My Boyfriend got transferred to minnesota, because our state prison is over full. But the a*****s never gave them any notice so i never got to say goodbye. I didnt go to visiting the week before he left, because he was suposed to be getting a tatoo that week, and he didnt want to get in trouble for that. He was suppoosed to let me know whether or not he was going to but he didnt so we basically had a misunderstanding and i didnt go; two days later they sent him away. So now i really wont get to see him for 2 more years. I was so use to going out there twice a week but now i won't get to see him at all. well unless i travel there but its way to far and i cant afford it:confused: i dont know i am going throught this depression now how can i get my spirits back up. Plus I'm concerned for him, not beinng able to see his son or me or his family. i hope he's not there for his whole time!!! I guess we didn't believe they would transfer him.

I went through that when my boyfriend was in county i used to go up twice a week whenever he was able to have a visit I was there and I had been planning to go up on a thursday but they moved him on tuesday so I had to wait 2 months to see him I know thats nothing compared to having to wait 2 years but i was still upset so I can only imagine how you feel. When I finally did go up to see him i was on the bus about 15 hours. I live in Albany NY and I had to go down to NYC which is about a 2.5 hour trip then I had to catch another bus to his prison which was a 9 hour ride and it cost about $120. Maybe you could start saving up money to see him?? Do you know if they are gonna have him do his whole bid there or are they planning on moving him back when the crowding goes down??

Hang in there Rachel. We have a few members who are going through this with you.

I'm sorry you don't get to visit so often anymore...

Maybe a few of you girls can round up and make a trip of it??? Just a thought...

*hugs*

My husband was sent as well. We didnt think he would go and had no way to even mentally prepare for the what ifs. We were that sure he was staying here. Needless to say I was very caught off when I got a call from MN on Monday. To make matters worse I missed the call. I was a mess all week. I finally heard from him last night.

I know what you are saying about being able to see him and all the sudden now you cant. My kids and I feel the same way. We didnt get the chance to visit the weekend that he left either.

After talking to him last night I am feeling much better and gaining my strength. If you need anything then I am a PM away

Well I just want to say that I am sorry that they moved your boyfriend. And also welcome you to PTO and the Idaho forum. As of yet my fiancé hasn't been moved, we don't think he will, but all this that has happened to others goes to prove everything is uncertain. We are all here for you the best we can be. Good luck on everything.

Ladies..
When my family and I lived in Minnesota we used to drive to Seattle which took about a day 1/2 and the drive wasn't too bad-very pretty...Maybe all of you could plan and save for a "Road Trip" and go together,.share the costs and have some FUN..

I would give anything to take a trip down this summer, but chances are it wont happen. The kids would ring my neck if I went without them and to car pool and take the kids would have to be done in a van or small bus :D

LOL TNC, you only have 3 kids, not a busload! hehehehehe
Maybe someone else with one or two kids, or two or three ladies with no kids could share in renting a van or maybe someone has one that you can use, borrow, or whatever. Never give up hope ladies. Where there is a will, there is a way, ALWAYS!
