So i have been so worried bc in the facility my fiance is they r on lockdown for a week now. I havent hear from him. And is really killing me inside. I think is torture to keep off contact from getting in touch with his family i have send him a letter but they also holding on to that. I just need to hear his voice and know that he is okay.

Hey iam sorry you need us this place is a good place we get it.
Ok for the mail they take there time in processing it we were about a week behind in our letters it drove us nuts. Keep a eye on the place his at to a. Make sure they haven't moved him and b. To find out when there off lockdown. In the mean time keep writing to him and keep busy yes its easy to say that but it really will help you.
Try and talk to his family they might be able to tell you something.
Hugs

Hey thanks yea the place he is now they just moved him in there like a week ago. I called them up today and they said that they will put their mails in hold into lockdown is over. And his family since he got locked up they are pretty much invisible they dont help or support at all..So is just me with the help of my mom. I tried to keep my day busy with cooking, cleaning the kids but is a bit harder now since i used to always talk to him 2x a day. Now i feel like im seriously dragging myself to do anything. O never ever been thru this when i got with him he already had probation he was out here for 5yrs without violating his probation working and doing everything a loving father and husband should do. But sadly i deal with a physco path ex husband who keeps making our life miserable.Trying to stay really strong and get use to this new situation. I dont like the prison he is in i heard is one of the worse in CT. I just wish i could hear his voice.

Unfortunately some families are like that when someone gos back in its the choice and as frustrating as it we can't do anything about it.
That sucks that they have put a hold on there mail while the lock down is on to me the just tells me that they are lazy there and working on the theory that they don't have to work with the lock down going on......dont stop writing to him he will love those letters!
I hope your ex leaves you alone i know how hard that can be.
Hugs.

Try to stay strong for your kids. Lockdowns unfortunately happen, but its out of our control. You can only control your attitude... i am sure he will be ok, just be patient and he will call you. It's not easy but just try staying busy like you are.
