Fathers in prison

[Turboshift]

Hi

I have just registered but read mumsnet for a few years now. I'm married with children and I've found myself in a place where my DH is in prison and it's not the first time in our marriage. We are no longer together and will be divorcing.

My worry is my children and the long term effect this will have on them. I wanted to gain some advice and support from women who have partners in prison and how they cope and what do you tell your children in time?

Also from anyone who has grown up with a parent in prison and how did it affect you?

TIA

I admire your integrity and gritty determination, OP. Your children are blessed to have a mother that has managed so much.

I'm so pleased you're able to see above and over what he has done, however painful that may be.

It is always harder for the ones left behind. To come to terms with the past and build a new future.

The very best to you and your children.
