Welcome Laurie. You will find support here.
Hi Laurie, I sent you a friend request that way we can email each other. Also if you click on the 3 lines at the upper right side on the home page there's a section titled "forum" there you can put in a subject & type whatever it is you want to talk about. It's nice. I usually get emails when someone adds comments there cause I guess I agreed to get them. It's a nice option for me in case I don't check the MISS website. No, you aren't alone, I know it feels that way. Do you have family that are supportive? I have my husband he's very good about this & he's not even my son's father. My sister is really good. She's had experience with the system with a housemate I guess you'd call him. He was incarcerated a few times. It's scary when it's new & you haven't gotten a clue. That's why this group is very important. I hope you will make some friends here. Support is vital to surviving this journey.

Welcome Laurie, I'm sorry for the circumstances that brought you here, I'm glad you found this group. I hope you will be able to find some peace & support here.
