After sentencing, it's hard, but you know what you have to face up to and your life seems to have a 'little' more direction.

I send you a hug, you sound as though your are dealing with SO much at once. You have us all behind you Anxious xxxx

Hi Anxious mummy,



Big hugs to you and your son xxx

Will be thinking of you on Wednesday, I'm feeling the same and we're not even at plea hearing yet. Still trying to get my person to that mentally is draining and who knows what will happen after that, time spans are so wrong on every level on how these cases are dealt with and families are left to crumble.

Would you mind me asking your persons charges? Just wondering and will be helpful for us to maybe see what my person might be looking at, then again it's the luck of the draw, or should we say judge on the day xxx

Sentencing was awful and I can understand how you feel, the lead up was so stressful and I felt like he was burying his head in the sand. I also run by own business and in many ways, it's been a lifeline but sometimes I wish I was employed and could have been signed off for a bit. It can feel relentless at times, but we're over 9 months post sentencing now and everything is much calmer. Our divorce is finalised and I was lucky to be able to stay in the family home. (He was arrested at work, so not so bad for us). My friends and family have been amazing. He had a suspended sentence, has somewhere to live and a job.



I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday. You can't change the outcome, but being prepared for what might happen will help. Are you going? I took a notebook with me so I could write things down, as there was a lot to take in and I would have forgotten bits. My sister made sure she was around for the day when we had sentencing so I had support (she didn't come to court).

As hard as Wednesday will be at least you will have the outcome and a chance to build a future for yourself and your son ,x

Hopefully an offer will happen soon and you can fine a new home to settle in to x

You have so much strength and you will get through it, I will be thinking of you all x

Will be thinking about you on Wednesday. Sending positive thoughts. I suppose it's another step forward in the journey and when you know the outcome then you'll process it and deal with it because that's what we do x

Hi Anxious Mummy, I found sentencing really hard. If I'm being honest I can't say that I felt much better after sentencing but I think that's because I suffered so much with anxiety for the 2 years prior to sentencing that my mind is only very slowly beginning to reprogrammed itself.
I'll be thinking of you and sending you hope and strength.

I'm so sorry today has been really tough x

No matter the sentancing you deserve to find a new stable happy life, he is reacting because he knows this is down to his actions and sentancing is not far away, but the most important thing for you to remember is you are incredibly strong, never let anyone take that away from you, your son will flourish as he has you , the house is owned by you both, so no matter what he tells you, by law you have rights, you need to put yourself first xx

Hey



so sorry you are going through this too.

I tried to stay post knock for a year then came to plea and I heard other categories etc that I hadn't been made aware of. Press were in room but didn't report



oh had high volume and come time for sentencing even tho first offence and no chatting to minors were told he may get custodial. He got out but on a tag. I kicked him out prior as I was so so worried for my 13 year old as he knows nothing. I was so shocked that I was finding out the charges at the same time as the public. Luckily no press at the scentencing

my house is up for sale and I'm moving out too it is very stressful but keep reminding urself that u are a victim in all this it's him that's done wrong not u. Stay strong and focus on the good that u have with ur son.



sending u lots of love u will be fine.
