My ex was in court today, first breach of non mol by chasing myself and our 10 year old daughter in the car to the point she was terrified. Along with numerous nasty texts and calls. He was a given a 6 month custodial sentence today and i cant understand as i was assured he wouldnt get a custodial sentence. My daughter isnt coping at all and if she ever finds out hes in prison it will destroy her. Do you think a custodial sentence should have been given?
Thank you, it's been a long hard lesson to learn. He was my first boyfriend and I married him against Whst everyone told me. I believed it was my fault and he made me feel like no one would ever want to me and is never do better than him. I suffered anorexia because I felt so isolated and alone. No one knew how bad things were only that I was very sick. I'm very lucky to have amazing support or I wouldn't be where I am now. It's thanks to people telling me not to give up and believe in myself. I just wish the nightmare was over , the house was sold and then all ties severed. I hope anyone who goes through the same has the strength and support to leave, no one should ever suffer such a use in silence.
No, they shouldn't. I was fortunate in that no child was involved. My house hung on for 5 years. I hope your new friend is, indeed, a friend (as was mine) and is strong enough to support you now and in the draggy bits to come. It will happen, you will be free. We are all here for you. :) x
