Went to police station with DH to do video.

I stayed in the relatives room while he did the video, i am really proud of him, more has come out in the video than he told me, he told me last night.
The police officer in charge is going to come and see us next week to go over everything that DH said and then he will go and arrest the uncle.

They asked DH if he is prepared to go to court and DH said no, then he whispered to me that he was scared of coming face to face in court with his uncle so i told him to tell the officer this and the officer said that they can apply for special measures and that maybe DH would be able to give evidence via a video link or that he could stand behind a screen so he doesnt have to took at his uncle.

He is also worried about his uncle turning up at our house and the police said that if he does he will be arrested for witness imtimidation and that will go against him in court.

I have all this anger, i want to go to his uncle,s house and punch his lights out.

Last night DH was a changed man, he was laughing and joking and said he feels a huge relief, hard times are to follow though, we both know that but we will get through it.

One thing that the police officer said was that with DH coming forward that they were concerned for his uncles daughters, they live with him and his girlfriend, uncles ex wife accused him of mental cruelty and abuse towards her.
DH thinks the police have information about his uncle and thats why they are keen to get on with this, DH was thinking that the police wouldnt be interested as its his word against his uncles but from what they are saying it sounds like he is well known to both the police and social services.

Well done to you both. This is hard for your husband but it will make him feel better in the end.

Delicatematter, it's thanks to the brilliant support you've given your dh that he has finally been able to go to the police. Well done to you both. This man deserves the full force of the law and you two will probably be helping other people get some justice at last too.
The other members of your dh's family should hang their heads in shame.

It does sound very much like they have other information doesn't it? This can only corroborrate your dh's story and show his family up for what they are.

Glad to hear that it has made your dh feel better to talk to the police. He must feel that something that has been hanging over his head for a while has been lifted, even though, as you say, there are tough times to come.

I have been following your story and I would like to wish you and your dh all the luck in the world getting the justice you deserve.
