Sending a virtual hug to you x

Thinking of you hunny. I will be a year for us tomorrow. Those first couple of weeks I didn't know how to get through each day but we do... A day and a step at a time. Try to slow your brain down and get all the support you can. All of those big decisions we may have to make are not for now... We have plenty of time.

Take care of yourself hunny xxxx

we are 12 months in and remember the knock like yesterday.

it's the worse thing you will go through or one of the worse.

it will get harder before it gets better.

but you have to take day by day.



this is going to take a while to get you through courts etc. The not knowing and waiting is prob the hardest.

what was your husband charged with?!

oh and expect to be lied to about charges and details I found out the real story when I read it in the paper.

it does get easier. . Eventually.

I think many people will downplay their actions, so I agree you have to expect some minimisation. But I wouldn't rely on what the papers say. I saw all the court papers and sat through the hearings, and the papers added some extra things that were completely untrue. Making it sound even worst than reality. If it wasn't for extra the publicity I would recommending suing for liable. Even the summary of the forensic evidence that the police officer wrote, and was read by the prosecution, had some rather dubious conclusions. How the word "search" was used, wasn't backed up for the forensic report at all. I'm just noting be aware that both the accused and the prosecution have their own biases, I wouldn't trust either 100%. But I came out of this process rather shocked about our criminal justice system, and how little safeguards there are.
