We’re all set..

Todays been an up and down day, the last few weeks have been full on with probation & public protection visits and SS referrals so I'm mentally drained and got a really bad sore throat and ear thing going on, unsurprisingly! Then today we had a list of last minute requests from the solicitor (most of the things they've already been sent) that really shouldn't have been left until the 11th hour causing so much stress and tension. However we now have done everything we possibly can and will await sentencing on Monday. I've felt quite flat and unsettled, a culmination of almost 18 months and now it's in the lap of the gods - or in this case the judge.
I had been really undecided about going in with him to court, but it feels like the right thing to do, for both of us. I've already heard the full CPS report that will be read out in court so there won't be any nasty surprises, although if they are able to show the 9 images (which they've said they can't access, so it's unclear what they can actually see) then I won't look. Court starts at 11am so we'll see where we are on the list and hopefully not be waiting too long. Meeting the barrister an hour before so we'll get a better understanding of what she'll be able to do and say when he's in there.
I'm also going to leave the court building first and get the lay of the land to see if I can spot any media.
Once Monday is done, the journey with SS continues and I'll need to tell my 2 boys in readiness for the SW attending our house on Wednesday afternoon. That I'm truly not looking forward to and I keep looking in to their gorgeous little faces and praying this doesn't ripple out to affect their lives any more than necessary.
So there we go, that's us at the moment. Never have my happy new year messages from people meant less than this year! Trying to stay strong and prop each other up through all of this.
Sending love to you all, no matter what stage in your journey, no matter whether you stayed/left/still unsure. This is my journey and I'll never forever grateful to have had you walk by my side every step of the way xxxx

Eye of storm - My thoughts and love are with you as you face the next tidal wave, it sounds as though you've worked very hard to get everything put into place, so well done.
Once this part is done after a long stressful wait you know what you have to face and work can start on putting life back together for your family in some form. Though traumatic in a strange way I felt a sense of relief, sentencing was over for my son.
So I'll be one virtual person holding your hand come Monday xxxx

Thoughts are with you! I really don't think they will show the images but they might describe them
I recommend going in separately, maybe 5-10 mins apart, and I recommend your person wears a hat and face mask or sunglasses, in terms of avoiding possible press
