Hi all

Long time no speak! Getting on with our lives as best we can. Hubby has wonderful probation officers, we have a good social worker. His tag comes off next week and he will have completed all his unpaid work by January!



Our social worker has got funding to have a Lucy faithful risk assessment done on hubby - with the view we can hopefully move towards unsupervised and closing our case.

The referral has gone off today and they have said an 8 week wait (but with Xmas I suspect it may be longer) then a 6 week assessment.



I was wondering if anyone had any experience on the assessment and could share what it was like and what any sort of report may look like?



thanks

Nice to hear from you scaredlamb!
Sorry can't help re your question.
just wondering if I may ask did you have couple counselling or therapy yourself and how you are managing to repair your relationship?
I'm struggling with mine tbh, unsure if we will survive so just interested in how others are getting on with theirs x

Hi!
glad it's going so well for you your family. We are currently waiting for a risk assessment as well, there is a thread on the family section where they are discussed a little bit. I'll bump it up.

Hi Jayjay.

Good to hear from you too.



We haven't had couples counselling or anything like that. As we have never felt we needed it.



For me, my hubby accepted his issues and the damage he caused immediately and started work on himself straight away including therapy.



What we did in the early days was journal for an hour together every night. Then discuss what we wrote and how we felt. Those early discussions massively helped my understanding and helped our communication to the point it's never been better in our 10 years together.



We then welcomed our daughter and we have been strong ever since and probably better than ever.

im sorry if that's not what you want to hear. As it's actually been really easy for us. But I genuinely recommend doing the journal things and starting to build that open communication- two ways! - as I think that was the key.



sending so much love.



GZ - thank you! How long have you been waiting?
