There's no way I can ever go back home. Even if my wife didn't want a divorce, I could never look my stepdaughter in the eye again after the horror of all of this. After 12 years of being a full-time carer I find myself rattling around a flat miles from anywhere, terrified to open the blinds let alone leave the house. The people who make these accusations never stop for a second to think of the incalculable damage their words can cause. I have some clothes, a few books, an ancient PC and some memories to show for 12 years, and that's it. Even the property that was seized by the police is subject to dispute because my ex is trying to claim it all belongs to her - when I asked the police why they seized it if it doesn't belong to me, they were stumped.

Explorer, I know it all seems horribly bleak now. Would you believe me if I told you it will get better/easier? I know it seems unbelievable but it will get better. Many of us have been exactly where you are: we are still here. We've been suicidal; we've despaired; we've self-harmed; we've hurt the people who love us most; and been terrified that the truth won't come out. For some of us it has and for some of us it hasn't. But we're still here and we're stronger. You will be too, and you will be stronger because of this ordeal.

Thank you, Saffron. I do believe you, that's entirely why I ended up here, so good people like yourself can show me that things do get better. I take a lot from this forum when I read it, and I sincerely hope I can give something back when I'm in a better position.Comment
