@Dragonmama, I can totally understand the sentiment, I would love to meet up with people as well, who are going through the same.

However, I can't warn you enough to meet up with people from this forum in real life.

At the end of the day we are all strangers and ANYONE can register here.

Who's to say that the person that you're meeting up with isn't a vigilante, who's trying to "expose" family members of an offender?

Please be cautious. Take care xx

Oh I know that, I would only possibly accept people that i can see previous posts and would start off first exchanging numbers. Thank you for your concern it is very much appreciated, to be fair what you have said has already run through my mind xx

Feel free to message me. My person was communication too (police decoy) and was remanded until sentencing. Ss involvement was fairly minimal compared to others on here, no cin or cpp and we are at the stage of me supervising contact anywhere we choose to with no time limits or set days etc. I'm open to anyone messaging me from here xxx

I'm v.lonely and have limited access to going out too not driving so public transport is good but I'm useless on where to travel I want to find friends in same situation so I don't have any idea as to reaching out for here helps but too skeptical for a possible joke or someone else to joke on I had friends but feel like I can't open it anymore to be used as much too so if anyone wants to be there for me to do the same in return please let me know many thanks.......

Hi Whisper,

Things are so very raw for you right now. The direct messaging may not be the best thing to combat your feelings of loneliness and wanting to protect yourself. In the early days it's important that you get as much information as possible and if you are only direct messaging you'll only have that persons experience and opinions to base things on. That's not to say that you shouldn't use it, I'm sure all of us here would like to support you. There are other organisations who offer zoom and face to face regional meetings, I haven't been through those but some people on here do so perhaps they can advise you xxx
