My loved one had to go in and make the plea, I don't particularly think much of the solicitor who was supposed to be helping them. Now comes the numbness and the fear about what comes next and what a custodial sentence might look like, although tagging was also mentioned. They are still in shock, after feeling things were going well and they were getting the help they needed. Now I'm trying to be strong and be there for them and I am just feeling drained at the moment and scared of what this means. I want to help them but don't know how.
