Yes, I repeat everything above about how good it is to read a success story. I am a few years along the road, but it is still a bumpy process. I keep reading and re-reading alot of books and think I have got my head round things, but then coming across an old photo or old email still touches me which I find upsetting. I still feel guilty myself for being drawn in, putting up with it for so long, and hiding the truth from friends who could have helped me. I guess that it’s so important to have the chance to share here because no one else really understands it unless they have actually experienced the abuse (mental or physical)?

I agree with all of you. I first contacted the police in (detail removed by moderator), but it took (detail removed by moderator) before the CPS agreed to prosecute. This was after (detail removed by moderator).

Would you think the police would have charged by now? No, they are too busy with incoming cases, which I have heard a hundred times before. I thought that a female officer would now have empathy, but I was wrong. It is just a form filling exercise, and no wonder so few cases go to court.

Can anyone advise how long I should expect to wait for the police, or should I complain to a senior officer?
