How to cope?
Notifications OFF
Hello. Sorry if posting in wrong area, new to the forum. A family member received the knock and has since been charged and just sentenced. No prison time, but on the SOR for possessing images, and I have no idea how to cope with this. We were close before all of this, would've trusted him entirely. I have completely isolated myself because I know friends/our community know about it and I feel utterly overwhelmed being associated with this by being a family member. I feel for my family member in a way, but I also haven't let him see my own children since this all kicked off. How on earth do you go about navigating a situation like this?! Feeling utterly broken.
I dont know if there is a way to cope.. I am absolutely drowning in the pain in all of this. My brother is the offender. Years of inappropriate sexual contact and exchange of images with teens. I am.absolutely horrifed diagusted angry.. Our whole families lives have been turned upside down and we have been thrust into a life of rules and regulations (as he has 2 children).There are fall out all over the place because of this. Word is rapidly spreading through the town. He did the crime but i feel we are doing the time. I actually cannpt believe this is the life we now have. It is beyond devastating. I just feel this cloud is gonna hang over me forever .. i getting through with really good friends.. trying to go to the gym. I just wanted to reach out.
