Separation is so hard

You marry for love.

You marry to share your life with someone.

I am happy that my husband has moved to Cat D yesterday. It will be much better for him.

However, the realisation that my husband is now over 100 miles away from me and the boys, is very tough.

I’ve been fortunate for the past 9 months that he has been 15, then 30 minutes drive away.

Now he is around 2.5 hours drive each way.

I haven’t heard from him since a brief call yesterday. He had called earlier but I was out on work visits so I missed it. Now I have no idea why he hasn’t called.

We have been together for over 22 years, married for 20. We have 2 children together and yet we haven’t lived together for almost 2 years.

That day of the arrest has forced me apart from my husband and forced our little family apart.

Despite all of these years together, I feel like in some ways our relationship has gone backwards. I am sitting here waiting to see when he will call again.

I understand he must be punished for his crime.

However, me and the kids are being punished every day too.

Being separated by imprisonment is extremely tough.
