to appoint someone as your legal guardian until you're of age. If you're an adult and on your own, I guess the best bet is to stay out of trouble yourself. That also applies if you're a kid.
I really can't figure out whether you're upset about it and are going to miss your mother, and are looking for sympathy, or if you're just asking what you should do. If she faces a long term, you are allowed to visit her on the designated days. If she is to be incarcerated for six years, she will be in prison, not jail. People don't stay in jail for more than a year at the most. Longer terms are generally served in prisons. So if you're still a minor, stay clean, stay out of trouble and go to school. If you're an adult, stay clean, stay out of trouble and go to work. The time will go by faster than you think. Good luck!

Depends one what she did to get there and how you feel about her and how old you are.
Do you agree that she should be there or are you angry ?
Do you love her and have a good relationship with her ?
If you are old enough i would find some where to live if you dont live out of home already and find a good job.
If you are too young i would find a family member you can rely on to care for you.
I think if you have a good relationship with your mum then you should support her, visit her if it suits both of you.
I wouldnt say it would be easy.
It depends on the circumstances but you need to stay positive and make sure that you make the right choices in life.

I'm so sorry that you're in such a tough spot. Remember that it's your mom whose going to jail and not you. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Since you didn't say why she was in jail I don't know about your relationship but my hope would be that this time in jail will give her time to think and turn her life around. Love her. Write her letters and for your sake and for hers make healthy choices for yourself. Write to her about how you are doing well in school. Don't let this ruin your life. If you're still in school then concentrate on your studies so you can build a good life for yourself in the future. You don't have to follow in her footsteps and if she's like most mom's she's feeling really guilty about messing up your life. By doing well it will make her life in prison easier, but more importantly it will make YOUR life easier. By staying out of trouble and working hard in school you simplify your life and use this time to build a person of character inside of yourself. Good luck!

depends on what she went for. My mom went for drugs and I haven't lived with her since the I started kindergarten and now I'm in a Freshman in High School you get used to it, unless you had a good relationship with her then you shouldn't let this thing and her going to jail get in between you and her. everyone makes mistakes and you shouldn't blame her she will feel guilty for what she did and they probably wont hold her for that long any way, if she has good behavior.

Pray to God that she will not be in the jail for such a long period..But,if yes..what I'll do is visit her whenever I got chance to do so...Whatever she did,she is still my mom...no body can replace her...So,I'll play my roles as her daughter..Actually this is a correct time to show that I love her very much..At this moment..she needs support from everyone...her husband,daughter,son and the whole family..

Honey; don't worry they will probably let her out on good behavior earlier than expected. Just pray to God that everything will work out for your family.

First, I'd ask her what she's going in for and if it was bad then I would be very disapointed and only wonder if she's going to be okay.

accept the fact that if she made a bad choice, then she has to pay for it, and YOU have to work hard to be a good person and keep out of trouble¡¡¡¡¡
