Do we ever feel silly for writing so much?? I send about ten letters a week and get about five, but he also sends my daughters cards and stuff and he barely knows them. We have been writing for almost a year and finally I gave my heart to him in October but just yesterday a baby's mama messaged me that he asked her to go see him. This is crazy to me because I am so down for him, way finer than her, and I am supportive of him to the fullest. She only went to see him once and that was a year ago to tell him she was having someone else's baby. That was the last time he saw his own kids. I have visted him four times in the past five months. I thought he was my best friend. He wants to get married and now this. I don't know if it is true but still I sent him three letters today. One was a "Do not open unless you don't hear from me for two weeks" letter and that was in case his ex shows me proof. It's full of my initial reaction. Full of anger and sadness. I wrote him one that was less emotional but still almost accused him and then another feeling guilty that I doubted him. It takes my mail 10 days to reach him and two days for his to get to me and we don't talk on the phone so I don't know what to write or what to expect within the next two weeks or so. Do I write? Do I continue to open his mail in case it's filled with lies. Just confused.

hello everyone,
i am sending prays and mail dances to u all. the prison mail system does put a damper on things. Especially around holiday times. Sometimes our men need gentle reminding that as long as they are locked up so are we metaphorically speaking, they are not home where we can yell upstairs to them nor roll over and tell them how we are feeling. So they need to respond to us if they can sometimes they can be in lock up, i know when i don't get anything from my other half when i usually should i can guarantee he is in lock down. So be good and take care of ourselves, the waiting game is hard enough so i have decided to do it with a smile on my face. best wishes to you all

Could he be asking her to visit so he can talk about getting to see his Children more??

She said he has always done for her before the children and that he seems way more concerned with her and not at all about the kids still. She said he doesn't write the kids. His son had a birthday recently and he didn't send him anything supposedly but my girls and I have gotten pictures he draws. Many. Kinda makes me feel like he is doing more for us than his own kids just like she said. What kind of man is that? I don't get it. I hate this feeling cuz all my friends tell me I am crazy to be with him. But they don't know how much heart ache I have seen as did he and how we seem so perfect together. I worry about the "jailhouse Jesus" he found and that maybe it's all an act. Nobody gets it. Thank God for this.

A few years ago when my brother was at Camp Hill I sent him a letter every week. Usually he would reply to every letter but for some reason that month he wasn't, finally about a month later, I get all 5 letters back stamped by the prison 'DECEASED' return to sender!! Okay..my brother is still alive, now at SCI Greene..but can u imagine?? Deceased, courteousy of the prison mail room. I was hysterical, sobbing so hard I could hardly speak to his counselor over the phone..That just made me appreciate his letters even more
