Husband in Prison

I used to work at a prison and would see these inmates that were in for 20 and up to life. Life is different in prison. I don't have anything positive to say, other than it is time you try and take care of yourself. Put yourself first, and everything else will happen in time. First, why is he in there to begin with? Didn't he think enough about his family before making the choices that he made? I am sure I sound judgemental too. I am sorry. I have seen so much. I have seen many inmates adapt and live an entirely different life in prison. They end up with prison mates, and play house. It isn't fair to these women who are faithful and have been honest in this relationship. Not to mention that Aids is rampant in prison. Many wait for these spouses to get out, and are faithful. They end up catching hIv or aids. It is heart breaking. The pain of missing him is tough, no doubt about it. But the pain of losing yourself might not be something you want to take the time and invest in. After all, you didn't do the crime. Why must you do the time? I am sorry if I offend you. I am just being honest and sharing what is in my heart.

charlaranae hi while I am not in that situation I can relate inthat I am a human'being and you also are one.I can well imagine it is hard for you to wait out his term and painful too. but I admire you for sticking by him' as so many women do not.So I am sending my prayers for your husband to get his parole maybe even earlier and thus come back home to you.I am praying for you too to have the same strength and courage you have displayed thus far. also I do hope you get more responses from other women who are in the same situation as yourself, and that they help and encourage you.

Though I am not in similar situation yet as a woman I can relate to missing your husband and it being so tough. Its good you shared this with us…it will take some load off your chest. But I would really want you to give another look at the second response.

Thank you for your post, I know it must be hard but hang in there, life is precise. and the good thing is he's still alive and you can visit him everyday.

Hello! im single and cant relate but I do understand how painful it is not to be with the one you love. The longing's just so unbearable at times. But always reminder that everything happens for a reason God gave us problems because He knows that we can learn something from it. Just pray and ask for answers to your questions. There are some questions that only God can perfectly answer. God bless you =)
