Uncle finally arrestedLa

Last week, he was finally arrested, questioned,fingerprinted and sample of DNA taken.
Of course he denies charges doesnt understand why DH has done this and told DC that DH has his time wrong that he can only have been 4 when the events took place, thus trying to say straightoff that DH is a liar.

You wouldnt believe whats happened over the weekend, DH has been getting calls saying "the family name will be dragged through the mud,think of your children" and "nothing will come of it, whats the point in going to the police" and "You will have to face the consequences if you pursue this case" and the best one was last sunday night DH dad got a call telling him that uncle had tried to commit suicide and that he,d had his stomach pumped and was in the local hospital and could he ask DH to drop the charges.
Soon as we got home DH said "bollocks" and phoned the hospital and after gving them enough information to convince them that he was a family member he was told that uncle has not been admitted at all and that they checked all the other local hospitals and he hasnt been admitted, they went back a month to make sure.

So he phoned his dad and told him and his dad immediately said it was another day it had happened on and DH said "No dad ive had them check back a month" so we now know that his dad was in on the scam as he sees his sister who sees the uncle.

So anyway DH says whoever is bullshitting me tell them its not working and that its made me even more determined that im doing the right thing.
FIL came last night and put it to me that maybe uncle was just experimenting as he was 16/17 when he abused DH.

And, "uncles girlfriend managed to make him sick and bring back the tablets so there was no need to go to the hospital"

Ermmm, ok then.

Police are coming to see DH tommorow and have told him that this psychological pressure is to be expected.

So thats the update for now, suffice to say that me and DH are very very stressed out and are dreading the phone ringing as to what scam is being put together next.

Thanks for reading.

You and your dh are a true inspiration!

Families will go to ANY lengths to remain in denial. It's all so complex and messy, but you are both absolutely doing the right thing. Missed your earlier posts - has your dh had counselling?
I was abused by my brother and my dad STILL can't talk to me about it, he pretends it never happened.....
Most of the family suck, but my mum is the best

i think that some sort of recording device or at least a notepad near the phone is a good idea. keep on keeping on, you two.
