I HAVE BEEN ON THIS PRISON TALK FOR 1 DAY. I AM GLAD I FOUND IT. I HAVENT TALKED TO MY HUSBAND TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPEND TODAY AT HIS PAROLE INTERVIEW. BUT I AM SOO STRESSED. WITH THE HOLIDAYS. THE KIDS. I HAVEN'T LET IT GET TO ME UNTIL TODAY. I GUESS IT IS TOO MUCH FOR ME. I KNOW SOMEONE COULD RELATE. I AM JUST SO SAD. I KNOW HE IS COMING HOME SOON, BUT HE ISN'T HERE NOW. AND THIS IS WHERE I NEED HIM AT. THE KIDS ACT LIKE THEY ARE OK, TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. I DONT SHOW THEM THAT I AM UPSET. BUT THEY HAVE TO KNOW. SO THEY ACT LIKE THEY ARE OK. AND IT KILLS ME. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TAKEN AWAY THEIR CHRISTMAN. I DIDNT PUT UP A TREE THIS YEAR. I KNOW I SHOULD OF BUT I COULDN'T. I COULDNT AFORD IT EVEN IF I HAD DECIDED TO. I AM SORRY I AM A MESS.

Hi and welcome to PTO. We understand how you feel and we share your feelings. Christmas is a hard time of year for most of us here I think, I know that it is for me. When your feeling blue come join us cause there is always someone here who'll understand.

Don't be sorry. I think there are alot of us on here feeling the same way you are. It is really hard to be away from the people we love. Espically since there is nothing we can do about it. You feel helpless and hopeless.
I did put up a tree only because my kids are young. I try to put on a front for everyone, like I am doing okay. Yet inside I am dieing. I am really missing him.
Try taking it one day at a time and if things get really hard do an hour a time or even a minute if you have to.

Hello and Welcome to PTO.. take a deep breath and exhale.. everything will be ok.. We're as close as your keyboard anytime you need a friend..
