some
people say I am acting cold or childish but isn't it better to act the way I am acting instead of being hysterical or feeling miserable? '
I have just accepted it and instead looked at "positives" of the situation (a bit more freedom with her being absent for a little while (if it was longer I'd feel worse) , her maybe looking at things now from a different perspective)
I'm not tearing her down with it or sonething. I'm just not feeling scared or anything and instead feel that is rather thrilling, it is an experience not many peploe go through.
Things I said are this
1. Before she surrendered to jail. We went out to a restaurant. I teased her about how tomorrow she was going to be behind bars and taking orders from people. She joked back that the food she's eating now won't compare to prison food.
2. I was telling my dad and some friends I trust how "maybe she'll see how it feels when I get punished"
I hope this doesn't sound too malicious or uncaring.

It's not too malicious, but make sure you try to keep some of those thoughts to yourself instead. The way you talk out loud is going to influence your thinking. So if you constantly make comments like that, you're going to start thinking that way seriously too. If you talk positively and tell your friends and dad things such as "it's only six months, it will go by fast" and other positive statements like "I can't wait for mom to come home so we can all spend time together" etc you will think more positively. It's kind of like how when you smile, you feel happy. Even when you're sad, if you really smile you will feel a little but happier its the same with your talking. And it's okay to feel sad, some people you say tell you that you are childish or cold, maybe this is because inside you are covering for your sadness? It's natural to feel upset and saddened by your situation. In fact, feeling upset and sad shows that you care and are affected. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, you are human. If you feel sad, talk to your dad about it, perhaps you can keep a diary of this experience for you as it will make you feel better. Another good idea is writing your mom a letter, or multiple ones. Little actions will help relieve your emotions, you should use your friends and family to cheer you up through this time. Everything will be just fine :-)
