Lesson Overview

32.4 – Navigating Life with an Incarcerated Parent: Having a parent in jail or prison changes everything—from how people see you to how you see yourself. It can feel like carrying a secret that others use to judge your family, even though you did nothing wrong. The silence around incarceration often leads to shame and confusion, especially when you don’t understand why it happened. You might miss phone calls, letters, or visits that never come, and you may even feel torn between love and disappointment. Those feelings are real and deserve space, not silence. It’s important to remember that your parent’s actions don’t define your worth or future. Building a trusted circle of teachers, counselors, or friends can help you process emotions safely. You can love someone and still want to live differently than they did. Your story is still yours to write, and your ability to rise above pain shows strength that many never have to develop.
