Hello all - my partner was due to have the bail meeting for the CPS outcome, but it has been postponed as no decision has been made. I can see from others sharing their experiences that this is very common (not just once, but multiple times).

I was hoping so much for some progress and for this to end. I have been feeling so sad since the solicitor called saying the meeting was not going to happen. The uncertainty is exhausting, not only mentally but physically too. How do you all keep strong and gather so much strength? It’s hard dealing with this, and I have no family or friends nearby.

Hey,

I'm currently in the same boat as you. Bail was extended due to cps not making a decision yet so we are now having to wait till August unless hubby gets a call before that date. I'm currently sat here watching my youngest at football training and feeling sorry for myself. Some days are really hard and my mood is so low but other days I forget anything is wrong. It's such a roller coaster of emotions but I keep telling myself to try not get worked up over something I can't fight because worrying and stressing won't make the time pass any quicker. Xx

Hi Galaxy and Bub, I'm sorry to know you are both still waiting on the CPS decision. I know how mentally and physically exhausting the waiting time is. I wasn't strong but I somehow managed to keep going and that was the best I could do. I had to accept that it was ok not to be ok and that there would be times when I could barely function. It's only now that I'm out the other side that I've felt able to start working on my own recovery and well being. The only helpful thing I can suggest is to try and take one day at a time but I know from experience that in reality that's just so hard to do.

I'm sending you both a big virtual hug and hoping you won't be waiting much longer.

Galaxy & Bub

my OH's bail is due to end on 13th and we have today been told by solicitor that police say he doesn't need to attend as still waiting to hear from CPS. The waiting is so stressful. Living life in limbo and worrying about the future while having to put on a fake face to world and pretend everything is normal is mentally exhausting and I've never cried so many tears in my entire 58 years of life.
