My name is Alice Triplett. I am back in Walden House for the sixth time, but I have only been in FOTEP (Female Offender Treatment and Employment Program) two times. So now that I’m back I really need to do work on myself. I need to pull my awareness up on my new relationship. In my past getting in relationships has not been good for me. I always take the focus off of me and put it all on him. The first time I went to Walden House I got in a relationship with a man who was living in the same house. That did not work out because I wound up leaving that program after being there for 11 months. The last time I was here at FOTEP I got in a relationship it turned out to be bad for me too. I’m here in the program again and I was doing well here. Sometimes it gets very hard for me to be without a man in my life. I get lonely, so I need someone to make me feel good because I don’t know how to be alone. I am afraid that it will be hard to find a good man. Sometimes I still have low self-esteem, so I’m still looking for men’s validation, positive or negative. I’m just rushing into bad relationships and that is what gets me into trouble all the time. So now that I have talked about my bad relationships, I hope some day I will have a good and healthy relationship.
