im new here and just need to know how to cope, My babe has a sentence of 10 years Federal time and already has 1 year down. I feel so lonely and the need of him only gets stronger, but no one that I know seems to really care about what I am going through.

Ms.901996C 05/10/2018

Yes. Mekaj. The feeling that no one knows what your going through or how you feel is a sucky one. We understand it though.
Keeping busy and having your own goals helps. The letters, visits and phone calls does help with the loneliness.
The best thing I've found is to convince yourself to stay strong emotionally for him because having him see you sad will be detrimental for him on the inside.
