Sentencing was delayed from December and is this coming week. I know it's not helpful looking at what others have got and the guidelines but I can't help myself today. I'm so worried about it. His barrister is certain it'll be non custodial but from this forum I know you can never be 100%.

I know there are others on here that have sentencing this week and I'll be thinking of you all. Every time someone says "Happy New Year", I'm thinking "no, no it isn't".

Hey

I hope you're ok. I know it sounds like rubbish to say but the quicker it comes the quicker it's over we were lucky that ours didn't get postponed and ended up being end of November still been hard since as it was put in one paper so I've been on high alert for a month constantly looking daily incase it's anywhere else. Fingers crossed for you x

Evening loulou74

Sending strength and hugs to you

You will get through this

The anticipation of the not knowing is the worst but at least you will know what you have to deal with

I wish you both strength on the day xx

Loulou I know exactly how you feel we have sentencing at the end of this month and I am terrified.

All indications seem to be that it will be a suspended sentence but we just can't be certain.

My person has done so much to address his behaviour, we have relocated ( planned before all of this) and he has obtained new employment-his barrister has stated that he really couldn't have done any more to make positive changes.

I'm hoping that, since he has moved, the local press where he previously lived will not have any interest in reporting the case.

Wishing you lots of love and strength and that you have a good outcome this really is a crap journey.

Thank you all. I am looking forward to having it all sorted and knowing what we're dealing with but also so worried about the fallout, particularly if it ends up in the media.

Ladies

I was where you were and so were many of these lovely people on here

No matter what the outcome is you will get through it

It dosent make it any easier I know but I just wanted to send my love and pass on my strength to you

Here is whishing the best possible outcome for you all

I like you was petrified, I was in court on my own, I cried, my heart I thought was going to burst, seeing my son on his own behind a glass room knowing I could not hug him and tell him it was going to be ok is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, to listen to the prosecution make him out to be a monster was awful, but then the judge spoke and she was fair

This journey is out of our control, and it is horrendous but you will get through it

Xx

I pray for strength for all of you going through sentencing in the coming weeks. It will be two years next month since my person was sentenced. You will come through the other side, there are many things that we can't control on this journey but this is perhaps the most daunting of them all. The fear of repercussions, custodials and the impact on our people's mental health aswell as our own is immense. I promise that you will look back on this time with such admiration for your own strength. Sending love to you all xxx

Newlady I'll be thinking of you. I hope we both get a good outcome. Our journey has been quite short compared to most on here as he was arrested and charged the same day.

Thinking of you today Newlady and for the coming days. I'll be honest the days after are just as hard. We're dealing with fallout of it being online in all its glory. He's been suspended from work. The good news is that I've had some supportive messages from friends that I hadn't told.

Loulou I hope you're ok. Ours hit media too but a week after I'd been checking daily then bam right there the feeling was worse than sitting in court. Ours as been 4 weeks from media now and nothing since but I'm still constantly checking incase there's more. Hopefully it isn't shared anywhere else xx
