Ginevra Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I can't divulge all the horrifying details right now. The concise version is that someone very close in dh and my circle of concern is being brought up on very serious criminal charges. I can't even sort through all of the different ramifications and "how should we handle..." aspects. :(:(:( Dh is totally distraught and I can't do anything to help. I'm not even permitted to talk to anyone right now because I have to see what happens legally, so I'm walking around here like everything's fine but it's not.

Starr Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I am praying for you. It's such an awful thing not to be able to sort things out and not able to talk about it. The pretending everything is okay is really awful! Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalicoKat Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 praying for you! :grouphug: When my dad got the call years ago from the LA police that his brother was in jail on suspicion of homicide my dad was shocked. He flew out there. But my uncle refused to see him. And later that night my uncle committed suicide in jail. It was a horrible horrible horrible time. All of us kids flew out there to help him with cleaning out my uncle's houses. And the next shocker was discovering houses that looked like those on the show Hoarders. My dad still won't talk about his brother today. But he does say that having all of us help him still helps him cope with it all today. If you can, please let those can, let them help. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVA Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Pray, Tums, take a walk, count your blessings, tell your hubby that you love him and you're going to get thru it together, remember the good things and thank the Lord for all His blessings. Sorry you're going thru a rough experience. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I had something similar happen, but at work. Since it was a fellow school counselor taken away in handcuffs and I was there, I knew what was going on but couldn't talk about it. It was awful. The fellow counselor was accused of some horrible things he did not do, spent a few weeks in high security county jail, went to a large trial, and was eventually completely exonerated, but came out with $75K in legal fees and a lot of emotional trauma. Praying for your friend and that true justice can take place. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2read Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 :grouphug: Praying for you and for those involved in the situation. About ten years ago I went through something that I would have described as you did your situation. The knowledge of what happened, the confusion over the information and the waiting was agonizing, but it did get easier over time and now it's just a faint memory. Continue to trust in the Lord and try not to dwell on it. Trying to mentally figure things out will only drain you of your energy and waste time, although it is good to think through a plan of how you'll deal with how it will impact your life. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Just prayed. Please take care of yourself. It is an easy thing to let slip when everyone is worried about someone else. You may need to be very strong for your husband in the next few weeks and you will need the reserves. Sorry you are having to go through this. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginevra Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Thank you all. I'm still just waiting around, seeing what happens. Police talked to dh a few minutes today, so the person is probably being taken into custody this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
