I'm sure this isn't having a bit of an effect on her.
I know its easier said that done, but get out of the house as much as you can - go for walks, cinema - anything that will distract you for a while. It does help.
And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the world. Then made the world round .... and laughed and laughed and laughed ..
Get the marigolds on! I'm with MacDougal on the healing power of a clean house. It takes your mind off things, and when you have finished you feel an immense sense of satisfaction. Turn some music on loud, and get scrubbing.
I know how difficult this is, really I do, but if you keep yourself busy you will find you have less time to dwell on things. You can do it.
well, been out for a while this morning nothing over taxing but managed it. yesterday was a nightmare but feel bit better today, trying to stay positive. Would just be nice to hear from the solicitor, but understand how busy he is, patience is the buzz word I gather. Son getting more and more anxious with every passing day knowing bail date not far off. Trying to keep his spirits up as best we can.Always glad when hubby get home from work, feel safer when he here. thanks yet again for all your wise words.
glad to see you coping witsend - its very hard, but you can do it.

thanks for the hugs, they mean a lot Set myself a challenge this afternoon!! go through old bank statements and such from 2006, then spent an hour shredding. If I imagined really hard it was as if I was shredding all our worries away. so another job done
Having really bad day and it only 10.30 my nerves are completely fried, about the only thing I've managed to do is have a shower and that took real effort. Just want to sit in a corner and die.
Hey, come on, you were doing so well!
Get up and do something. Go for a walk if you can face going out of the house. If not, clean your oven, read a book, slap some paint on a wall. But you must do something.
You can't sit in a corner and die, your son needs you.
Chin up, lovey. You CAN do this.
Saffron, i Know we have got to do this for our son, but this whole situation is KILLING me inside. I put on a brave face because he does not need to see me distressed. Today I just don't have the strengh to do anything anymore. It's been over a month since he was questioned, bail date is looming and I don't know how much more of this we can take.
Witsend, theres a chance that this could be over before you suffer death by sitting in corners so lets forget that one love and stay positive.
You're doing extremely well and can pull through this. It's difficult, but whoever said things were easy? I can tell from reading you're a good person and although you dont deserve this, we dont want to see one of the worlds decent people get down. So chin up and do something productive. Go out and buy a guitar and teach yourself to play (if you dont already). As frustrating as it is not being able to play when you first pick it up its therapeutic and it'll pass away the hours when you have nothing else to do
I don't wish to sound so negative today, but want to sit and cry to let some of this emotion out but can't do that in front of my son. Have managed to get through most days this week but today is an absolute killer, will try to settle to do something in a while, just sooo exhausted.
you will have days like this, but hopefully they will get few and far between as the days go on.
Chin up, always come here to moan and we'll do our best to cheer you up.

well another weekend! so another week ahead. not too bad at the moment but have docs again tomorrow. son staying at home for now think it best all round. He is so confused by what is going on and keeps asking Why has this happened, it breaks my heart that i have no answer.
it's so difficult isn't it? But you have to keep on keeping on - there is no alternative.
You'll have to try and get out even if its for a walk round the block - it may seem daunting, but it does help.

Great news folks had a phone call this morning from OIC of case, the case has been dropped After questioning the female concerned again she admitted it was consensual. We were never in any doubt that our son was telling the truth, but the pain and distress this has caused has been unbearable at times. MANY MANY thanks for all your support during this horrendous time, my thoughts are with all of you that are still going through this.
