Vickie, so sorry to read this. The prisoners families organisation has a helpline, I don't know if they would be able to help in this situation but it might be worth giving them a call if you don't manage to make contact with him.

Yes hun he is cause tried bailing him and had no address to go to and he was worried he would get a prison sentence so he said he would stay where he was as he was guilty and wanted to be punished for his crime,,

Thank u lee

Yes it has defo made me see him in a different light and want to defo make it and like u said we have had lots of battles in the 10 years and means lots that most men would of walked away from,,

When I had my darks moments he was there to pick me up and carry me thro,, now its my turn we are very strong together and I now feel we are becoming stronger apart and will be even stronger once we on the other side of this,,

Yes we might not be able to do all the things we plan but as long as I have my family that's all that matters to me xxx

Thank u again Lee for inspiring me again x x

Just like my kids it's emotion that God I did not think I would ever feel so strongly for someone and cause I of My passed trauma but I have thro learnt life is for living and not not in the passed our relationship has been very hard because of other things and stressful but he is the one I want and that's it does that make sense xxx

Hi Vickie

I did a character reference for the crown court for my partner. Is that what you mean? He's not been sentenced yet so I don't know how it will help but his solicitors say that they will have some weight to them.

This is the suggested questions my partner was asked to pass on to whoever he wanted to do a reference.



Where it says 'you' it referenced to the offender

How long they have known you

How they know you

What opinion they have of you? Whether the offending behaviour was typical of you or out of character

Whether they know of any difficulties in your background that might have affected your behaviour.

Whether they have seen any changes or improvements in your life since the offence.

Hope that helps. There is no word limit.

I only asked about the medical history because he has depression and has amited to not taking his medication and he always normal did but when locked came in to force's I was called into work more because of being a support worker and key worker so he was left at home more and I was not checking if he was taking them because I had more to deal with and he was dealing with everything at home with the kids I am not saying this is a reason but what he has said and the things I have thro about it makes sense,,

I think xx

OK Lee

Should be able to do that thro the doctor,,

The prison know hes on antidresspions and eplicpilsy medication tto so does his solicitor,,

Like I said I am not using it to say this is what defo is the case but from what he has said and what I have seen I believe both of us have been under a lot of stress and not dealt with it and I do think this has added to it and I just wounded whether it's worth putting it in like about my job and lock down and this is what I believe has happened,,

And I do understand more than most how important family support counts in case like ours because of my job being a support worker of individual of mental health and forensic histories but this is what the social has tried using against me,,

The thing that hurts is that in my line of work u are given a lot of training and learn how to understand and how to try and help individuals from reafending but now I see why a lot of people don't like ss and get very worried about them to,,

I don't think she even finish her report and have not heard from her since Xmas and at moment can't get thro to the office x

Well just got off the phone to ss and think we are starting to turn corners I explained I wanted all information and that I understand the risk of his crime but I also believe that there is medagating facts in play yes he a adult and we learn from what we have done but also he has to have the chance to show he has change,, I explained he wants help,, that I am talking to stop it now help line and on here that I want to do the course and so does he,, I am happy to go under a child protection plan and getting all the information I can she said she still has concerns but like I said I only can put into place to protect I can rewrite the past can only go forward and she then said she going to speak to her manager and doing a team meeting and said ok,, so I think we turning a corner,, but again she still said about her personal view again,,

What do u think lee,, do u think I am getting my hopes u

Like said to Lee yes I do understand it and that why me and my partner are talking and we have agreed for now that he is not going to come home straight away and we are going to start with phone calls with the kids after he has been to court and see what court sentencing is,,, yes like I always said he's done wrong but my kids have not why should they lose their dad he has work to do and he knows that and understand that,, same as he want to be the one to tell his daughter why he is not at home with us and to give her all the fact when she the right age to make the right decision for her,,

I like I start I always wanted to do this the safety's of ways and to protect my kids to the fullest I can xxx

Hi Vickie and Lee

how are u both doing? I hope ur well

since being ill I struggle with energy and everything. Still waiting to hear what my partners going to be charged with. He’s now on the council emergency housing list which makes it a but easier for me as he was staying with a member of my family and I felt guilty for putting them in that situation. I know he has to apply for available properties and it all depends on if someone who is higher priority than him applies for it then he won’t get it. I miss him I don’t want to live with him or be intimate with him but I miss hanging out with him and doing normal family stuff.

Hi Vickie

mid love to hang out and do family things but social services have said he’s not allowed to see the kids still he’s not allowed at the family home either. Covid makes it hard for us to go anywhere else too. They are supposed to be doing assessments on my partner but it’s a slow process. I want them to hurry up so he can see his son I know they miss each other and to spend some time is all together.

I hope ur feeling better soon. How are u doing? Stay safe and warm x

Hi Vickie

How are you doing? I’m trying to juggle work and school. As a key worker my kids can attend school but youngest has morning sessions ( was supposed to be all day but they are not getting on well with each other) I begged for afternoons as they suit my work but it didn’t happen. I think works sick of me and all this par-larva and how what my partner has done has affected my health, mental health, home life and work life.

My new social worker knows hardly anything about my case it’s like I’m back at the beginning with it all.

Stay safe and keep well x

Hi rusty

Today has been a really hard day ss rang and I fell into the trap she was like u OK and how u been got ur child protection plan,,, I was like yea we are OK kids OK,, then I said that I was told that in the conversation he was having he brought my daughter into it and said he had feeling for her and didn't know if he would act on them,, I then tried explain that I had asked him again and he said no it made him feel sick,, but as I am talking she talking over me that people don't just wake up one morning and do this,, the feelings are there toward her or are not,, she then went on to say she had big concerns,, if he was remorsful in any way then why did he not tell me the night he did it or report it to the police,, then I tried saying he was not on his medication and thinking straight cause thats what he's mental health worker said then she was like nope sorry medication for despession is not going to make u think like that,, then it was like I got to go I have a meeting and I try and ring later if not tomorrow cause I have got to do ur assessment that it and put the phone down,.

I just feel like she not listening and always giving me her opinion,, she not given me any advice on what to do by the fact I am depressed and need tablets blow her out the water when I told her I am already on them,,,

Like who's going to running around singing when this is all going on and aspecial lot Xmas as well.
