Dissappointed with Support
Notifications OFF
Im just wondering how anyone has found the help line. I am absolutely drowning in what has happened our family. My brother is offender. Years of inappropriate chat and sharing of pictures with teenagers. He was married with 2 kids. I am horrified and disgusted. The ripple effect on his wife family and mine is massive with alot of conflicting opnions and alot of fall out. My mum and I feel the weight of the world on our shoulders and this weeks have both said hurtful things to each other . I am beyond devastated and feel like a death has occured.
I rang the helpline yesterday and just felt the person i talked to was like reading of a script and really only wanted to direct me to the website. I was on the phone for 14 mins, while when my brother rang he seems to be on the phone for like 90 mins a time.
It feels like the offenders families are the forgotten victims. Even when i spoke to the police it was nearly like the officer i spoke to was surprised i was in the state i was in .

Sorry you find yourself here with the rest of us in the club we never wanted to join.
I found the helpline really useful and the support invaluable. The people I have spoken to have been really supportive and helpful and honestly, I don't think I could have got through this nightmare without them.
My DM is open if you need to chat x

I have thought the same. I rarely post anything now - I'm 14 months in from knock (My Son) and I feel that there is very little in way of support for families, the trauma and pain from this has massively affected my mental and physical health and sometimes I've actively thought of suicide as an escape from it. I felt that my online conversation that I reached out for was staged and exact wording in what is usually answered through Chat GPT which I use often. When I sit down and think about it though I know there's not a person on this planet that can make this better or mend my broken heart so maybe I was expecting a miracle - healing starts with yourself I find, I send you all my love ♥
