Hi Journal, it's me and I relize it's been awhile since I wrote. Things have been so busy here, it seems as if only days have gone by, but in reality it's been weeks or months. So here's what's been going on lately. My fiance is going to the hospitol and I'm glad, because he will have contact visits. I'll finally get to touch him after 5 months, I can't wait!!! He will be there for about three months then back before the judge. So I'm hoping for the best. Also we brought David's grandma home from the nursing home, and that is more than we thought it would be. She has already fallen three times. She has to be watched all the time and that is hard on us three. Things are so crazy here...

Journal Entry for March 14, 2009 Mood
Saturday, March 14, 2009 | A Call For Help story

I'm having a hard time right now. My husband is in jail and looking at some time. But first he has to go to a state hospitol. The judge says he is unfit to stand trial because he is by-polar with scezofrenic tendencies.This is so hard for me because I uprooted my life in Texas to move here and be with him. Things are hard because I live with my mother-in-law and everything here reminds me of him. I miss him so much, I go see him every sunday and I wish I could just bring him home with me. On the way home I cry my eyes out and it takes me days to pull it back together. It's so frustrating because we are at the mercy of the court system. Plus I have this fear of state hospitols, because of rumors I have heard. I'm so affraid that he will only get worse!!! I sometimes feel like giving up and I know that I can't because if I do that then I can't help him. I only pray things get better...

    I am sorry you are going through a tough time. Don't listen to the rumors too much. The scary but true thing is that you don't know what these hospitals are like. It could, however, turn out to be okay! He might be able to actually get real help and the treatment that he needs. That does not make it any easier for you being away from him , though, I understand as I miss Jake very much. S

Hi Journal,it's me again. Seems I've got alot to write about lately. I went to another meeting tonight at Bagpipers club and met even more ladies that trully seem genuine. I also found a sponsor. Her name is RuthAnn and she is the sweetest lady I've met so far. We have so much in common, I'm really looking forward to working with her. I also volunteered to chair meeting in the womens jail. Which I am also lookin forward to doing. Everyone here is so friendly and that's exactlly what I need right now with David being gone. It keeps me occupied and helps me from being so sad and depressed. I'm really starting to have a life now, and it feels really great!!!
