Full address in the press

Hi all
my OH was sentanced and sent to prison on NYE.
since then various press outlets have given our full address which I am living in alone.
I have spoken to press police etc but nothing can be done.
so far I haven't had any backlash at the house but have upped my security etc.
people who know me however have bombarded me with abuse/ questions/ calling me an idiot/ groomed etc. no matter what I say about having done inform, research, and therapy and counselling. I am with him with my eyes utterly open but am fed up having to explain myself.
any advice/ support/ anyone whos dealt with prison system??
thanks all

Do you have children? I found it's much harder to justify a relationship if there are children involved.
I guess it's hard for others to understand why someone would want to stay with someone who'd committed the worst of crimes. I could never, ever have carried on sleeping in the same bed knowing what my ex was thinking about and doing. Even then, my friends left me.

I'm so sorry you're going through this and so sorry your post got missed. You might want to post under the discussion and support category in future as that's the category that most people read.
I'm here because of my son so my situation is different to yours I've made no secret of the fact I am standing by him 100%. My person isn't in prison but our address was published both on line and in the local paper on at least 2 occasions.
We are now 16 months post sentencing and I choose to be open and honest with people about my sons offending. We've lost friends and gained friends over the last 16 months. It hasn't been easy but has brought us to the place where we've grieved the people we've lost and love and appreciate those we have.
I really appreciate that life's hard at the moment and my heart goes out to you but I can reassure you life will get better and one day you'll find yourself smiling again.
