Hugging you right now! You are already doing stuff to stay strong -by reaching out. Continue to do that, and have faith.

i felt the same when my baby got moved from county to state...it sucked but you waited for that phone call and finally when u did it was the most amazong thing EVER...and then i just keep thinkin everyday that goes by without him is one day closer to being with him i mean there are days that go buy when you think i have 251 more days to get thru and how am i gonna do it well you just take one day at a time and think positive...stay strong and we are ALL here for you

It is really hard when the unknowing is not known. Stay strong. We are all right here beside you. I would go out to the Department of Corrections for you state and see if you can follow him by the inmate list. This will at least give you a little peace of mind that he has made it to his destination. I am not sure how the long the process will be before the phone numbers on his list get approved at the facility but give it a few days. If anything you could write him a letter letting him know you have been keeping up with his where abouts. I hope this helps. I know none of this is easy but it does get better to deal with.

It's hard you probably wont be able to talk or see him til after he is processed and moved. YOu can get letters though. You can get through this. My husband was in KS for over 2.5 yrs and I was in AZ, in that time I only saw him 4 times. You can do this. Just remember how much you love each other and hold onto that. Write him often, it helps you also to write and let him know what is going on.

For me it was a sigh of relief when they moved him from county to state, it meant that he would finally be placed in a better facility. Of course the assesment/reception center isn't better, but once he left there he was in a better place. We were just waiting for him to get moved. I don't know how things work in your state. Does this mean he's closer to his permanent placement? If so consider it a good thing, this means he's finally moving somewhere a little more peaceful where he'll have more freedoms. My guy went into dorm style living so much better then the cramped quarters at county. It also meant we eventually got to start having CONTACT visits. No more plexiglass and phones that don't work. So for us it was a GREAT thing. Yeah he's a ton further away, but he's in a better place for him emotionally. It's hard to go that time without knowing when and where, but once things get back to a routine, I think you both will feel relief. And that's always good right?

THANK YOU ALL I knew I could turn to this sight for the support I needed. Yes it's a good thing he is being moved, I think its just the unknown of how long that hurts the most.....I have a hard enough time with every other week visits, how do I go weeks. But knowing that I will get a hug when I see him next does help. And I try to remind myself that now he will see sunlight and he hasnt done that in 5 months. Again, thanks to all of you!!
