I just need to let something out this whole experience has been agonizing it has brang more stress in my life than I started withI have had to horrible experiences with penpals and one was with another penpal the inmate wrote to turns out he sends all my letters and pictures to her and she emails me and criticizes what I write and makes threats and discouraging comments. I am going to keep with the 3 consistent penpals and let it play out and if it lasts fine if it doesnt okay I am done I cannot believe something that I thought was so right turned out to be so wrong but thanks to those who have been positive or else I would have left the last 3 ex. Mystic, Arri, QQ, Jewelz and the others I will no longer post either thanks and keep up the writing

I am so sorry to hear about your bad expierence.I probably would have been discouraged too.That is not very nice what your penpal did and even worst what that woman did.
I wish you the best.To bad that you also leave this board.

I`m sorry too. This should be, and can be, a positive and enjoyable experience. The experience you described is awful. I can understand why you are feeling so let down and disappointed. It is a bit of a gamble when we select a person to write, from all the names in the pen pal ads. We don`t know who they are, the same as they don`t know who we are. Sometimes it works out, and other times it doesn`t. You do your best, and thats all you can do.
I really hope your other penfriends can build back some of your trust.
