Been here sinse July 2024. My person's plea tomorrow and expected to be sentenced a few weeks later. I am somewhat relieved the waiting and unknown if finally over. But still very worried about possible media coverage at sentencing and him not getting a suspended sentence. Possession/distributing of 14 cat A. Can only hope for the best

Hi Lonely, you will get through this ! Try and be strong for just a while longer. Everything you dread and worry about may not happen, just try and deal with things one at time and cross every bridge as it comes along.

Bad press was something I particularly dreaded and dealing with the aftermath scared me witless. We are 2 weeks post-sentencing now and as far as I can tell it's only caught the attention of one local rag, although I am still being vigilant .

its really strange because I spent so much time (3.5yrs) in total disbelief at the mess we were in with my Son and now I am in disbelief that we have finally come up for air and reached the other side. I will be thinking about you and hoping for the best possible outcome xx

Very similar situation to us Winnie, except it was my OH. We waited just over 3.5 years then had sentencing 17 days ago. We too spent over 3.5 years wondering how the heck we as a family were going to escape this mess, and was terrified about the media getting involved, but we too think we have escaped it. No one in court and no reports. My worst fears are slowly subsiding. I can breathe again.
Apparently only 10% of these cases are reported, because there are so many sadly.
Lonely, good luck this week and stay strong, hang in there, we are all thinking of you. You can do this, and your worst fears may not come true. There IS light at the end of your very long and dark tunnel Xx
