Sentencing is coming up in middle of this month.

I am petrified everyone seems so positive but I'm scared I'm going to be raising the kids alone.

The only positive I am taking is his VISOR officer is already talking as if he isn't going to prison. The SS has closed the case and almost basically said they weren't concerned.

His QC is saying its borderline in law but with his mitigating and his guilty plea reduction and the reduction for it not being a real person it is swinging more in our favour than prison.

We are lucky as our court hearing is out of area so hoping it won't be mentioned in press locally. And the police are being supportive with also not providing any information to press.

But I am just scared my sleep has decreased my anxiety has increased and I just don't know whether to look at positives or keep focusing on him going to prison.

One communication with a police decoy. Apparently he arranged to meet because the police decoy said time and date and kept messaging him and then he went yes maybe and that arranging to meet. Tried to get CPS to take it off but they said no.

He has 8 character references.

Read the books

Been with a counsellor since arrest who has now retired but he is going to priory. He also has two psych report one who said that prison would not be beneficial for him as it would all but destroy the progress he has made with his mental health.

He has me monitoring his phone via an app.

Been diagnosed with complex PTSD, child attachment disorder which is now adult attachment disorder, moderate anxiety and severe depression.

Has done the NSPCC course and currently completing a level 2 safeguarding course himself.

He hasn't has PSR yet that is this week coming. Then sentencing the week after.

I am so scared I am going to lose him.
