Hello all I just found this website and I'm soooo incredibly happy now! My husbands problems started back on 11/19/01 when he was arrested during a sting operation with the Feds. He spent the week of Thanksgiving in jail but we were able to get him out on a property bond. He lost his great job due to this mess but was furtunate to find an even better job on 1/2/02. Then on Feb 26th we got a notice that the DA was trying to revoke his bond due to some more info they had found. Because our love was so strong and I wanted him to not worry about me we were married in secret at our home on 1/31/02... but unfortunately the judge ruled in favor of the DA and on 2/5/02 my husband was sent back to jail where he sits. Our lawyer advised us to plead guily to avoid court and a jury and promised that the sentencing should be quick. Just got notice this week that instead of this month going to sentencing that it will not take place until July 12th!!! UGGG I'm finding myself becoming very mad at the process and also easily aggrevated! Can someone offer some advice or maybe some books, etc to help me? Thanks so much!

It is very easy to get mad. You have plenty of reason to be mad. Remember that your love will make it through all of this. May women on this site can share in your frustration. You have made a great start by talking about it. Don't let it bottle up ok. We are here for you promise.

Hey Georgia-- Unfortunately, this is typical of our screwed up correctional system (delays)---I know it seems like forever but July is really just around the corner--hang in there!! we are here if you need us --take care--i'm thinking about you!!

Peach,
I understand your frustration. I don' t know much about the federal system, but, it seems they all like to make you wait. My husbands 1st sentence was served by the time he made it to court. He was released 2 days after being sentenced and the waiting was the worst part. This was his 1st offence, and he spent it in county prison. So I don't mean to get your hopes up, I don't know your exact situation. You will get thru it. It won't be easy, but, it will be over one day. I know I felt stronger after going thru it., and here I am going thru it again. They say "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" . This is a good place to get it out. I'm new here too, but it helps to have people who understand. I wish you lots of luck, your in my thoughts!!!!

Just wanted to say welcome! This is a great place to air out your feelings and get info too!

Thanks everyone for your support. Last night when my husband called he could tell that my spirits were high...I told him about this wonderful website!!! I know that I have bottled up most of my emotions cause I haven't told but just a very small few friends. I'm trying to avoid having to tell the family cause I'm afraid that they will judge him for this mistake he made.

Thanks again and I'm sure I'll be posting ALOT! hehe
