My OH has been in prison almost a year now, convincted after a 2 year investigation, and finding thousands of images and videos.

When he comes out he will be in an approved premises for 2 months. But after that... who knows.

We own our home outright, and while he is inside my children visit 4 days a month but thats it. when he is home they wont be. but probation is still avoiding allowing him home. Honestly we have had a nightmare with probation- our current one is a care taker after trying to contact our usual one for months we find out he has been off sick for 5 months and noone had been in touch.

They wont listen to the fact my children cannot come to our home alone, we arent on any bus routes, 45 mins from thier dads (who they reside with) and are very rural.

all we want is my partner home, in our home so we can rebuild our lives. He is actually a good man, and has done the most awful thing, but people arent just their crime.

We have lots of work to do on our home, we have pets here, and I am one of his safety factors.

His crime was online- never contacted anyone, never spoke to anyone and never moved to a contact (physical) offence. He has truly learnt his lesson. he has done the LFF inform course and I have done the family one.

But he feels hopeless, as do I. probation arent helpful, He wants to be able to work and get a job having lost his due to his crime, but feels like he never will.

He will be on the SOR and SHPO for 10 years. (well 8 when he comes home)



Please give me some hope!!!
