So today is a year since we had the "knock" we're still waiting for phone to be checked our last update was in may when the oic rang my husband to say no changes and his stuff is still in a queue..... anxiety is really kicking in this week I feel like I'm sitting on a time bomb waiting for it to explode, I'm terrified of people finding out and my children being affected at school worried their friends parents will stop their children being friends with my children. My youngest is autistic and her 2 friends parents are TAs in her school, she has anxiety and i worry so much how this will all affect her if they no longer let their children be friends with her.



we've spend this past year rebuilding our life's being open and honest with each other my husband has worked so hard on himself every week he attends saa, he has done all the courses and he's even re trained in his work and has been doing so well at work. He had lost his job before as the police arrested him at work, now he has a better job with better working conditions less stressful which before massively effected his mental health as he was every hour to keep up with cost of living increase.

I just don't know how much more of this anxiety I can take I'm such a worrier, I just wish we could get this all over with.

The anxiety is horrid for you all, I'm so sorry. Please remember kids are kids, my own parents telling me they didn't like a kid made me want to be friends with them more.

I just wanted to say as much as it feels like it you're not alone . We're on pretty much the same timescale as you but there are now rumblings of things starting to move. Anxiety is now through the roof . All the 'what ifs?' and then the worry of the children, media, work .. we really are wonderwomen still managing to get up everyday, put on 'the face' and carry on as best we can . But we do it , for ourselves, for our kids and for whatever decision we make regarding our relationships ( though I do wish, like Wonderwoman ,I could just spin and become someone else sometimes) . If you ever need a chat lovely you are more than welcome to message me ( that goes for anyone on here) . I can't give much in way of advice on the legal side , still trying to navigate that minefield myself, but always hear to lend a ear if you need it. Sending hugs xx
