How do I possibly begin to cope with my fiance' having to go to prison today. He does deserve the punishment he's received, and he's owned up to that also. We've been together for years, seen each other everyday, now for the next 11-23 mth I won't see him. I can't even describe my emotions. I'm almost blank. I feel so hurt. Our children 4 & 2 think he's going away to work for a few months. But I know they'll miss him, which makes this situation even harder. One of the hardest things I had to do was watch him walk into that prison this a.m. I will be strong for my kids, and suppress all my hurt, anger, and sadness when with them. But I know at night, or when I'm alone it will all come out. How do I even begin to cope and deal with this situation. Can anyone give me advice?

It will be OK. I was in this situation except I was going to jail, You are always going to be on his mind every second that he is away from you. Just continue to be faithful while he is gone and write him at least 4-6 times a week. Because if u think u feel bad he is devastated, and he is going to need you to be strong for him. Before you know it he will be home and you two be back together. My girlfriend waited for me for 18 months I got out and Im doing a lot better and now we are 11 weeks pregnant and happy as ever.

Hi I've been threw the same thing with my brother and my husband,I also have 2 kids from my husband. Let me tell you my husband was going to do 10yrs so you could even imagine what I was feeling my brother is doing 15yr luck thanks to god my husband beat the case and doesn't have to do no time but he was away for aweek it felt like years to me even thoe you can go see him. The only part that will hurt is when you have to leave with out him.but as time goes by so will your pain, your pain will heal as well.it will not be easey when your kids ask for their dad you have to be very.very strong.time goes by so fast this will be over soon my 4yr old would go to sleep crying for his dad as time went by he felt better time will heal all wounds but not for my mom is hard for her but she is also healing .my brother needs 4more yrs.time will heal your heart. When ever you feel to talk just send me an email or just a messeag. Trust me I'll help you get threw this your not alone.you'll get feedback from others as well.
