To need a handhold?

[AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley]

Because I'm making a statement tomorrow about something that happened when I was 13.

I don't know how much I'm allowed to say on here, because I've read somewhere that we're not allowed to talk about ongoing cases or something? Also, I CBA to namechange.

A few flowers or loveshapes 💟 would be so appreciated right now

[AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley]

May I politely disagree?

I'm really not...I'm just me.

The most brave and incredible people are the ones who have survived this shit, despite never telling a soul.

I have an outlet. I have here to rant, I have an INCREDIBLY supportive group on fbk, who have kept me sane today. I'd be nowhere without that support. Some people do it alone! And they survive! Without ever having had an outlet at all! They're the ones who rock. 💙

you are incredible!

Best wishes!

Radley you are one of my favourites on this silly, addictive forum. I only just found this here and my heart goes out to you. I hope you have the strength to get through this and to get these fuckers into jail where they need to be. I am holding your hand from Australia. (I was going to bring the giant Toblerone to your party, but sadly couldn't get a flight.) Toblerone dunked in wine for you tomorrow, though! xxx

Quick update...

They are formally interviewing me tomorrow at 10am.

Bring it on.

Thankfully I've never experienced what you've been through Radley but I'd also like to echo what others have said 'You absolutely rock!' u

And whilst my problems are minuscule compared to what you've had to deal with, I do wish there'd been Mumsnet when I had my kids, as I may have been able to cope with my 2 darling criers and EA exDH much better. Both my DCs were able to cry in their sleep, one with her eyes open too! And both kept it up for almost 2 years each before they finally worked out how sleep peacefully.

The awesome Mumsnet would undoubtedly have shown me how to LTB ExH much sooner too.

I'm welling up here! Oh...wait a minute...yup- they're cutting the grass! 🤧

Seriously- thank you all. I'm really nothing special. You lot, on the other hand, fucking ROCK!!

[Msqueen33]

You're a trooper! We're all rooting for you. I read your partyzilla thread. Cheeky bint!!!

You are amazing OP. I live in Rotherham. I am 39. I went to school with some of the abusers and some of the abused.

Without people like you it would still be a dirty little secret. Times are changing because of people like you. You are making it safer for my DD. And giving strength to people who have suffered.

and for you lovely lovely lady.

[Honeybee79]

All the best with it

[Supersoaryflappypigeon]

Radley you're a fucking legend-I take my hat off to you.

[AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley]

Sorry- I couldn't reply last night, on account of being a little bit pissed! 😂

I find inappropriate humor the best kind!

[2017SoFarSoGood]

Radley you make me proud to be a woman, and proud to be able to hear your story. I know that's weird but it's hard to explain the emotion you bring out. You are amazing.

[oneleggedfatbird]

I'm with you on the (possibly inappropriate) humor thing- totally get it. You are a super woman. I hope you get the result you want 🕊🕊

[Lynnm63]

I found my way here from your shagzills thread. Thankfully I've never encountered anything like this. You are brilliant, sending you 🍷 And a handhold but I don't think you need it.

[ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs]

I often feel really humbled by people on here. I have had a fairly straightforward life,nice childhood, no major issues. And I come on here and people are dealing with stuff I have never had to deal with.

[madcapcat]

Some more or merlot for you.

[AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley]

MyPatronu people deal with it in different ways. You bury, I take the piss, someone else does this, that and the other. I'm no more of a survivor than you! Look it up in the dictionary- survive= stay alive. We are both still here and posting!

PM me if you ever need to talk. 💟

[MyPatronusIsAUnicorn]

Good luck.

I found this thread from your link on the Shagzilla thread.

I'm gobsmacked that this is what you were on the phone about to the police and she is whining about you not letting her in!!!!! Fucking hell some people are actually beyond belief.

Anyway, if you need humour to deal with it then you carry on. I bury mine and not think of it at all if I can help it which I don't think is the healthy thing to do but I can't really do anything else.

I hope you bring the bastard down!

[JustDontGetItAtAll]

Op I really wish I knew you in real life! If you live anywhere near North Yorkshire, pm me!

Good luck with it all x

[AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley]

Platypus as weird as it sounds...thank fuck foe the fact that you don't get it! 💖

[hulahoopsrus]

Well done Radley xxxx

[ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs]

Absolute best of luck and hand holding here. I can't relate, as I've (happily) never been in your position, but it sounds like you are doing a good thing

[NatashaRomanov]

Radley, I'be come to this via your Hell No Friend thread.
You are amazing.
Good luck with this.
