Only being 3 weeks in i honestly dont know what i would do if i didnt have soneonento talk to who genuinely understands what i am going through. People can say they understand and knownbut the truth is unless you have been in this situation i dont think you can possibly comprehend all the emotions that run through your head at one time. I for one am thankfull for all the support and avice i have already recieved and knowing that i can continue to talk to people as this nightmare situation gets further down the line is reassuring. This is the only place i can talk openly and honestly knowing i will not be judged. Thankyou to everyone involved it really does make a difference. It has given me hope and positivty and courage to know i will get through this nightmare situation and to know i will come out a stronger women the other end xx
This forum has been a huge support during some very traumatic times. Both discovering my husbands offending and the fall out with his mental health, job loss and loss of his own dignity and self worth. It’s been deeply painful experiencing this. I am now a single mum and I hope doing well. The ladies and a few gentlemen on the forum have seen me through some tough times and always are emotionally encouraging.
The forum has provided excellent emotional support and practical advice. Some posts make me cry and others laugh. It’s been a huge help and I am sure it will continue to be. The knock isn’t one event but a series of experiences such as waiting for the police and court and then living our lives afterwards. Thanks Lucy faithful for providing the ability to bring our community together.

Today marks 11 weeks for me. I found this forum after about a week and I can honestly say I don't know how I would have coped without it. I've told very few people of the situation, and I've not told ANYONE the full extent of the situation, but I can do that here and I know that nobody sees it as a reflection of me. There's a real shame to telling people what's happening, but not here. Here we can share our thoughts, feelings and grief. Thank you for setting up this forum. It's one of the few things keeping me going.
I've been on the forum almost since it was first started. In the beginning it was such an isolating situation and places to turn to for help and support are so limited for partners/family members. I never imagined I would post on a forum about anything but it has been a huge source of support and also to be able to offer advice and support to others as really helped me get through what was one of the hardest moments of my life. I am so grateful for the advice i recieved from others on the forum, just knowing other people understood and offered support without judgement was hugely helpful.
I didn't find the forum until I was 7 months in, it was such an isolating time, I didn't know if my feelings were normal or I was going completely mad.
As good as people around me are/were unless you have been through it you can't possibly understand.
This forum has made me see I'm completely normal in my thoughts and emotions. The support is second to none, they understand, they get it, they have out are living through it.
Best thing ever xx

I did not come across this forum until my dads sentence was put in the newspapers/media etc. Without this forum of other people’s experience I really do not think I would of got through it as you feel so isolated in the outside world as there might be a handful of people you can speak to about it however they have not gone through it directly therefore there understanding will not be as good as those who have.
I wish that I had found this forum from the point of the ‘knock at the door’ as I think it would of helped a lot. I think it’s amazing that everyone going through similar situations can reach out to each other and support and everyone is at different stages of the process so others can give their guidance and support!
When you’re feeling alone and down you can just log in, read and remember you’re not alone and there are others gong through similar situations and whatever the situation we’re all here for each other!
