Families of Prisoners Support Group

We aren't statistics because no one acknowledges what families of prisoner's go through. No one out there seems to care except those of us involved in it.

Sorry you are so distressed.

Iam sorry things are not so good.
We are not stats no gives a rats about us who are on the other side waiting.

60% of marraiges end in divorce..yep your a statistic! Would never wish this on anyone either...When you Love someone you are with them wether you choose to "stay" or not..You can't really turn that off, ever. It is a horrible place to be in life..especially if you truley Love your husband.. Right here is where we try to lift each others spirits..You sound like you know what you want, that makes your choice very easy....and you can get a divorce if they don't sign the papers..judge will order it after a certain amount of time!! .I don't know what I would be capable of if this was a new "normal" in my life..I say I would hit the door running because that is obviously the easiest way to avoid thinking of having to do this ever again....but I have no idea how I would go on living with a strong spirit if I actually could walk away from my husband...he is my Love.....Not sure I could do it and be happy that is for sure..this whole part of my life story is VERY SCREWED UP! I have not made many friends here becuase I tend to speak my heart which is pretty pissed off right now ... but that, is what I thought I was here for..speaking about your feelings and making sure others feel welcome too! It is the only place I feel that maybe, some will get that heart wrenching sadness that takes over at the most inappropriate times and know they have someone to "talk" to..just about them... Listening without talking once in a while..that is what most of us need!! So, if your heart is still in it and you wish to have some comfort that is what we are here for..For me, the anger comes and goes, it is a coping mechanism I am sure! Good luck to you!

Welcome Oolive, sorry you are having such a hard time..

Well said Mskim.. I am glad that you speak your mind and it's easy to see that what you say is heartfelt. I appreciate your comments and help on here. You've got lots of friends and I'm proud to be one of them.. hugs~

Best of luck to you and i hope the choice you make is something you don't regret in the future.

Hi, im new to this site and not sure where to start , my best friend is in prison and i have alot of questions

Welcome! We all were new at one time or another. We all were scared, and still are to some degree.

You will find support, encouragement, advice, and sometimes we ask for all of that too.

We all are angry at what has happened to our lives, sometimes we don't understand what happened, why they got what they did, how the prisons treat us. If we had better answers from the system, we wouldn't have all of those emotions. We just want our people home, and if they can't be we just want to see them, be able to talk to them, and know they are ok. We want them to get the help they need and sometimes it does not seem that's the intentions of the justice system. If we are wrong, then we just want to be informed.

So sometimes we come on here for many reasons. All of us are good people who are sad. BUT we do have fun on here too. We have a common bond. We lost someone in our life for whatever reason. It helps to be on here. We feel safe here. Not often does anyone judge us.
