We had that knock on the door over 21 months ago... and still no sign of any progression with the case.

Has anyone else waited this long (or longer). Living life in limbo like this is torture. When my husband's bail got extended at 18 months for another 6 months I totally unravelled and ended up in the psychiatric hospital for several weeks.

My poor children are without either of their parents right now living with my parents. Thankfully they are happy and healthy and settled but the mum guilt in all of this, trying to keep life as 'normal' as possible for their sakes is unbearable.

Is there ANYTHING that anyone can do to speed this up? I just want it over with so that at least we know what we are facing and can move on with that.

Do you have a solicitor? Can you ask them to follow up with police?

Thanks for sharing, that is such a long time. Do you feel any better on the other side of the sentencing or is it just a different sort of hurt? My worry is that I'm waiting for the next step in the hope of improving life but that actually things will only stay the same or get worse.

Sorry your going through it /: I'm affraid to say we are now at the 2 year 1 month mark. He' was bailed for 10 months then put on RUI for the rest, why was there a bail extension? We just get the same every month that they are waiting for the CPS to review it... it's awful the waiting and ripping families apart, we suffer even though we're innocent!



hope you have had some news to make your mind at ease x

Hi

we're 20 months in now since the knock and we've not heard anything since I've asked my OH to contact the police to see if they can chase it up and see what's going on, but he won't of course he won't. It is such a drag. I think the police forget sometimes it's the families that are suffering too And the effects it has on the families
