Will it ever end?

OH was arrested just over a year ago, for sexual communication with an undercover police officer posing as a teenage boy.

Fast forward six months and our teenage son makes a disclosure of sexual abuse by OH which he subequently pleads guilty to. I found out at the Plea Hearing that not only had OH been abusing him but had taken photos and videos of himself doing it and shared these with others. His phone was apparently full of indecent photos and videos of children, which he'd been "trading" with other peadophiles online. It's horrendous, absolutely horrendous.

It seems like every few weeks, more stuff comes to light which throws me into a whirlwind of emotions again. I'm preparing myself for the fact that there may well be further information I wasn't aware of mentioned at his Sentencing Hearing next month and I wonder if it'll all ever end ...

Meanwhile, I've suddenly become a single parent, managing all that entails along with all the stuff I've learnt about the person I'd spent the last 25 years with.

How do we ever move on??

I'm so incredibly sorry that you’re going through this. I don't have the words to adequately express how sad I am for you and your son. Sending love and support to surround you for sentencing next month xxx

So sorry to read the story about you and your son, this is truly awful.

I hope the justice system gives him the proper sentence for this awful crime and not just a slap on the wrist like a lot of cases.



Sending you all my love and support at this horrendous time xx
