DEAR ABBY: Is it possible to be in love with someone who is incarcerated? -- ROMANTIC IN TEXAS
DEAR ROMANTIC: Yes. However, it depends upon the length of the relationship and whether you met the person before he or she was incarcerated. If you knew the person before, it is possible. However, if your relationship began while he or she was serving time, it is extremely important that you verify anything you are being told and refrain from sending the person money.
