feel...

I read your statuses and it pains me that we are all going through this. Most of us are on here because we have someone in prison. Some because they have been to prison and lend their knowledge to us. Some are still here because their man is out and he is struggling with the monsters inside himself... I feel so bad for all of us going through our individual situations. The time they spend in there we will never get back. How they are when they get home .... is questionable. What demons will they harbor from being on the inside. How best to help them conquer those feelings and monsters that rear up inside them? How do you stop them from feeling they need to run from the only person that cared while they were in there? I read stories and feel sad. I think of my own situation and I worry that the same thing might happen to my guy. I worry for all of you. I worry and think of each of us...the long wait...the phone calls we miss..the man or woman that should be sitting beside us.. I can't make the days go faster for any of us but I think that I/we should be looking into potential help for them for when they get out.... why do they feel they should run from those that care for them most? I'm scared for what will happen after my guy comes home. I have a while to wait still. I'm scared though now. What should I do to prepare? I guess I will need to research and find out techniques and things that are helpful for people that go to prison. It can't be easy being in there and then thrust back into the real world... I feel for all of you. Short and long sentences...we are in this together. We are the women waiting for our men... Keep strong ladies!
