Big hugs and lots of support coming your way x the press are horrible and social media is a nightmare, we have been there. People said to me that the press attention will die down and it has, we are moving and perhaps that is something you should consider for your parents, take a day at a time and be kind to yourself. I am still very scared my husband will be recognised and it’s awful but remember none of it is your fault. Xx

Serrena,

I'm so sorry to hear what a terrible time you are having. It sounds as if your worst fears were realised, and understandably it is very hard for you right now. Yes, you are safe on the forum and please keep leaning on us. Also, if anyone is violent towards your father, remember that the police are there to help him as much as anyone else. Nobody deserves to be physically abused.

You need to feel safe yourself. Have you got someone you trust who can come and stay for a bit? Maybe a friend or relative? It's true what the other women on the forum say - the media hype will die away after a while. However, whilst you are in the thick of it, do remember that the law is there to protect you and your family. You are completely innocent and can hold your head up high when you go out. Most people will feel sympathy rather than hostility towards you.

Sending love - I wish I could do more. XXX
