Trial
Notifications OFF
My now ex has his trial in June, I have 5 children and I'm absolutely terrified it's all going to come out in the press or social media. I'm worried about mine and my childrens safety none of us want to move and my additional need son doesn't do well with change. What on earth will we do, people in our area either know us or know of us. Its all stressing me out so much.
Hi Meg,
This happened to us first time round. My ex reoffended and is due to be sentenced on Monday so I'm worrying just like you.
I guess all we can do is come off all social media so we can't see the comments. Good people will stick around and want to know the truth, others will go, and that's ok. The only people we need around us are those who are prepared to support. I live in social housing so I don't have the luxury of choosing to move and like you, I have a son with additional needs who can't cope with change.
So, I hear you. I'm sorry I can't offer any more advice. Are you going to attend the trial? You can ask for a volunteer to go with you or in your place. It's often the best way to get the truth. Sending you very best wishes. X

My person was sentenced a couple of weeks ago. He received a suspended sentence. It was reported on in the press and on the police website. No photograph though. He's had no repercussions from it so far and thankfully has been able to carry on with daily life. A couple of times he's been wary of neighbours nearby talking about him but if they were then there's nothing he can do about it. It was in the media before he'd even made it back from court.
It's an awful, scary time but already seems like a distant memory. It's old news and there's a load more headlines been printed since. You'll get through it. Take care x
