Thanks Ronin. I`m dreading it.

Has anyone been in a similar situation where they had to tell their partner about their past (problems)? If so, how did you bring it up?

Yes I`m in the UK. The Citizens Advice said they had no one who could advise or help. I`ve drawn a blank everywhere I`ve looked for help or advice. I get pointed elsewhere, then they can`t help. It is a never ending circle, passed from pillar to post. Sorry to hear you had a run in with the...

My past is something I wanted to forget about if possible. I feel ashamed of everything that has happened to me and think people will label me as bad, thats just the way my mind is.

Thanks Scout86. I did speak with a US attorney a few years ago. He advised I try to get my sentence reduced to less than 12 months, otherwise, he did not think I`d get in. I know I need to tell my partner but I just can`t seem to find the courage. I always see the worst scenario in my mind. I...

Thanks Ronin. I have thought about what you`ve suggested. In my own head, I always see the unhappy ending but I`ll never know until I say something. I just need to build up the courage and think of a way to tell her. No one knows about my abuse (except police and counselor) Everyone sees a...

Thanks Survivor 3, hope you're coping ok. The police are quick to charge but not helpful in righting a wrong.

Thanks Luckilee. It is soul destroying when people in power don't believe you, even though my police statement confirmed I was telling the truth about what happened to me as a kid. The Ministry of Justice has accepted it happened too but these judges are a law until themselves, looking down on...

Hello everyone. I briefly came to this site 4 years ago feeling very down, sorry I was unable to stick around. My original post is here Feel Like Ending It All In 2016 things began to look promising. My new partner wanted to move to the UK to open a business. She did and it is doing well...

My story. I'm from the UK,..... As a youngster 15 to 17 I got into petty thefts stealing candy, accepting stolen Alcahol and breaking a car window for a pack of cigarettes and a calculator. The UK had a system in place for young offenders called short sharp shock to give you a harsh regime to...
