I really don't know what way to turn!! Just when I think we can start to put this behind us a little and try to have a new normal life, my other half has been in the press again. It's all due to the job he had and now it's been reported again.

When will I stop looking over my shoulder all the time!!

Sorry just have no one to turn too

I'm so sorry lonely. I can't help but you have all my sympathy. I don't think I had ever experienced real anxiety before our first mention in the press, and every time it happens since I feel sick and a knot of pain in my chest, it's awful.



my OH hasn't even reached the plea stage yet and I've had this 3 times now, and there isn't even anything to report, literally just the charges so everyone can just make up their own story to go along with it (a single communication online with a police decoy, he was on an over 18s website and thought he was talking to an adult, just stupid carelessness in not reading his messages fully).




Without the social media this would all have been somewhat bearable, but it just escalates everything so much. I'm sorry you are still experiencing this. It's not your fault and you don't deserve the associated pain.
