Dear Annie: My husband is in prison. I don’t want to get into the details about why he is there. It’s mostly for context. My mother-in-law has told me that him being gone has affected her more than it has me because she’s his mother and nothing will change that. I can throw him away as my husband, but she can’t throw him away as her son. But I’m navigating life without him, and it’s hard. I was pregnant with our second child when he was arrested. Our older child was 6 years old. We still speak, and we are not divorced.
