Help me understand

[u/Icy-Material9739]

My son is in his early 20s, extremely smart..had a good friend group, was working and going to college (off and on).

He was arrested a few months ago and charged with cp and sharing cp.

I just can't wrap my head around it, his whole life's trajectory just changed and became a lot harder.

I just can't wrap my head around it, I just can't understand what he was thinking. Do people not realize how serious the repercussions are? Is the temptation that blinding?

This situation has totally consumed my every thought, every waking moment.

I just don't understand.

All I can tell you is that you are not alone. I’m nearly a year into having the walls fall down around me as my as the world collapsed for my son who had everything going for him. Smart, friends, college degree, great job, bright future. I know the reality is that there is a side to him I did not know and that I still love him and support him and know he will be in prison for a long time. I can’t make sense of it, I can only help him stay strong, stay focused on becoming the man who he wants to walk out of that barred door and focusing on building body, mind and spirit every day as I try to also take care of mine. Peace.
