Hi there DD, so sorry you are in this terrible position, my now ex husband is a 2 x offender, and at the 2nd offence I hand to make the decision to walk away, that was in 2018 when we were 24 yrs married, our 2 boys only the oldest one has made contact and seen his dad, since then, the younger one, hasn't seen or spoken to him since April 2018. I do see my ex regularly, however it's as a friend only. Walking away from our marriage was so hard, but it was the best thing for me and my boys, who are both now adults, I live in Scotland and after his 1st offence had to move towns, as it was just so awful the reaction from others towards me and the boys, luckily 2nd time we had no problems, I was worried we would as the boys were very settled in school / college, I don't have any grand children yet, but would absolutely hate if I had and couldn't see them xx

Hi DD



I completely understand how you feel. My ex did this crime in 2017 met me in 2019 and unbeknown to me or anyone else he was wanted for it by the police under investigation. Yet continued to get into a relationship with me and never disclosed it. So I totally can relate to your pain, anger and upset at him being so cruel. It's definately scarred me for life and I totally feel the same how will you ever trust again but we must in the sense to be able to find peace and move forward.

Whilst I am lucky in the sense I didn't have children to him I feel truelly lucky I can make a clean break from him.

My heart breaks for you as you have a difficult choice to make and your home is up for scrutiny and that is so bloody dam unfair. I really feel for you that your son has turned his back on you. I really hope in time that time heals for all involved and you can rebuild a better life, and find some happiness.



Sending you my love and sorry to see your post only getting acknowledged today. That is frustrating.
