Where do I start.
In 2018 I was stabbed multiple times by a stranger after an altercation.
Ended up with me being air lifted to the royal London hospital where they saved my life. The stranger stabbed my lung and tore my diaphragm.
The trial starts next month. I am the strong one of the family but I need somewhere to vent xx

I am grateful. I didn’t know the person. I’m just seeking strength for the coming months as I’ve no one to turn to. My parents are amazing but old and I don’t want to burden/stress them

Omg that is so terrible I’m so sorry you have to deal with that. I wish I could give you a hug the trial of course must be triggering for you I can only imagine. Do you have a physician or counsellor you can talk to about this and how your feeling? They are trained to deal with these types of issues and can really be a great place to start to finding some external supports. I know what you mean about family, they mean well but sometimes they don’t know what to say or how to help

It sounds like the trial might be whether the person was guilty or not? I have no idea. Being on the witness stand it is hard. Answer the questions directly only answer what they have asked don’t add anything else.

My gp has known obviously the situation from the start. I focused so much on getting back to work and a normal routine.
Crunch time is now here. Trial start’s January and my nerves are kicking in but I love my family to much to burden them with how I feel - if that makes sense

I’m not trying to encourage you to talk about it more than you want to I respect your privacy etc. So only say what you want to say.
It sounds like there weren’t any witnesses.

I’m just angry. The pre trial was today and my DC hasn’t bothered notifying of the result because he is on holiday till the 15th (email wouldn’t hurt). It’s been a hard 4 years fighting for something I shouldn’t have to. I’ve no faith in the justice system, been a Shitty day that no one wants to hear about

Sounds like a shitty day and I’m sorry. You can’t do anything but wait until he says some thing. I’m glad that you came here and that you’re talking about it. I don’t know if you have sober days, weeks, or months, I do know that breaking a sobriety will only hurt you.
And if you have a drug/ drink of choice that you are using it would be good for you to stop before the trial.

We will stand by you through the trial you can count on that. You can come here and you can talk as much or as little as you want to about it you can get the support that you want. You don’t have to talk to your family about it. We can be your family that you picked.
