    • Close Families of Prisoners

      I met my husband while he was in prison as a kind of fluke. We were married in 2002 at Pugsley Corr. Facility in Mi. This year has been the roughest on us - my daughter was expecting and lost the baby at 6 months It's been hard for all of us. It's hard to talk about my situation with my friends because they just can't undrstand what it's like for me. Some are supportive others are negative.

      Treatments

      Talking Too Soon to Tell
      I've been good at just keeping to myself except for my husband and his family but this year has been really hard and I need to try something different.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      It's helpful but I'm not real consistent with it. I should try harder and it would probably help more.
      Reading Working / Worked
      It's a great escape but still have to come back to the real world.
