Oh Viktor,

My heart goes out to you. Everything we thought about our other half becomes shaken to the core. Our lives become shook to the core. And everything is amplified because it's Christmas. We have got so far. Take strength from that. My ex is completely blanking it ATM. Coping mechanism. And can be very cruel to me. I cry. For everything when I'm with him now. What we've lost, what we can't ever have back etc. This process is tough. Mine isn't too far behind yours but I believe we have much longer to wait until court etc. Please remember how strong you've been so far. We are strong. Whatever we have chosen to do in terms of the offender. Hugs. P. X

Hi.

I want you to know that you are not alone and it's great that you have joined this forum for support.

It's so incredibly tough right from the moment you get 'the knock' and life as you know it is gone. Being a partner means you are constantly punished despite being innocent.

What helped me (as it's not a topic you can just talk to your friends about) was ringing the LFF helpline. It did me good to speak to people who listened without judgement. Also, consider seeing your Doctor for a referral to counselling and a prescription of medication, if it is appropriate. Remember that your Doctor and other professionals are bound to confidentiality so you can tell them as much as you wish.

I hope that getting support will allow you to start thinking more clearly. There is no right decision here - whether you stay with an offender or leave, it's whatever is best for you in the long-term.

All the best.
