Surprised
Notifications OFF
Today I went to the post office to send my person essentials whilst in prison (first time and dreading it), they post office man asked what he was in for and I just said that I preferred not to say, I was then surprised that he said his son was in the same place and what for and that all deserved a second chance.
I said what it was for because again hunters sting there isn't much point hiding it (I'm owning my crap and dealing with it from now on), and the guy just said very reassuringly that all deserve a second chance, besides it's more than likely that I and my children are suffering more. I could have broken down right there and then.
this man who didn't know me, stood there and reassured me and made me feel like the world wasn't going to swallow me whole everyday. He knew it wasn't my fault and understood how important it is to stay connected to our people "how else are they to be rehabilitated?", I thanked him so much for his kind words and left feeling like I can do this, this isn't so bad.
I know all that sounded a bit weird but to be fair it was for me too. That man had a heart of gold today and made me smile for the first time in months. I hope everyone gets little moments like that too because it really seems to brighten the future just that tiny bit

It's nice to hear of these positive experiences. When I've posted stuff to my person, I've travelled to post offices outside of my town - I thought I was being silly for doing it. I always think people will Google his name.
Recently I subscribed to a magazine for my partner but messed up the address so had to contact them by phone to change ut. They were very kind, but I was also nervous as the office I called was relatively local and I'd given them my home address, it sort of made me nervous.

I still feel nervous giving out my surname. It's quite paranoid - people tend to comment as it's unusual but now I think their curiosity stems from my sons media coverage. Years have passed but I continue to feel uneasy.......
Dear smile through tears,
I understand where you are coming from with regards to your name, there is only 3 people in the entire world with mine as it's a double barrelled name so only my person myself and my son have it. I will be changing my name and my sons name asap but for now they don't need to know that he's my husband, he could be my cousin for all they know. Don't fret about your name chances are it is because it's unusual not because everyone knows.
There are 65 million people living in the uk now depending on how your person was exposed is how many know, mine is via hunters so I'm probably looking at around 10k maximum, that in the grand scheme of things is pretty small odds. Of course I've had a bit of backlash but since I changed my name on Facebook etc I've not had issue.
