Hi Whisper - it sounds like you're thinking hard about what the future holds for you and your children. It can be confusing, can't it? Your priority is to keep them safe but you need to work out what part their father can take in all this. Does his community order include any courses he has to do? If so that should help him understand why he did what he did, which will help you. Perhaps you could find a course for yourself on how to be a protective parent. It's good that your partner didn't get a custodial or suspended sentence.

Sorry if I've not answered your post helpfully but sending a big hug and hope for you in 2024

So brief update is that we FINALLY have been granted the funding from social services for so Lucy Faithfull Risk Assessment. CPP says at the moment that he can't live here.

It's been a really rough journey to get here. Despite be allowed to for well over a year.

Police have said the consider him a low risk to his own children. He has no bail conditions as he is RUI. Device check took almost two years and found nothing we didn't already know. Images of all 3 categories and an "obvious and historic pornography addiction"

Anyone have any insight into what happens from here? What is the risk assessment like? If it finds him low risk can social services still make him stay out of the house?

@lonelymum hi we had a forensic risk assessment funded by SS just before Christmas completed by Professor Leam Craig. It was 1 full day with his associates then 2.5 hours with him. It was hard and triggering but came back low risk and positive.



We are struggling at the moment as SS say no safeguarding risk but only allowing 2 hours one evening and 3 hours at weekend specified days and want to close the case at that. As much as I don't want SS in our lives I feel we haven't yet got to the point where we want to be yet.

Hi,

I'm 3 years post sentencing, still living apart from my daughters father but happy with the life I have made since this.

The early days are incredibly tough but finding little things in each day or week can help to show you the strength you are gaining.



On the understanding why section there is a topic called surviving the early days, that's very useful xxx

I came across an article that reminded me of your situation https://www.pinchofattitude.com/hitting-rock-bottom/ The author talks about hitting rock bottom after a divorce. Some of the lessons she learned that may help you are taking things one step at a time, focusing on your kids, asking for support, and remembering that you have the strength to navigate this difficult time. Wishing you and your children all the best.

Thanks @strengtheningbonds for the link. I am 16 months on from the knock. Going through a low point. I have found strengths I didn't know I had to get here. My OH has been through the court system and on a 3 year community order with 200 hours community payback. We haven't lived together since the knock . I am currently considering whether to start over and buy a house together . I love him and want him safe but my trust is shattered. I find my life scary. I look back over the years with my OH and I am not sure what is real. I question whether it's possible to start again . I worry about living a small life and feeling estranged from my relatives and friends . I am finding life really challenging at present . I have a counsellor which is helpful.
