long distance troubles - group home


Question Posted Friday August 25 2006, 4:27 pm

so last week my boyfriend went to a group home in canton and he isnt getting out till the begining of next year. i promised him on our love that id be here waiting for him when he got out. sometimes its soo hard. <b>i dont know what to do that will keep my mind off him so that i can last through this.</b> because i really really wanna stay with him but it hurts. i had a dream last night that he called me and talked to me... and when i woke up i wanted to go back to sleep because i knew that we still havnt found out if he can call me or if i can come see him or anything. i dont know. im confused. im trying to get my friend to ask his p.o (because they have the same one) if i can have his number so i can call and ask him if i can go visit or call my boyfriend. <b>any tips on how to convince him to let me??</b>

I went through the same thing you're going through with my boyfriend. He was away for 6 months and we're still together (that happened over a year and a half ago). I was so worried and didn't know what to expect. His mom really liked me and felt I was a good influence on him, so she had a talk with his p.o. and eventually we were allowed to write each other letters (he could write me once a week, and call me once a week for 10 minutes). I could write him as much as I wanted but I couldn't call him. I'm sure it's different for every place, though. The best suggestion I can give you is to write him whenever you want to talk to him. I kept a big book of all the letters I wrote to my bf and gave them to him once he was allowed to get them. It made him feel really good to know that I cared that much. I wrote him a letter every single day he was away. The first month or two will be the hardest, but it doesn't get easier. The best thing I can tell you to do is to hang out with your friends to get your mind off of everything. I know it's so hard, but you can get through it. If you are on good terms with your bf's parents/guardian then they are probably the only ones that can convence his p.o. to let him have any sort of contact with you. He is probably going through a tough time right now, being away from everyone he knows. When he is allowed to have contact with you, make sure you let him know how much you care about him and that you're there for him. He probably really needs the support right now. Do you know what kind of place he's in? Also, what did he do to get in there? How old is he/ you? I can give you lots of details on what is going to happen if you want to e-mail me this info or talk to me about it online (XBrooklynHeights@aol.com s/n XBrooklynHeights). They are going to evaluate him based on what he did to get in their and give him counseling for it. If he stays on good terms with them and doesn't get in any trouble, they may release him early (unless he has to stay in there a minimun of so many months). He more than likely will have to go to school while he's there and he'll have an opportunity to get his G.E.D. (depending on his age etc.). Please feel free to write me an e-mail if you want to know anything else, or if you just want to talk. I wish you the best of luck and I hope this helps. <3 Dana
