My person is due to be sentenced on Monday. Over 3 years since the knock and sentencing has been adjourned for no reason whatsoever three times so far. 8+ years since the first knock yet it feels like yesterday. I'm starting to get really scared about the press and social media. Last time it was a nightmare because it was 6 weeks after sentencing when it appeared on the Police FB page. 6 weeks!
Another problem I have is my NHS Psychiatrist who is meant to be supporting me but has done anything but. After the most recent appointment I had with him, he wrote a summary letter to my GP saying that I had my ex arrested due to images. I did not. The Police arrived at 7am with the knock and went from there. This letter implies I knew what my ex was doing. I did not. Not only that, this Psychiatrist wrote that I "still believes her ex is a decent person". How dare he? I am dreading having to see him again. In fact, I expect I'll cancel it.
No point to this post, I'm just venting. X
