Shortly before Christmas daughter who is 12 made an allegation that my ex husband touched her during contact time.

I reported all of these allegations to the police and social services. Stopped contact.

But I am really worried about my daughter and her mental health. It's bad. I worry a lot about putting her through the criminal law process. It will explode our lives. I don't know if I can do this as a single parent, against a rich man. The chances my daughter will be believed seem really small. I see all the problems with criminal Justice. It could be years until any trial.

Meanwhile if I drop it then ex will claim alienation and drag me through the family court. He's an idiot but he has a very wealthy partner who will pay for the very best for him. They could ruin me financially easily.

I am frightened. All I ask myself is how do I get out of this? It feels like more trauma not less.

Can anyone understand this? It feels like a bomb went off in my life.
