    • About Me

      I am now a survivor of a loved one in prison. Life is good now we are married...and loving eachother more than ever before. For everyone starting out remember that love and trust get you through this experience. The rewards are sometimes hidden through very very tough challenges but having them home is amazing.

      From Wants2BFree July 10

      Shannon, I just wanted you to know that your kind words were so helpful on my post. I had therapy last night, and my therapist pretty much said what you did, and to stay calm, keep faith and believe that after a few weeks they will come back at which time we can settle into a more open and liberal visitation.

      As an aside, my daughter's name is Shannon. How cool is that.

      Hugs,
      Regina

      From tiredtiredtired July 6

      So glad to hear he is coming to some maturity! It can drive you nuts when you want more for your child then they seem to want . Been there and done that! LOL!
      I was very glad to hear he is getting it together and not giving you such a rough time!
      Another year almost half over....where did the time go?
      It seems to speed up faster as I get older! Really! You shall see...in time!
      Love you Shannon....glad you are still around....I look for your comments.
      Hope today is a super great day for all of you and your family!
      Love Rhea

    • Close Families of Prisoners

      Approximately 5 years ago my bf was sent to prison for an assault case. He got out and had probation. Well this was all fine and good but he didnt do what he needed to do like pay the fees and such and the judge threw him back in jail for up to 19 months in prison. This would be all fine and good and I can understand he was wrong for not paying but he has not been in trouble in the last 4 years and he has been working his ass off to take care of us.

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
      I just talk about it instead of keeping it all inside.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      I write a lot of letters to him right now. it helps knowing that he knows how I feel.
    • Close Parenting Teenagers (12-18)

      I have a 17 yo daughter that is graduating early from high school this year she is a good kid and I have no troubles or complaints with her. I also have a 15 yo son who is a different story and I just need help with him.

    • Open Migraine Headaches

      My mother was kind enough to pass on the migraine gene. I am lucky enough right now that 7 times outta 10 Excedrin Migraine will kill it before it gets too far. However it is starting to get harder to kill it before I want to kill myself from the pain. As it is happening more often I am beginning to work on a pain/trigger journal so I can try to learn what is happening more. I just need some help getting started. I can honestly say that probably 4 days out of 7 I have some degree of a migraine.

      Treatments

      Caffeine Working / Worked
      Sometimes it works but so often if I am in a bad way and it is too late the coffee just makes me sick.
      Excedrin Working / Worked
      The only thing that helps to save a girl with migraines but no insurance or money. Usually 2 will help take the sting out of the migraine and 2 more 4 hours later kill it. It gets really bad when I can go through a bottle of 50 in only a little over a week.
      Imitrex Working / Worked
      When I had the ability to get Imitrex it did help but I had to be careful with it because more than once I had half of my face and body numb.
      Naproxen Not Working
      Doesnt do anything for me at all.
