My boyfriend was recently sentenced to more than a year in prison for stuff he did some time back (fighting and such). I've been so depressed since then. I cry everytime i look at pictures we took together. I've never missed anyone so much in my life. The worst part...he didn't know how to tell me that he wld be going in soon...but i found out soon after. and my parents, who have always been against him because of his bad past wld probably totally ban me from having anything to do with him if they found out. I feel so alone and i can't bear to let him go but i know my parents might not accept him in the future. sometimes i think that perhaps suicide is the only way to end this pain.[/b]
First thing: It's only a farking year plus and come and think of it its isn't that long

*Breathes in*
Suicide?
If I was your parents I will ban you, not because he went jail but
because of your inmaturity to handle your own relationship and I would have thought that this influence comes from him.Please lar, love CANNOT perform miracle for you - you can only make use your deep feelings for him to create miracle with your bare hands using your intellect. And now I will teach you how to create this possible miracle.

You are sad because he is locked behind bars and couldn't accompany, talk or even SMS you anymore. However, the positive side is that this is a couple's karmic lesson for you both to undergo and if you humble yourself, acknowledge this test and face the challenges, you won half the battle. Please note that this test will bring your relationship into new heights because after this phrase of his life - there will be changes and this changes will mould and evolve the both of you.

Handle inner cycle first (Internal environment): When you could see him in jail and if it is possible to pass him letter or note, do write up something and give him. Of course, in the midst of all these emotional words that you will sure to write - your content throughout this year plus has to be one constant message -
CHANGE FOR THE SAKE OF THIS RELATIONSHIP. If his temper is bad, he has to change. People tries to pick a fight? Learn to smile and walk off. People stare? Look on the floor.
He has to learn emotional control. Worst still - if his friends were a bunch of people always implicated into fights - avoid hanging out with them.
With constant psychological reinforcement of encouragement, new drive of goals and psychological/emotional rebirth - this relationship will grow and foster from this test. In jail, he has tons of time to spend on thinking and pondering - he will read and re-read your letters. Your strong, firm faith in overcoming odds and to change him will succeed if he truely loves you and his focus becomes long term (this relationship) and not short term (by his temper).

He has to change because you want your parents to know that you didn't make a wrong choice.
What about you? You shall learn the beauty of devotion and encouragement to your love. If this year shall be a year of many suitors, so where does your love lies? In this bleak hours of his life, where will your strength in him lies?

P.S:
If you shield the canyon from the wind, you will never see the beauty of their craving. Relationship test - do you have the strength to leap to the next level? Or do you cry and succumb?
Cheers
