Hi all, after trying to process the initial trauma 6 weeks ago...I've now sold our family home and in the process of trying to get my own place for me and my 5 and 7 year old. I am working full time, my mum has alzheimers and I have always been an empath and a worrier. Court date for ex has been postponed twice now (on the day), so all the anxiety but no outcome. Today he was called to HR who advised they were aware of the charges. He has a meeting tomorrow and will likely lose his job. So, today he was a total mess and who has to try and offer support? Me, us...because our kiddos need their parents. This is so exhausting ladies...the trauma, betrayal, loss of family home, financial impact, isolation....we are all living it, my goodness we deserve so much more. Hugs to to all, thank goodness we have each other

It has been 6 weeks for me too since the knock. I just wanted to say that I have an 8 year old and my mum also has dementia, I think that adds a whole load of extra stress to an already stressful and devastating situation. I know for me the one person I would love to talk to right now about all of this would be her. Sending hugs x

Sending lots of love and hugs. I can't imagine how sad and probably angry you are right now. Id be soo angry if i lost our family home due to my partners stupidity. It is okay to step back, point him in the direction of stop it nows help line, private therapy if needed. You're not alone though.
