Hi everyone,
I've been reading some of the stories on here over the last few days and finally plucked up the courage to actually post.
It's my dad that's the one in question. It all started a 3 weeks ago now when there had been sightings of a man outside a school a few miles away from us, my dad is one of the suspects now after police were on patrole and they took him in for questioning. My dad is adamant that it's not him and there is evidence that will hopefully prove that this is the case however because his phone and tablet were taken off him the police came across some images of children (which were graded at catagory c - whatever that means). We then told my brother and one of his children are now accusing my dad of being inappropriate towards her. We feel like this has completely came out of the blue and are in so much shock! My dad had admitted to the photos and he's been so open and honest about it! He is a broken man just now and realised he should not have these photos! He has got help and even been to a few sessions with stop it now but he is adamant that this case with my neice is completely false!
We are now waiting on a court date for the original charge and we have 1 week left on the other case with my neice as he has been let out under "not officially accused". Me and mum are absolutely devastated that this has even happened!

Hi ????
Thanks so much for your reply! I'm trying to find some time for myself but because my brother obviously isn't wanting to have anything to do with us the now I feel like it's up to me to make sure my mum and dad are ok!
We all just want this to be over with but I know that could take months! It's trying to find people you can trust to talk to aswell and feel like they won't judge you! X

Thanks so much for your replies, it's some comfort even just knowing that there are other people out there that has gone through this. I'll definitely speak to a councillor, me and mum both will but is it not better to wait until we have a court date. I just feel like no one can really give advise before we know an outcome if that makes sense!
Yes, I definitely need to meet up and talk to friend's more. Just afraid if when I leave the house anything will happen like a phone call or a knock at the door and I want to be there. Thanks so much for your advice! Really means a lot x

I would highly recommend a councellor. I have told family and a few friends about our situation, i can talk to them but its awkward and they react to things i sa (they cant help it, not in a bad way but any reaction causes stress). I had my first meeting with the councellor last week, i could say anything, cry, talk about my fears, all of it. I found it really helpful, there was no judgement just help to get it all out.
