- After all the hard back to back lockdowns for 6 weeks it has finally been over for a week now and we have seen my man twice and have had 3 phone calls from him. Today we had a 3 hour visit and it was awesome. It is always hard to leave him but...
- After weeks and weeks of lockdowns with no visits my son and I finally saw my love. It was a great visit. The facility is still on lockdown but they were allowing one hour visits today. We actually skipped school and work to go in case they ended up...
- Ever have your loved one somewhat push you away emotionally because of stress? I can tell by this last letter my love has let these back to back lockdowns get him down. I tell him to write more so he can feel connected to us, but he only does about...
- I miss my man so much! He has had literally 4 lockdowns at the prison he's at lasting a week or more in the past 6 weeks. He has only been able to call home once in that period of time and obviously no visits for the most part. It's been nearly a...
- Hey all! There's this book that the prison wives/girlfriends website offers called "Separated by Prison United by Conviction"..it's supposed to have like 250 questions you and you love answer together and it is used to keep your bond going despite...
- Wow this is the 2nd time in the last 3 weeks that the prison my man's at has gone on lockdown this time they aren't allowing phone calls or visits for the last week. We saw him a week ago, but haven't heard anything since. I did call the counselor...
- What's your experience with your loved one's counselor at the prison/jail they're located? My love's counselor is amazing! She really gave me peace of mind with this last lockdown. I think it's so hard to be in a situation where someone you care...
- I have the lockdown blues. Bad enough we haven't heard from him all week since our last visit last Saturday, now they are supposedly on some partial lockdown. My son is so strong, he's basically been dealing with this half of his life now. He was...
- Ever get tired of hearing those 3 words.. "You deserve better...." (than to be in a relationship with someone incarcerated)?My love has actually said this before in the very beginning, but I'm talking about your friends and family members that...
- One thing I miss about my love being in county jail is that he could call daily. Ugh. Maximum Security prison you can only call like once a week if you're lucky! Anyone else get infrequent calls? With calls being so infrequent you have to really put...
- Do any of you struggle for what to wear on a visit? For goodness sakes they are very picky about what you wear. I don't like going up there looking like a plain jane, but I don't want to go up there looking too sexy then I may not be able to visit.
- I think those of us (especially ones with children) can't help but feel resentful toward our loved one for not being here through terrible days, situations etc etc Especially if it's been years. (year 6 for me) . How do you mask your resentment? Or...
- Did any of you get married to your love while they were in prison? What was your ceremony like? Did he propose? Tell me about your experience. Any of you want to get married while your mate is in prison? Also any feedback from those of you already...
- Do you ever fantasize about how it would be if your loved one walked out of the prison doors today? Anyone feel uneasy about them re-entering the outside world? Falling back into bad habits? Or are you 99 percent sure they would live a productive...
- I know we always talk about sacrifices we've made for our incarcerated men. I want to know what gesture or gestures has he made since your man has been incarcerated that touched your heart, made you smile and just reassured you that this is all...
