I know there are a few people on here who would love to be able to have a face to face (f2f) conversation with someone who has been through a similar situation to themselves. It's very difficult to know how this could be done. One idea I have had is that people who are interested in doing this could say whether they are living in North, South, East or West, Scotland, Ireland etc and people who are in the same area could message each other to find out how far away from each other they are.



I totally understand that this won't be for everyone but I wondered what people think of the idea.

Hi Dory, I am south of England so a long long way away from you. I hope there are people living much nearer to you than I am.

This is an amazing idea. I'm north west, but have agraphobia so not sure how I'm meant to meet people.

I don't come on here that often as we're 4 years post sentencing, but I'm in Hampshire if anyone wants to message me.

Just want an end to it

Hi, This is a brilliant idea, I'm south west, but am in a different position to most in that my EX took inappropriate pics of my daughter so if anyone is in a similar position and would like to chat I'm happy too. I'm 18mths post knock and still waiting for conviction. Hopefully this will be in the coming months as things are starting to move. Forensics are back and 2nd interview is soon.
