But I am also so very sad as he had a very prominent part in my granddaughters life.
I now have to tell my lovely daughter he is gone for good. She loved him too.but tonight my granddaughter may not have had her nanny. I was so scared.
The police were amazing

I didn’t see your post but so glad that the police have intervened and you are safe, sending you strength to carry on and good luck for your police interview tomorrow

TheGreatWesternShrew · 06/09/2025 02:06

They don’t love him Op. They loved who he pretended to be… a lie. You’re saving them from deception. They’re better off with a happy nanny and with him gone.

sashh · 06/09/2025 05:21

I did not see your original post but I am glad you are safe. This is the start of a new life.

Zanatdy · 06/09/2025 06:19

Didn’t see your post but massive well done. Today is a fresh start, with that loser out of your life for good.

Pricelessadvice · 06/09/2025 06:59

No idea what happened OP, but well done! You are worth so much more xx

Gordon1958 · 06/09/2025 07:12

Talk to a Soliciters. I believe you get free legal advice in cases of domestic abuse.

DoIWantThis · 06/09/2025 07:47

Didn't see your original thread - I am so pleased that you are free. Stay strong and enjoy a peaceful life.

Maray1967 · 06/09/2025 07:54

I didn’t see your post, but I am so glad you called the police and that he has been removed from the property- and you can remove him from your life. When your DD knows what he has done she is not going to want him back. If someone had done this to my mum I would want to kill him.

Your DGD might not understand as easily, but his behaviour towards you shows what a threat he is towards women and she might not have been safe as she grew up. We shouldn’t just give our DC/DGC what they want - we should give them what is safe and good for them. He is neither.

Fluffypotatoe123987 · 06/09/2025 08:11

Can you tell us what happened?
Glad your safe.

Indicateyourintentions · 06/09/2025 08:47

Well done brave lady! It will probably be a bit of a rollercoaster in the following weeks/months but totally worth it to keep him out of your lives forever.
Keep on keeping on!

LakieLady · 06/09/2025 08:59

Didn't see your first thread OP, but I'm so glad you're safe, and that the police have been so good.

And I hope you have plenty of RL support, too.

CallMeEvelyn · 06/09/2025 13:23

Glad to see it, OP. I saw your OG thread and replied to you, as well as flagging it up to MNHQ for your safety. Take care and I wish you all the very best xx

AutumnFroglets · 06/09/2025 13:39

I didn't see it either but it sounds as though you had a very close call.

Sending strength and love 💕

An update

Firstly thank you for your replies.
He is still in custody and facing a court appearance today.

There are 5 counts he has been charged with ranging over a a good few years. I'm not sure what the legalities are regarding talking about what happened on here while things are in process.

But here's what I can say, I have back up from solace going back to last year, I also have given permission for them to access my medical files for two times I was hospitalized.

I have been so sad the last few days and wondering how the hell i can live my life with out him in it, but i have had amazing support from all my family. And I still have to sign a statement which I have been given a bit more time to do. I will sign it.

I do worry what will happen if he is bailed, although he could be remanded and I will know later today. I'm also wondering if it will be magistrates court or crown court, I dont know what happens if he pleads guilty or not guilty or even if there will be a plea. I do ask questions to the police and they give me as much info as they can but obviously can't say how things will pan out. It's so confusing. would anyone know what could possibly happen today?

Thanks again.

I can’t advise at all on what might happen in court today but I’m sure others with more knowledge will be along soon.
It might be possible a non-molestation injunction could be imposed.
Stay strong, try and make sure that you’re not alone; that a friend or relative is with you.
You’ve done the right thing and your life will be better without him.

Thank you
He's been remanded in custody. They said his solicitor could do a bail application though. But I am safe for now. Relief!

Another update
I have to give a videoed witness statement tomorrow.I am so nervous!
His next court appearance isn;t far off.
I had a call from witness protection who said it will likely go to trial as he has pleaded not guilty and he likely to plead not guilty again at the next appearance.

I have read tots of stuff about ;beyond reasonable doubt; And I just fear I won't be believed as I have memory gaps. I have given permission for medical records and I have some photos. I am just so scared I wont be believed. I have seen how these arsehole men get away with stuff.

On a positive note (and I never thought this would happen) I have no feeling towards him now, even after a week or so the positive memories keep getting wiped out, I don't miss him, I don't crave his touch or affection anymore. I just feel nothing for him, no love nor hate, It's so strange and I haven;t cried for over 3 days now.

Sorry if there are typos. im on pc and don;t have my glasses at hand.

We are all here to hand hold OP you are moving on with your life. I know a trial will be hard but you can and will do it. He is trying to intimidate you with the 'not guilty'.

It might be an idea to ask whether this thread can be used as evidence?
