Hi I am new, my Fiancé is currently in Prison, he has been away since July, I am new to all of this, we have a 2 month old son, he missed his birth and helping raise him. He got a PV for assault, he already had previous charges and time away. He also had a Meth addiction which fueled his anger. He is now 109 days sober and doing better. It is hard not seeing him everyday or talking to him throughout the day.

Lately I've been feeling scared and full of anxiety. I recently found a lump under my nipple. I hurt my back too. I'm in the process of moving. I'm run down. Everything is hard

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
DS is a BIG website with allot of more active forums and lots of compassionate support. I hope you'll take the time to surf around and see what other flavors of support might be available.
Welcome aboard.
I can totally relate to your post.
I'm not currently with my ex fiance, but he is in prison. We had a pretty bumpy relationship the last year and a half due to his meth addiction as well. Lead to some pretty nasty crimes as the drug its self started to send him into a full blown drug physios. We have 3 kids together, one is 6 another is a year and I just gave birth 2 months ago which he has missed out on as well. He's been in a remand since May and just recently got sentenced for 26 months, but due to covid he remains in the remand. So he's been 6 months clean, and a total different person. Better than the person I spent 7 years with, that's for sure! We talk 3 to 4 times a day depending on his cell rotation, things can be quite difficult to maintain while they're in there. If you ever wanna talk, I'm always here :) .
