Still no arrest made. An email sent yesterday from the police officer dealing with it said something like, "I appreciate you're distressed however please rest assured that we are actively investigating this however I’m sure you’ll understand that live ongoing incidents and operational demand take priority." Then he informed me he was going on his days off and would contact me with an update "in a few days time" when he's back on shift. Ok thanks mate, let's hope we aren't attacked by an unhinged mad man before then 👍🏻
Oh and, mum and stepdad have fucked off for a nice little trip away, without DSD obviously, but messaging her to say they're going as they need "headspace". How lovely. THEY need headspace. Oh, ok. I thought it was my family who was threatened repeatedly with violence, but ok then. Off you fuck for your headspace you selfish bastards. Don't worry about your daughter, we'll mop up the pieces of your shit abusive parenting and be there for her.
Also, at DSD's request, because "I want you and Dad to listen in as she makes me feel so stressed and anxious", we listened to a phone call between her and her mum in which DSD was repeatedly gaslighted, talked over, threatened with more violence, and blamed for stepdads actions. As well as some pretty disgusting false accusations about me, which angered and appalled us all including DSD (I was quite touched when she text her mum afterwards to say I can't believe the disgusting comments you made about my stepmum, she's an excellent mum, etc). Bless her.
But yes, it’s utterly appalling. The whole thing. They are deeply unpleasant people and I feel so sorry for DSD that this is her mother. I do not know what to do to help anymore, I feel helpless.
