Hi, some of you know that I'm going through this for the second time and sentencing is due in a week. I'm expecting another custodial but we will see. I don't know how to get through this next week. I'm paralysed with fear about the press/social media etc, again. I don't know how much more I can take. I'm trying to put a brave face on for the sake of our adult child who's Autistic and has severe ME. All this is making both of us very ill. X

Hi I don't really have any advice as we're going through this completely new. We are facing court in a week and also struggling with knowing just how to make it through to then. Feel free to message me if you need to talk or vent.

Little Robin and Ocean13, I remember only too well that week leading up to sentencing. Sadly I don't have any helpful information as it's a case of getting through hour by hour, day by day. What I can say is that we spent the week keeping busy, going for walks, lunches etc, sorting out finances, bank accounts and packing the 'just in case bag'.

You're not alone, we're all here walking beside you, holding you up and sending you strength.
