Your problems solved, with Holly Harper

Dear Holly, I’ve fallen in love with an absolutely wonderful man who is kind and funny and loving. The only issue is that he’s in jail for armed robbery and aggravated assault. We met through one of those prison pen pal schemes, which I got involved with soon after my last relationship went wrong. I’ve always had trouble hanging on to men, but I’ve realised that I won’t face this problem with a convicted criminal. One day a few weeks ago, I sat down and wrote a short letter about myself and next thing I know, I’m in the throes of romance with a lovely, dangerous man called Boycie. Although we’re really happy together, some of my interfering relatives are trying to make me end the relationship and now I am faced with the decision to cut all ties with my family or give up my knight in shining armour. To be honest, it’s not a hard decision to make, but I am worried that it might be hard to shake off some of my younger children. Do you think I’m doing the right thing?GwenManchester
