Welcome to our New Forum!

This forum is about discussing your thoughts, feelings and issues now that you and your incarcerated (or formerly incarcerated) loved one are no longer together.

What this forum is NOT about is blatant bashing of any sort. While we understand you may be bitter and angry, we don’t want this forum to turn into a “lets bash the ex forum.” Forum Staff reserve the right to remove/edit threads and posts of a bashing nature.

Why Shouldn’t I Bash Him/Her?

Simply because bashing is not healthy for healing.

There is a sense of being on the side of justice, and the process of bashing seems to make one feel better (temporarily at least). Unfortunately, this process is no better than making oneself feel better by smoking, by drinking, or by another addictive behavior.

Why?

Essentially, bashing just releases steam without facing one's real issues beneath the anger. In all likelihood, bashing will produce a painful backlash. Confirmed bashers will feel righteously indignant about the backlash and often trap themselves into more bashing. VERBAL BASHING IS A TRAP!
