Hubby was arrested last week for chatting to a boy online, questioned & bailed to home address, until may.

Its his first offence. He admitted everything, but My whole life has been turned upside down.

Totally blindsided wen cops knocked on my door!

What do i do now?? So much anger & tears.

S/s are involved as we have grandchildren.

Hi I'm so sorry this has happened to you. It is awful and turns your whole work upside down questioning everything. Just take your time and take it day by day. Use the forum here as it is good and also the telephone line when you are ready. I haven't yet as I'm not ready to speak about it to strangers as such but I believe it's helpful. I'm 6 weeks post knock and with having two kids SS involved. They have seen their dad once since it happened it a long emotional road from what can gather and feels like your held will explode some days. Just remember though that you haven't done anything wrong. Big hugs

It is still early days. So take your time. It is a lot to take in. I highly recommend getting on the inform course. It is great! You learn so much about why particularly men do these crimes. You may have to wait a couple of months to do the course but I really do recommend it. I am glad I did it. He should also do the course. Offenders have to pay but its good for them to do it too.

My husband didnt do communication offenses he pocession and distribution but he like yours didnt deny any of it. I didnt really want to know. I had an 8 month old, deep in depression and seeing no end in site. To be woken up to a knock and being so confused and thinking he had died or something. I didnt really know what to do. What to think or how to act for months so i metaphorically ran. That didnt work so well with SS.... This is why I sat take your time. Its soo much to navigate.



I chose to stay with my husband. His actions to get help and work on himself made me think I could start to trusting him again. If you had told me I would choose to stay with a sex offender a few years back I would have gone NEVER are you insane yet here I am.
