Doing well
Happy birthday to your daughter... my daughter is 12 in a few weeks and Iv no idea where that time has gone!!
my week has been ok we're preparing for my daughters dance show so that's keeping us busy. Iv finally accepted that I need to take the anti depressant that the doctor prescribed me a few months ago I felt like a failure so wouldn't take them, they've made me feel so sick which apparently is normal for the first week.
we've still no updates on my persons case he is Rui since Oct arrested in July 22. I feel like I'm on eggshells waiting for the next stage, it really is the worst thing waiting. I'm so worried about it getting out into the media, my youngest is autistic with anxiety and I worry so much what will happen if it gets out.

Thank you x
They grow up so quickly, I remember when my daughter was that age x it's good she has her dancing, I bet it keeps you busy
The waiting on this journey is horrendous but you will get through it, try not to think of the media, I know easier said than done , hopefully it wont be reported, but it is hit and miss, but take each day at a time xx
I have been on antidepressants for over a year, so decided to reduce from 50mg to 25 after 3 weeks I went back on the 50 as my anxiety was at an all time high, I thought I dont need them as they don't seem to be doing anything but they did so I am back on 50mg xx

Sorry you have had the trolls but they have nothing better to do, they are not even worth the words they write, they have no idea what this journey is like
Getting in to a routine is the first step, how have the phone calls been any better between you and your person? xx
Are you ok x

Our sons are good people, the fact he got help for another person shows in what he did for the man in question, he is not lost in the prison system, xx he is a kind and thoughtful son xx

Upset mum, hello dear friend!
Happy birthday to your baby.
Parkerpoo, I'm sorry to hear about trolling. I'm sure none of them could say a word to your face.
We've had a good week, hubby back in the house, SS closed the case, for now I can not ask for more.. this is us until the investigation ends. I still can't believe we woke up every day under the same roof this week!
Something I never appericiated before the knock.
Looking forward to 3 day weekend.

Made it through to another weekend. Desperately worried that my husband's employer is trying to find a way to terminate his contract for breaches of company policies after their meeting last week. I'm on tenterhooks awaiting the outcome of their investigation. Hoping that the worst will be a written warning. Surely not remembering the content of half a dozen polices can't be gross misconduct and sackable?
As for me, I'm starting a virtual course offered by the NHS on Confidence and Communication tomorrow. This is supposed to be my counselling but it's a group support 8 week course. I'm not turning down support from wherever it's offered but I'm sceptical about what it can do to help. I was hoping/expecting 1-2-1 counselling. I'm also hoping that next week's session will be cancelled because I want to watch the Coronation! Is that wrong priorities?

A group support could be really helpful, is it a group for the same reason we find ourselves here or is it a mixed reason group?x
It must be really difficult to not know what your husband's company is going to do, but he hasn't brought it in to disrupt, so not sure where they can go with it, have you spoke to Unlock to see if they can help?xx

It's a mixed group. I don't have to say anything about why I'm there they said. They describe it as helping to develop a healthier relationship with yourself and others. To remove barriers to being confident, offering support and understanding.
I have been through a lot of stress caused by my husband over the last five or six years (not related directly to why I'm in this Group) with the knock having been the latest bombshell and perhaps an unsurprising culmination of what's gone before (ie porn addiction).
Not contacted Unlock yet but will keep it in mind. Thanks for the reminder :)

Hello!!!!
I've had an brilliant week, truly! Loved being back in work and within the first 10 mins it felt like I've never been away. Kids were fantastic and so welcoming and pleased, which makes what I do all the more worthwhile. I was asked where I had been, I just told them Tesco haha.
Just need to catch up on the other posts but really pleased you've had a good day celebrating your daughter's birthday, Upset

I'm having a weekend away to getaway from it all and here I am catching up with my partners in crime LOL.
Hope everyone is doing OK, I think I was losing it a bit this week but feeling stronger at the moment. I'm sure that knowing you guys are all out there helps me, I feel like we are a human chain all holding one another's hands.

My week has been ok, toddler picked up a virus so no nursery or groups this week. Fortunately she's been well in herself.
We've had a good day with my person today but feelings of being open and vulnerable got to me a little. In some ways I know it needs to happen for me to be authentic in our relationship but it's a struggle to have those thoughts of what if he breaks my heart again. Probably doesn't make much sense but I wouldn't be true to myself if I didn't write it either.
I hope everyone is doing as well as possible. Love to you all xxx

Hi there ! Well I'm.plotting along , we are talking openly and honestly. I'm stuck in a way this last few weeks . I'm starting more thearpy on Tuesday because like I described it to thearapist , I feel like I've been on a rollercoaster and it's finally stopped and I'm stuck at the bottom and I can't get off . 4 months post sentencing.although a lot happened to me before too think it's all coming to a head . My person doing brilliant, he's stronger than ever now and is pushing forward with his life and I'm just stuck .anyway hopefully I'll get moving ! Xx
Upset,
Glad to hear you had a good phonecall with your son and I can imagine the year anniversary of his court date brings up some memories and emotions, so I hope you're taking care and being kind to yourself.
Delighted you and your babygirl had a lovely day celebrating her birthday! She is lucky to have you.
This week has been another tough week for me. Yesterday marked one month since the knock. It's been a tough week, but I'm getting up each day and carrying on.
Wishing you a good bank holiday weekend x
