Back when my ex was going through 27 long months of legal issues (from accusation to sentencing), “stress” and “worry” were my middle names. Every single day was filled with thoughts of fear and anxiety for the future and sadness and confusion for the present.

How would I get a lawyer or pay for one good enough? How would I bail my husband out of jail? What would I tell the kids? What does this mean for our job and our home?
