Hi-hope your hubby is ok and not too badly injured…that’s one of my fears-slipping on the ice and at my ‘tender’ age it wouldn’t do my bones any good…
Thanks Moli.
Welcome to the forum Cate, . . . we have a wonderful membership here, . . we all care for one another and are good listeners, . . we wish you all the best for the future. 
I realised very quickly what a great group I had joined. I am very grateful to have met you all. Things are getting easier for me. This snow and ice is something that I could have done without it means I can’t take my dog for a walk. My husband fell on Sunday and has done some soft tissue damage and has been ordered to rest. That can’t be bad. Thankfully we do not belong to the ‘hard labour’ age.
Hi, good to meet you, you are amongst friends here…
Hi Moli and thank you for finding this thread again.
My husband came out of prison in March and had to wear a tag thingy until August meaning we had a 7pm curfew.
We are getting back to normal although we will never be able to put this behind us as he is now under a POCA investigation which means that all money we have had is being looked at as a proceed of crime. It is unfortunate that people who have been in prison for violent crimes are released to start their life again but my husband will never be free from this and all he did was sell his business to bad people.
While he was in prison he often was not given his medication and the diet is high in carbohydrates so he was in a pretty poor state when he returned he now has kidney problems and when he fell he badly hurt his ankle and is still having to go to the hospital.
You may think that well, he went to prison so he must have committed a crime but honestly he did not. Now my brave hard working hubs has been reduced to hoping that the court realise that he did not benefit from this crime and put him in prison again.
I could get bitter and twisted but what good would it do. We have to enjoy the hours we spend to gether and the hours we spend with family and friends but this is always there hanging over us like a noose.
Again this forum has been a saviour to me. We are visiting friends and family again but for a time there you people were all I had at certain times of the day or night when I thought I just couldn’t stand it any longer.
We take this forum for granted but for me at least it was a life saver.
I will keep this in my favourites and keep everyone up to date with what is going on.
I admire your strength Cate, good luck and best wishes to both you and your husband, I hope things can get back to normal and free of any worries for you both very soon…
Take care…
I`m so sorry for all your troubles - it must be so difficult to live through that. Give yourself a hug for me.

And all the best from me.

Sweetheart there is law and there is justice-sometimes the law confuses the two. And sometimes it`s easier to prosecute those who might have been silly rather than those who who caused it
Thank you ladies for those kind words. You would be surprised just what you are capable of when strength is needed and I have always believed while there is life there is hope.
The only thing this has done is made me feel unhappy with our laws and judicial system which seems to allow violent criminals and cheats to get away and people who stay to face up to their mistakes carry the can back.
I am also very upset by the amount of bad publicity at the moment regarding the police and their treatment of members of the public. Whatever happened to the policeman who we trusted and who we were proud of I remember when I lived in America, people saying that we had the best police in the world now they seem to be getting angry and forgetting why they are doing this job.
Sorry old git, your post came as I posted mine, thank you also for your warmth. I know what you are saying, it is almost as if just finding someone to blame was enough. Finding the people who actually took this money is really easy all it would take is a few key strokes on Google but they have my hubs and so they can punish us both without too much effort. Oops there is me getting bitter and twisted and I said I wouldn’t
