My husband was arrested in May for communicating online with underage girls. This apparently has been going on for a number of years. He also says he was unaware the 'girls' were underage but his story varies. He is bailed at the moment. We have been told it could take 2 years before anything concrete happens.

I feel very alone. Our adult daughters are aware. So are a few select family members and friends. I have so many conflicting thoughts. At the moment I am finding living with him going on social visits difficult as I feel I am living a lie. I wondered how others cope.

The constant lying and vigilance is very draining!



this part of the forum does not get much traffic, I suggest re-posting to the "discussion and support" page and your will get a wide range of responses.

It is a lonely journey. Especially if your dealing with conflicting family opinions.

I remember at first how I just wanted to curl up in a ball and people to leave me alone to deal with my thoughts. We've said many times it's also like coping with a bereavement.

it's took me several years to begin to feel stronger, but can easily slip back and those feelings resurface.

We understand . Xxxx
