My ex-husband is currently serving prison time for drug possession and skipping out on his court appearances. I left him a year ago and filed for divorce after finding out for the upteenth time that he was hiding a drug addiction from me. I took our two small children and left, and have since been living a much better, more peaceful life, and I'm now in school for nursing. He will be serving time until sometime next year. He has been writing me letters, and I am a bit nervous about his frame of mind; in several of the letters he has mentioned being "not happy" about the thought of me being with another man, even though we are already divorced. The truth is, while I am currently not dating anyone, I have dated a couple of men this past year while we were separated I have dated two men....I also have been writing him letters back (though only a few compared to his 20+ letters he has sent me) and usually I just try to let him know how the kids are doing. He writes about how terribly he misses them, and I feel sorry enough for him that I at least try to let him know that the kids miss him, and though I realize its probably stupid, I also let him know that I do still love him. However, I am a bit concerned about what will happen once he gets back out...I'm hoping he will not come after me for revenge or something like that. When we were together, he did offhandedly threaten about not liking the idea of me being with another man, and even in these letters, continues to bring that up. I'm really a bit afraid of him---he is unpredictable, and capable of being violent when on drugs. What should I do to prepare?
Scared and wanting to prepare for ex-husband's release from jail?
