Hi all,

man having a bad Sunday. Our knock came at the end of March and my husband is rui. He is at home living with and the 3 children as he tried after his arrest to commit suicide twice.
the last 4 months have been the hardest of my life. I have allowed him to stay as I Hagar no one else to help with child care duties and I am desperate to keep my children's life as normal as possible for as long as possible. However, I am suffering. We were such a sociable normal happy family nd now that has all Beene taken away overnight. I told him so this afternoon. I have numerous invites to weddings and BBQs where ordinarily I would be jumping at the chance, people are asking if I am ok because I am holding back with my replies. I told my husband that he has ruined my life and the children's but if he thinks he is bringing me down with him he can think again. He looks so lost and I hate what this porn addiction has done to him but it is it just me and him that need to navigate through this we have 2 children and I have to do what's right for them. I felt terrible as he looked really shocked but at the same time I don't see why I should be biting my tongue. I am not the one that has landed us in this mess. Please tell me someone feels the same, really hard done by and cross!

You're definitely not alone. I feel as though I'm caught up in a drama that's not of my making. Your experience sounds really tough, I hope it gets easier

Starry,

We 3 years since the knock we have had the court but we are now struggling with ss being cpp and I still lose it at my hubby because it's all his fault, and to be fair he takes wat I throw at him even though he doesn't always deserve it but we/I wouldn't be struggling if it wasn't for wat he did, so don't feel bad for telling him how u feel.

Susie65, u r no a bad wife u obviously opened up to him about ur past he should of done the same, so DON'T U DARE say u r a bad wife u can't help if he doesn't tell u, like the rest of us u have done the best any of us can do in this situation xxxx



Sending love & hugs to u both xxxxx

Hi Starry,

I feel exactly the same. Before 'the knock' I was the most placid, easy going person with so much patience..... This whole experienced has changed me as s person. I have very little tolerance for anything now (especially my husband). It upsets me so much that through no fault of my own I am an angry, bitter and utterly miserable person. I am still with my husband and I try so hard to 'carry on as normal' but until he knows if he is being charged it is a constant ache in my heart.
