Families of Prisoners Support Group
This community is dedicated to families that have been disrupted by prison. Having a loved one incarcerated or having been incarcerated comes with its own unique challenges that require support and understanding. Join the group to find others who know what you're going through, and to seek advice or share your experience.
just quickly,
I think we all need to have a chat!
If there is something we need to say and talk about lets do it now, because were all far too old to be doing this playground stuff.
Right,
Were all here because our men did wrong, regardless of the crime etc were all here because our men messed up! We all have our own opinions, and sometimes we should keep our thoughts to ourselves(easier said than done) but we should, me included sometimes if i have to say something i make myseld heard its a good trait& also a bad one.
The strength of sites like this is twofold----1) It allows a GF, mother, or wife in emotional pain---as we all are at times----to come to a place such as this forum and pour her heart out without fear of being judged or ridiculed. The people here should be one of the few that really understand the situation, and 2) it allows the poster needing support to realize that she is not alone in her situation. There are others in the same boat who want to help.
The subjects discussed here, which are prison related, are not subjects that can ordinarily be discussed with the neighbor or even within the family. Most people are too judgmental and when they hear the word “prison”, they begin to shy away from any meaningful discussion, which leaves the GF, wife, or mother feeling alone and isolated. All these things can be discussed here. If they cannot be discussed here without judgment, then we are no longer a support forum and the forum has lost its purpose.
My two cents.

eyedeekay that's awesome that you have your/his family, however not all of us on here have that as this is the only place they can talk about what's going on, me being one.
Webb yes you're right in the fact that we are all too old, I know I am since I'm probably the oldest at 41, however this isn't 'playground' stuff. This is some folks tearing down what someone else believes to be doing what's best for them and making their lives happy. We get it you won't stay with a man who's a SO, rapist, etc., however that's your feelings, not the person(s) that chooses to do so. And like I said before it's not all in what you say but how you say it as well.
And rew I just went a read your other comment and it is very wonderful! Everything I read from you is always very helpful no mater if it's meant for me, someone else or everyone(:
I work on the thought that theres no point in bringing up the why someone loved one is doing time..hey they already know that so why point it to them especially at the very start it doesn't help it only hurts.
I agree with what everyone has put here.
