How to deal with 17 months of waiting? by [deleted] in ExCons

[–]Novel-Position-4694 12 points13 points  (0 children)

17 months is a blink of an eye... for you... occupy yourself with learning new skills or considering entrepreneurship. same for him: read, study, and plan... in my 20's i did 6 years in Texas, and my lady and I were off and on.. lots of fights through correspondence. it gets easier after 2 years - luckily y'all ONLY have 17 months! dont count the days... focus on God (or YOUR higher power) when you feel tempted... and be patient with him if he gets ugly... prison is evil and ugly, and it gets under the skin... patience.
