Family and Friends Forum

It has been 2 months since the knock on the door, and our family life has changed. It has felt like our life has been run by government departs (social workers, health visitors etc) since that day. We have a child protection plan in place and are still living together at the moment, but are planning on seperating for a while as i feel i need some spece to breathe and to sort out my future/ my families future. To be honest our marriage has not been great over the last few years, and prior to my husbands arrest in November. I know my husband is a good man, and great father and provider who has made a terrible mistake, and now must face the consequences for his actions. I do not condone what he has done. The police are no help really with a timeline anything from 6 to 12 months or even longer as i have seen on here. Life must go on i know, and i know it will be tough living as single parent.

My question to those who have stayed together is how have you managed to moved forward? Have you forgiven them? and how did you rebuild the trust? How do you deal with living with someone with an addiction for the rest ofyour life?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks SallyBlue or your advice.
