My husband was arrested and charged 2 months ago with accessing, possessing and making child porn available. His first court date is June 26. I'm also in Canada. There is absolutely no support for mothers like us in Canada. This is the only place I could find and I'm glad I did. Social services is now involved. He isn't allowed to be home with us. I'm not sure when he'll be able to come home. When were you able to get visitation? My kids miss their dad so much.

Hi,

I'm sorry that you find yourself here and also that there isn't anything like this available to you in Canada.
It's really hard to advise on timescales because things vary so much in each case and that's just within the UK. I don't know anything about how children's services work in Canada or what safeguarding courses are available or rehabilitation for your partner. My advice would probably be to request supervised contact and talk to the school to make sure the children have support during this time xxx

Hi Ashley, I'm in Canada too. I just created an account to direct message you but it won't let me because I've never posted before. You can message me if you'd like or I will try again later.

Prariegirl No way! I'm so happy to hear you are from Canada to. I'll look forward to when we can message. How long will it take?

I don't know how long it takes, direct messaging is still disabled for me. Anyways, I'm about 10 months into this. I'd love to set up a chat and share some of the resources that have helped me so far. It would be great to connect, it is so hard to find people who understand what we are going through.
