Good morning All,

I've not posted for a while, trying to get on with life the best we can. Tomorrow is Crown court, two years since the knock & finally its our turn. We had a Crown date some months ago but it was adjourned one hour beginning we were due in court so the roller coaster ride starts again.

Praying for a suspended sentence, I ask that you keep me & the children in your thoughts.

Thanks xxx

I'll be thinking about you .I know how it feels we went through it 3 times being actually sentencing because barrister didn't have anything. I didn't go to court but was a really stressful day

Thank you all for your thoughts & kind words. I'm absolutely devastated, he has been given 27mths & must serve a minimum of 15mths. I've no idea how I tell my 17yr old daughter who adores him & my 11yr old son who is totally unaware of the arrest ever actually happening. The judge was brutal, right from the off it was clear how it would go.



I'm just in shock, frightened if it's in the media (no press in court).



I will update fully once I've had the chance to absorb everything. Thank you for being there xxx

So so sorry to hear this and especially having to tell your children. No parent wants to have to tell their child something that will cause them hurt and upset. I hope you have support in all this - yet again it seems that the sentences handed down can be so varied. Big hug to you and your family.

I empathise with the shock and all the feelings that come with a custodial. My partner is serving 20 months inside.

If there is any practical advise or help you need related to prison please reach out. There are a few people on here that unfortunately in similar situations.

You may have heard of the charity Children Heard and Seen, but they can support you and your children.

Sending love and care your way.

I am right here with you. Nothing in our lives to date can prepare us for this situation. My person was sentenced to custodial, we have less than two-thirds to go. We have children. I can't pretend it's anything other than devastating and horrific, but you (and we!) will get through it. Every passing day is a day further away from the badness and towards the goodness - and the day when this will finally be OVER! In the meantime, try to find any positives (I try to tell myself that I get to enjoy my kids all to myself for a while!!!!) Take care, and feel free to message me any any hour of the day or night if helpful.

I'm so sorry this is the outcome you've recieved. I'm sure you must be in a world of pain and devastation right now and I can't begin to imagine how you must be feeling. Sadly I have no advice, just sending lots of sympathy and support. Xx

hi my lovely,

really do feel for you it is an horrendous time. My son was given a long sentence, more than was predicted, the judge didn't like him either, it's so sad as you know the 'good' in your loved one..... and want to scream out.

all I can offer, is throw yourself into the practicalities of the situation, how you can support your person if that's your decision. Once you've told the children, sadly another painful hurdle, try toget your mindset focussed on the practical. Saying this I understand the emotions and sadness of the situation are never far away....

my situation is very difficult, I haven't seen my boy in two years and christ how I miss him - BUT we will get through this, I say as I hold your hand xxxxxxxxx
