I get called a fool for taking my baby to prison to visit her Dad. I know what he's done is not acceptable, but on one hand I'm encouraged to visit him by organisations etc, and on the other hand I'm being slagged off by my family for going visiting him. Prisoners families are often told how important it is to maintain family ties and if possible, try to stay in contact as much as you can. But that doesn't make it easier if you have a family like mine who are totally against me visiting him with our daughter. I feel alone and don't know where to look for support because the only person who is really talking to me is my partner in prison at the moment. Is there any direction you can point me in please?

Hi Deena.. I know how you feel because my family aren't supportive of me visiting my partner in prison. It's a difficult one to call as you say, because we are in fact encouraged by organisations and even the Government to try and maintain ties with our loved ones in prison as part of reducing re-offending. What they fail to realise is, at what cost?

ReplyDeleteHey Deena. I know pretty much what u r going through hun xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletei understand totally wat your goin through. I had to look at the bigger picture to help me decide. I had no ties to my partner except love. An to be fair our relationship was breaking down just before his arrest. Due to his anger, securities and lies, and i knew he wasn't goin to learn or change. So walking away from him was my best option as im only 25. It was heart breaking an not a day goes by when i don't miss him. My choice was made coz it was best for me. You need to put yourself first an do what is best for You. Hope this helps in anyway x
