First knock was 7 years ago and blew my very close knit and loving family apart. He got 3 years in prison, first offence, IIOC. I was left traumatised, disabled, on benefits, bringing up young kids. I developed PTSD that has never stopped. I eventually became homeless. The worst part was when the Police plastered the case across all their local social media 6 weeks AFTER sentencing! It was horrendous.



2 1/2 years ago he was arrested again. Same thing except these images are "pseudo". He had his plea last week and pleaded guilty. It's going to Crown court again. I know he's going to get another prison sentence.



I wish I could say that I've moved on in the last 7 years. I wish I could say my health has improved. I wish I could say that I no longer jump out of my skin when the doorbell rings. I wish I could say I've had some sort of mental health support. I wish I could say I am surrounded by friends and family, but I'm not. They all disappeared after they found out. I wish I could say that im not completely reliant on my ex but I am because everyone else left me apart from my son. And in a month or so time, it'll just be the two of us. Back to square one, 7 years and 6 months later, waiting for the case to gon public again and the horrific fallout.

Lots of love to you all. I'm sorry I'm so miserable. X

LittleRobin, I'm sorry to know you're feeling so sad and full of despair. The days leading up to sentencing are awful. Although I don't really have anything to say that will make you feel any better, I want you to know I'm here to support you and that I'm sending you my love and best wishes.
