Dear Abby: My boyfriend, "Rick," is in prison and has been there for 2 years. He is the father of my 2-year-old son. I got pregnant 3 months into our relationship.
Ten days after our son was born, Rick had to turn himself in for something that happened prior to my getting pregnant. He was sentenced to 5 years. He was supposed to serve only 2 years of it, but another charge caused that to change, and he won't be home for another year and a half.

I'm starting to get confused about our relationship because we barely have one anymore. We never get to see each other or talk.

Every time I have a night out I meet different people, but I feel too guilty to continue with anything. My girlfriends all tell me I need to move on, that I don't deserve this and that I'M the one "in prison." But I really want the perfect family.
