First Time-Husband sentenced, no idea what to do

[shelton2712]

This is the first time my husband is going away fora long while. What am I supposed to do? How do I get through this ?

You have already made a huge step in getting thru this! That's when you joined PTO! You are going to find support here! Join in with your questions and answers for other's. I am glad to see you here!

You fill your days with lots of expensive prison phone calls, letters, and visits and buckle down for the long ride. And every once in a while get on PTO here and read all the helpful posts. Very interesting stuff. You are not alone on your wait for your loved one to come home. Express your angers, fears, and happy moments here and always show your husband how much you love him. You'll get through it. Welcome to the ride.

One day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time, one holiday at a time, one season at a time.... It's hard but your alot stronger than you realize. Take it slow and adjust. Then get your footing and start living your life out here. It's not the end, it's a detour and it's a new beginning...Welcome to me, myself, and I land :-)

Girl, some days are better than others. Remember one thing, you won't appreciate the good days unless you go through the bad. Just surround your self with positive friends and family and keep yourself busy. You can do this baby!

Lol sorry!!!
*****you have came to a great place to help you along the way. You will have your ups and downs and this is where you can find that extra support. This will make you both stronger as an individual and as a couple. Just always share open communication together and do all you can to show your love and support to him. The love you two have will bring you both thru this and it will be so much stronger. You can do this and when you feel like you have reached your breaking point...VENT and get advice here. It helps!! Welcome to PTO and we are all going thru the same thing...just take it one day at a time and know you will have your weak moments and its OKAY to cry! Don't let this stop you from living...just take this time to do things for yourself too and when he comes home you will both be on a better foundation in life.

I plot all kinds of silly little things I want to do with him when he gets out.

Dont dwell on the time you are going to be apart. Just think about how AMAZING things will be when you are together again. Look forward to the new appreciation you guys will have for each other.

It's only been 30 days that we've been apart, but this challenge has already strengthened our relationship. Your husband now has plenty of time to thinks of ways to please you when he gets out.

If you look for the bright side, you will find it.
