It has been cold hasn't it! Lots of walking here too. I did enjoy the beauty of the falling snow, even if I decided that the cold was too much after a bit!
I'm catching up with my person over the weekend. We're not living together and it's hard to manage time to catch up around everything else. Just want to see where he's at with everything and what progress he's making with course and therapy etc.
Have a lovely visit on Sunday!

Hi, this is my first Friday check-in!
Im so weary. 7 years since the first knock, 3 since the second and are waiting for the pre sentencing probation appointment that was cancelled a month ago. I can't believe this is going to drag on into next year.
I don't know how I'm going manage with him. Even though he's my ex husband now, he's my carer. Because everyone left me when they found out what he'd done, I have no one to lean on or talk to apart from him and our son and a dear friend who I don't see because she's too far away. Our son is Autistic and he's got severe ME. He was 12 when his father first went to prison and he wasn't allowed any contactto whatsoever. I'm fully expecting another custodial.
Every day I feel like any little thing more will push me over the edge. We are living in fear of the case going across social media again. I'm so angry with him for doing this to us again but I'm also really angry with the system. I just want it over with. X

Hi ladies.
in our region the snow caused havoc and when it all froze over again was extremely scary to drive in - now I believe we have storm Bert to look forward to. The joys of winter....
Been quite a mix this week with challenges but here we are weekend, chill and a Baileys.
My boy is good and doing well with his theapy sessions, next week is focussing on 'guilt' so could put the pressure on a bit, but sadly it's a thing he has to face up to - to move forward.
Hope your visit goes well Upset and don't forget one of our group hugs. Of course, yes plenty of snacks.
Love to all xxxxx

Hello Friday Check in,
As I look out the the window, we are getting our first dusting of snow. It will be a foot deep soon enough.
My husband was sentenced last Friday. I'm in Canada so this won't be as relevant to most of you. He pled guilty and the two lawyers made a joint recommendation of two years. He will spend at least 6 months in custody and the remainder on parole. An additional 7 years with internet restrictions, and 20 years on the registry. This was for 144 images in cache and 17 videos. He was on social media groups (Snapchat, kik, telegram).
The surprising part was that the crown prosecutor and the judge were very kind. They stated the facts of the crime, acknowledged all the work he had done in therapy, his genuine remorse, and they wished him luck.
I feel relief. I am out of limbo land and while the consequences are long, I feel they are fair. I am adjusting to being a single parent and my kids are doing ok. I have hope today.

Hi to all
We finally have a sentence & more certainty for the next few years. Our son has a 63 month sentence but is likely to be eligible for release on licence in two years. Hearing the details in court was gut wrenching,especially for his brother & sister who will soon be starting families. That problem can wait for another day.
Now I hope he is settled in a Cat C prison for Christmas & we will know where we have to visit.
We think that we will probably move from our home area,to give him a fair chance when he is released.
And so our story continues
The upside of it all,is that we had our three other adult children to ourselves for three days!
Good weekend ahead to all x

Hello Friday Family x
Has been a long week but got to the weekend at last. Staying with some friends as planned to visit a couple of Christmas markets but Storm Bert has put a stop to that as the markets have been cancelled.
I'm sure we find something else to do, beats being at home and thinking what's been happening the last couple of weeks.
OH met with his probation officer and said she was very nice, she actually doing a home visit next Wednesday. Bit nervous about it as not sure what will be involved.
Stay warm this weekend xxx

Hello friday check in
I hope evertone manages to find some time to enjoy this weekend. I am off to a xmas market tomorrow which I was looking forward to but now fear i will end up as a drowned rat! But going on a train with a friend so the worst things is i have spent £20 to to somewhere else to sit in a pub!!
I have been ok, but have tried to do a bit of soul searching. I find i get angry and annoyed very easlily and feel tired and exhausted all the time. I snapped at someone in work and now they are not speaking to me. So i am considering going back to councilling. I dont really enjoy it but i cannot go on as i am. I am naturally a half empty person anyway which does not help. I still feel 2.5 years after sentencing fragile and it annoys me that this has affected my life so much. And i feel powerless to stop it. I am starting to feel that life is pressing down on me, but i cannot let it. Sorry a bit doom and gloom. On the positive my xmas shopping is going well, so pressure is off there.
Hope you have a great visit Upset, welcome LittleRobin3 to friday check in and hope you are lookign after yourself EBP. I hope everyone else has a time to enjoy. Xx

Hi all,
Hope you are all okay.
We have had an okay week, things are starting to feel normal at times again, which is nice. Although we have been to a 6th form open evening for my son, which feels bitter sweet as we don't know what the outcome is yet to his offending, and I don't want him/ me to get my hopes up for his future which is sad :-( He had his whole life ahead of him...
