sure it definitely depends on where you live and if theres any other news, my partners plea hearing came online the next day. Then when he was sentenced it came out about 5 days later going into sordid details of the case, it was torture wondering if and when it would come out, then a week after that article the paper added his photo to the same article obviously just to drum up more publicity and rub salt in the wound.

i must say though it was the not knowing if it would come out that was the worst feeling, on edge all the time, now over a month has past and I feel I can relax, who knows knows and it's starting to feel like old news.

hi everyone

so my son is being charged on wednesday, the DI has told me he has to be strong so that he is not held on remand, i am concerned that the court is 5 mins away from where i live, i can not have my address published as i live in a bad place where guns are the norm, if my address is in the media we are dead

This is my worry to but Jake, oh my goodness, my heart goes out to you.

its bad enough the thought of what people will say, but guns. That's another level. I'm on mumsnet under Luxylux if you want to chat. I'm chatting to another mum on there and it's helping me no end. Sending love xx

It's so scary to think they can't print all this information, how did the court case go?
hope it went as best as could be.
how do people connect with others on mumsnet? I don't have a clue!

Hi Devastated and Jake. I signed into mumsnet and a lovely mum just messaged me, my name on there is Luxylux if you can find me I'm more than happy to chat. Someone on here helped me get on but I can't for the life of me remember who it was. Jake my heart goes out to you, please let us know how you are doing and what happens. Xx

Hi Jake, I'm on Mumsnet too talking to another mum and wife. My user name is Neive.

I can honestly say it is life saving talking about our experiances. Pleave give it a go. Down load mumsnet but make sure you dont post on the open forum. If I remember righty there is a link on the top right hand corner for contacting people privately.

Hi jake, I have been following the forum since October but haven't shared my story. I am a mum who is 5 years in and my son re-offended last year , not Iioc like first time but a comment on a social media platform which broke his conditions. He is 7 months into a 18 month prison sentence. He will be out in 8 weeks then do another 9 months on licence. I have been through this heartbreak and process twice and wonder how I'm still here. Your post touched me. I have been talking to Luxy on mumsnet and if I can help in anyway, I will. That goes for any other mums too. I am VanVan63 on mumsnet or I can help on here now that I've had the courage to post. lots of love to all you ladies on here
