I posted not long ago about having called the police after discovering concerning things on my person's device, and me carrying guilt for potentially blowing up our world / overreacting.



For reasons I can't go into, the forensic searches of seized devices were expedited very quickly.



Many images have been discovered, and I recently had to go through the nightmare of formally identifying my daughter in images (my persoms pre-teen step daughter that he has brought up since age three). Family and everyday normal photos that have been artificially doctored to make indecent.



I am devastated. Absolutely devastated to the point of insanity. My instincts that day served me well but I wish they had kicked in sooner! He was a NICE person!! An absolute upstanding, law enforcing, parent himself who would do anything for anyone. He would berate me for having songs on in the car with the kids if there was swear words in it. He would actively make a big deal about my daughter needing to cover up when she was little, even disapproved of her wearing belly tops as she got older. He made a big song and dance when any tv programmes or news reports came out about men doing this type of thing. He had A LOT to lose!!



I will never doubt my instincts again. Never ignore that voice. And certainly never believe any man ever again because my god, if he can wear a mask and put on a front like that, then any of them can, will and do!! They groom, lie and manipulate to such a high degree how do we ever stand a chance of keeping children away from this?



I cannot wait to get me and the kids past this and start over on our own. I want to breathe easily again! We deserve better!
