Hi everyone.



Me and my OH separated when the knock came however I'm trying to be supportive of him still and still see him as I supervise contact with our children.



Anyway the knock came in April 24 and was asked to attended the station in July 24 to be charged. That date got put back to end of October 24 and remains that date. It all feels like it's going too fast now and I'm just worried about what the future brings. I'm praying he doesn't get a prison sentence as I have no idea how to explain that to our children.



I know whilst waiting for him to be charged he can keep his job, his rented flat but once he is charged then his life will change dramatically and although we are not together I hate the thought of how difficult his life is going to be going forwards. The closer it gets the scarier it feels again like it did in the beginning.



Just wanted to get my thoughts out xx

You aren't alone I'm sure. Part of me wants this all to hurry up, and part of me dreads all the losses which will be triggered by charges, plea, sentencing etc. I can sort of of bimble along in my current crappy situation, which I'm almost used to after 4 months. Sending a hug xx

Have they said why it's been put back again? My OH is due back at the beginning of December after 3 months and we're dreading that happening. We're only just at the beginning of our nightmare but then if it gets put back another 3 months......

In pain be parepared it's very likely after such a short time it will be. My person was on bail for one year, then RUi for 3 years. It is only just going to court.

My oh what is first arrested back in January he was meant to appear at the police station again in April when it was put back to July then again to October now it looks like it might be being put back for a fourth time which means it will be a whole year since he was first arrested To me it just feels like our whole life has been put on hold and while I'm dreading my Oh having to face up to what he's done I just wish it could be over and done with !!!

@in pain

It's been put back twice both times saying admin delays. The OIC rang last week to say he was starting work on OH case yet we got the knock in April. Don't even know if it's gone to CPS yet. When we got the knock the OIC told me he'll have it done in 12 weeks!

Sorry but to me these just seem like bail dates which sadly mean nothing.

I have been waiting over a year now almost 18 months. 9 months of bail (3 months, call back, 3 months repeat), then RUI then nothing........ the devices are in a very long line to be checked before then being called in for an interview, charged and then another X weeks as it goes to CPS.

@scared mum agreed bail dates mean nothing. also just to let you know it goes to cps before charges are made, they have to agree to the charges

Wow I can't believe the time frames! The impact it has on families and peoples lives during the waiting is just awful.
