I know they are dealing with abandonment issues/possible depression so I want to try and be there for them but I was also not on the best terms with them leading up to this so I'm not sure if seeing me would just make it worse.

Don't have any friends who have had any situations like this so not really sure where to look for advice.

White collar crime, not anything violent
I'd probably write them off BUT I have very little patience any more. Additionally I put very little value on "family" as I see no reason why the vagina they came out of should determine whether you put up with their shit or not. But I'm pretty odd as far as I can tell so I expect most people will tell you the opposite. It's really up to you how much you value the relationship. If you don't care that much then walk away. If you really want to be a part of their life then continue to see them in jail
