want to cry... not sure why

HI everyone,

for those who know what is going on with me and my ABF... he got 18 months in prison... and I went to see him in county jail before they moved him to prison... and that went great... but today I went on line to the state department of corrections site to see if they moved him to prison... and they did... and it hit me really hard... I want to cry but I am at work and I am trying to stay strong...

Why???? why did this hit me so hard???? not like I didn't know it was going to happen...

So what if you're at work? Let it out. Maybe go out to the car or something. Sounds like you have something to cry about.

It's okay to be human, even at work.

It is so hard I know!!!!! And Just had it right! Go to the bathroom and take your make up!


HUGS AND PRAYERS,
Pamm

and if the boss gets at you kick him in the stuff really hard and ask if that made him want to cry and tell him you just let it out!

{hugs} You will get through this. Allow yourself to feel and acknowledge all the emotions that come your way. If you need to, take the day off and cry. You'll feel better afterwards I bet.

Have a cry! I have blubbed quite a few times in work over the last few months. I approached my manager and told her I was having difficulties at home, she was so supportive and told me that when ever I needed to I could take myself off to the tea room or a private area.

gentle hugs to you as you deal with the emotions brought on by your abf's imprisonment. I don't think anyone else is surprised that it hit you hard. Sometimes things just hit you when they hit you. It's like it finally sinks in and wham. It's ok to cry.

I cried all the time at work when my break-up with my xabf first happened. I probably went through a tube of mascara the first week. I say run to the bathroom...with the mascara! People at work understand more than you think (((mec)))

If prison gets him sober it will have been a necessary road...

Thank you all for the help... I did leave the office at the end of the day and went in my car and cryed all the way home. Then when I was home I was making dinner and the phone rang... it was my ABF calling from prison... I am so happy to hear from him and it was like a god sent that he called me... he said that he was thinking about me all day and I was happy to hear his voice...

Thanks again everyone...
