the beginning

long story short... my bf is in jail awaiting trial for his offense. because of the federal charges he's looking at a minimum 15 years. I'm currently pregnant with his first child. the thoughts of all he'll miss is overwhelming but no one seems to understand or care. they all just tell me I'm better off with out him. I won't make excuses for his mistakes, they're horrible and have broken so much of what we had together. hes not asking me to wait for him and I'm not saying I will. I'm just wondering if my family will accept that I can't just leave him in there to deal with this alone... sometimes I feel like letting go of my love for him will mean that my ability to love anyone will disappear.
