The new moon backs this up with absolute Aquarius self-confidence.

2 weeks agoLatest NewsComments Off on Everyone said to leave my man when he was jailed for 19 years – we married behind bars but had to wait to consummate it
MELODY Lorenzo, 35, works in the public sector and lives in California with her husband Anthony, 36.
“Waiting for the prison bus to arrive, my heart was racing. After 19 years behind bars, my husband was finally coming home.
Melody Lorenzo’s husband Anthony was jailed for 19 years for attempted murder and gang-related offencesAnthony, 36, was released last year, above the couple on a dateMelody, 35, is now pregnant with her first child
Anthony and I met in 2001, when we were 12 and 13. He was my best friend’s cousin and we’d hang out in the park and chat.
We were just kids, but I was drawn to him and we became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Then, in 2005, our young love faced a crisis I couldn’t have imagined. Anthony, then 16, was in a car with a friend who opened fire on a group of gang members. It was a classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Despite the fact he hadn’t pulled the trigger, Anthony was charged with attempted murder and gang-related offences, and was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison.
I was just 15 and deeply shocked that my boyfriend had been caught up in something so dark.
Family and friends said I shouldn’t put my life on hold until his release.
And Anthony told me I needed to walk away, too, but I knew I loved him and that him being behind bars wasn’t going to change how I felt.
Resolving to stay together for as long as it took for him to be released, we kept our relationship alive with daily calls and letters.
As soon as I learned to drive, I’d spend every weekend driving up to 11 hours to visit him. Seeing him in handcuffs behind glass was so painful.
It took him time to adjust to his new ‘home’. He began to focus on improving himself, taking education classes and joining self-help programmes. I was proud of him.
For the first three years, our visits were behind glass with no physical contact. Later, when he moved to a different prison, we were allowed brief contact – just a hug or kiss at the beginning and end of each visit.
Bewildered family and friends couldn’t understand why I was still with him. I didn’t care what people thought, though.
Bewildered family and friends couldn’t understand why I was still with him
I loved him. At the start of 2009, when I was 20, Anthony proposed, and I said yes without hesitation.
It required reams of paperwork to get permission from the state, but on April 11, a registrar officiated the short ceremony in a room in the prison.
I wore a simple white dress, while Anthony had to wear his prison uniform, and we had a few friends as witnesses.
Obviously, it wasn’t the wedding I’d dreamed of, but it wasn’t about having my dream day, it was about solidifying our commitment. When we were pronounced ‘husband and wife’, my heart felt so full.
We were allowed to have a few photos taken, but then I had to go home – there was no party, no consummating our marriage.
However, from then on, we were allowed conjugal visits every few months, where we could be alone and intimate.
Those private moments meant everything and they helped us keep the vows we’d made.
Standing by Anthony all those years was tough in ways nobody I knew could understand.
Prison life is isolating, even for those on the outside. I went to weddings and watched other couples live their lives. But I never considered another relationship.
Finally, in January 2024, after numerous delays and setbacks, Anthony was released. Right up until I saw him stepping off the prison bus, I could scarcely believe it was happening.
I had to wait in my car, but when he opened the door and got inside, we just held one another tightly. I felt like I was dreaming.
Life outside has been a whirlwind of new experiences for Anthony. He’d never used a smartphone, and busy places felt overwhelming at first.
Our journey has been a difficult one, but it has made us stronger and more grateful for every day together
We’ve had to find our own normality and routine as a couple, despite the fact we’ve been married for 15 years.
Now, we’re planning our ‘real’ wedding in Hawaii this April, and I’m pregnant with our first child. After all the years of waiting, it’s surreal to think we’ll soon be parents.
We love to go for walks and talk about the future without the shadow of prison looming over us. Our journey has been a difficult one, but it has made us stronger and more grateful for every day together.”

2 weeks agoLatest NewsComments Off on My son has a chance to get into acting, but I am worried about how he’ll react to rejection
APPRENTICE star and West Ham United vice-chair Karren Brady answers your careers questions.
Here, Karren gives advice to a reader who is worried about how her son might react to rejection in the world of showbusiness – and how it could impact his school work.
Karren Brady gives you career advice
Q) My 14-year-old son has attended a theatre class for the past three years, and it has recently brought on board a talent agency to professionally represent those who successfully audition.
The financial gains that could come from him getting industry work are very attractive, and it would look good on his CV (he’s keen to pursue acting as a career), but I’m worried about the rejection he may face, as well as trying to balance auditions with school.
How do I know if it’s right for him?
I worry by not putting him forward, he’ll be at a disadvantage in a competitive industry. Laura, via email
A) First, try not to focus too much on the potential financial gains, as tempting as that may be.
While this opportunity could set your son up for the future, it’s important to prioritise his wellbeing and development at his young age.
Start by having a conversation with him about how he feels. As parents, it’s natural for us to want to encourage our kids to pursue opportunities, but it’s equally important that we ensure it’s something they truly want.
Rejection is a natural part of the acting world and something he will need to grow comfortable with.
Talk to your son about how he might handle it to gauge his resilience, while reassuring him that he has a strong support system in you and your family.
Speak to the drama class teacher to see what support they offer students, plus keep his school informed – they may be able to provide help, such as homework extensions.
Balancing auditions with schoolwork will be a challenge, but it can be managed with planning.
Remember that you know your son best, so keep a conversation open with him so he knows he can confide in you.
