I have just had a phonecall from the DC investigating my husbands ands case. They are returning my laptop tomorrow. He did ask if I could supply a statement, I had offered a while ago to which they declined. Since then my husbands barrister has asked me for a statement about my husband to which I have agreed. I have filed for divorce but do not have an issue providing a statement highlighting how my husband had become I increasingly anxious and depressed. Just feel a bit shook up after speaking to police brings it all back.

I did a character reference for a friend's husband (he was cleared of a historic charge), I didnt realise that I could have been called to read my statement and answer questions in court, but luckily that didnt happen. The statement for the Police will be prosecution and statement for his barrister will be defence so they are different. Either way be prepared for them to call you into Court. You really don't have to do it and you must choose what is best for you. Take care of you.

Hi guys,



thank you for your replies. I have just emailed my character reference off. So much emotion doing that and just so so sad. On reflection I can see his mental health decline its
just horrific.

Just feeling so done with this all, my heart is so heavy xx
