In disbelief
Notifications OFFWe're not clear on the charges although if does involve uploading and distribution. Us siblings work in various safeguarding and law jobs which also is another added worry, although we keep reminding ourselves "we aren't the criminal ones!"
My father lives alone and is somewhat a recluse outside of his family man persona. He seemed so well recently too. I now fear he will try to end his life as without us, he has nothing to live for. We don't want contact and the police can't welfare check him everyday so how will we know if he is even alive??? We are scared of what else they'll find and what the next few days, weeks and months will bring. My father will never know his grandchild and I feel like I'll never see him again.
Why did he do this? What do I do now? So many unanswerable questions. I feel like I'm in a nightmare, stuck. Will my life be ruined for ever?
I’m so sorry you’re facing this; your words could have been mine. I don’t have any answers either, only the same questions that seem impossible to live with. In my case it was my husband, who I was happily married to, his children who he risked and my world he shattered.
I wish I could say something that makes sense of it all, but I can’t. What I can say is you’re not alone in this, even though it feels unbearably isolating. Please hold onto the fact that none of this is your fault. Others in this forum have faced this for their friends, parents, children, partners. Some are new, and can barely see today let alone tomorrow. Others will bring their weath of expertiese and experience that will just give you a little hope that not all is lost.
Sending you love and light as you try to take each day one step at a time. We are here.
