I-I-.....this might take a while.

To be honest, I DON'T know what to do. I've never known anyone in my family to be arrested-well, except my cousin Paul, but I don't know him too well.

What's important is to allow yourself to grieve. Don't hold back your tears. I think I read a study somewhere that it's healthy to cry. Let your friends comfort you, allow yourself to had your period of sadness after this.

Of course, this may not apply to everyone, so do what makes YOU feel good. Have some of the aforementioned friends over for an outing, play some video games....have fun.

If you are allowed to, write to your dad. He might be regretting the act, or he might just be sitting around feeling sorry, but letters from a loved one will really soften the blow for both of you.

And finally, like Codaa said, hope for the best. It may be hard to believe, but there's always a silver lining to something.

That's pretty much all the advice I have....hope it helps, and good luck. :)
