jail time...long story

[heatherbelle01]

So my hubby and I got pulled over back in May and he didn't stop right away. The cop took him in and charged him with felony evading. They DA was trying to give him 3-10 years. Thank god we got a lawyer and he got it reduced and my hubby only has to do 3 months. He starts his 3 months next Friday. I'm 9 weeks going on 10 weeks with twins and we have a 6 year old son. We have been together 8 years and have never spent this much time apart. I get so upset when I think about the time he is gonna be gone and not be here to watch our twins grow and be with me at my appointments. I know it's only 3 months but is anyone else in a similar situation and how do you deal with your hubby's absence? I don't know how I am going to deal with him being gone because he takes really good care of me and our son. I guess I'm afraid to go through this 3 months alone and take care off our son alone. Any advice is appreciated!

2jojo- yes that's what I said. Thank god he doesn't have to do the 3-10 years. Thanks for the uplifting encouragement!

Don't worrie, although it's during your pregnancy, it's only three months compared to the  amount of years they were going to give him. Time will pass quick and before you know it he will be back with you and your little angels.

Thanks ladies for the advice! That's a good idea to get a journal. I'm gonna do that. Yeah and the lawyer told us the county jail is over crowded so I'm hoping he'll get out sooner. And yeah I told him he better behave in there! You ladies are making me feel way better about this situation! Thanks for taking your time and reading my post.

Yea if he's good & behaves and listens to what he's told to do and not get in any fights or commits a crime while in there. He'll get out sooner they're more lenient on the good ones.

my fiance and I are in a similar situation only he has 3years of probation and it's half over but we've been living together for a year and we haven't spent much time apart .... only during work.... and he might have to go for 3 months too because his ex is lying to probation just because he won't let her move in with us you just need to relax and get a notebook for a journal and write all the stuff your doing while he's gone bug do it in a letter form to him so when he gets out he can read everything and date everything it's a fun thing to do while you tso are apart and if they let him ask him if he wants to do it too! ^_^ it's a great way to pass the time

My guess is he won't do all 3months.

Thanks ladies!  I really appreciate it. I hope it goes by super fast. I just freaks me out to know he won't be here.

I was pregnant when he left but we did have a 6 month old. He left for three months as well. But I promise its not as bad as it sounds and will be over before you know. And just think your appointments right now should be a month apart that should help make it go by quicker. Just remember he has to do this or he'll be gone for longer like years. Then you'd really be upset. It's really not that baf. You have a 6 year old and your pregnant. You're going to be to busy.

Bump, sorry I'm not in the same situation as you but I wish you the very best, just do your best on raising your son and carrying your twins and your hubby will be back in time to be there for the most important parts I hope... Good luck
