Hi. I'm sorry, it's truly awful. My ex was remanded so I didn't attend court until about 8 weeks later. I took my eldest daughter with me who was 19 at the time and it was a huge mistake. They read out descriptions of images that not only will I never forget but that I could never ever have imagined. I guess the only thing you can try to do is distract yourself. At this point try not to concern yourself with what others think, they should be supporting you. It sounds like your partner has washed his hands of your son when he should be supporting you in your most vulnerable hour. In all honesty, I have no idea how I got through that stage, however, if I can, you can too. Much love to you and all the best for tomorrow. Xx

Hi Poppop, my heart goes out to you. I remember the night before court and the anxiety that comes with it so well.
I sat with my son the evening before and we went through all the arrangements he'd made. We checked his 'just in case' bag and made sure he had essential phone numbers and some cash. I kept reminding myself that by the following evening we'd be out the other side no matter what that would look like. It was a very long night but somehow I got through it and you will too.
I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and will be there beside you holding your hand. You can do this. Sending you lots of love and strength and all the very best for tomorrow.

All the very best Poppop, I shall be thinking of you tomorrow, as I am this evening. Huge hugs to you X

Hi Poppup! I'm not exactly in the same position as you but my OH has an interview with police tomorrow. I'm wracked with anxiety over this. It's so scary waiting for things to happen so I have some understanding of how you're feeling. I've got my fingers crossed for the both of us. The anticipation and not knowing the outcome is awful. Sending out big hugs xx

My husband went to prison. I didn't go to court. Hung about in coffee shops till the solicitor rang to give me the news. Quite a surreal feeling.

I so remember the anxiety the night before. You will get through this. Tomorrow will seem so surreal and it will be a long day. You will hear things you wish you hadn't but at the end of the day it will be over with and you can start to move forward from this. I will be thinking about you xx

Poppop - thinking of you today and hoping for the best outcome possible. We have court in September for the same charges (my son).

I have been through the night before emotions once already only for court to be adjourned as the prosecution had not provided their evidence. I can already feel the build up starting again and we have several more weeks yet.

take care of yourself x x
