I was actually in prison for the entirety of COVID. I started my trip through DOC a few months before the first bit of news about it ever started to come out and by the time I had gotten out again it was over.
Personally? I changed for the better, in prison. I'll admit certain things about it changed me negatively but I was very blessed by God throughout in terms of finding direction to be better.
Sometimes, I wish I could recreate that experience. At least the parts where I was able to change for the better, idk. I feel like the realities of my family situation have taken all that away from me, because trying to rebuild it was part of it.
I was really bad off by then. Most of my kids were still in the womb at the time. I blamed myself for all the problems in my marriage. But as a sober man I saw lots of things wrong with her I didn't see before. Then I found out how she was living while I was locked up (basically being a bum off my in-laws, abusing prescription meds) and I think the easiest way to say it is that I outgrew this relationship. Trouble is I had a permanent responsibility to it in the form of my kids.
