DEAR DEIDRE: MY husband was arrested on suspicion of sexual activity with our five-year-old daughter. He is being investigated by the police.
I have protection and court orders in place, as he has constantly breached his bail conditions.
He’s been violent towards me in the past but I am struggling to overcome what has happened now.
I am 31 and my husband is 33. I feel like I am mourning the loss of my daughter having a dad.
Sometimes it is debilitating. I can’t eat properly and struggle to get out of bed. I can’t shake the hurt.
Will I ever get over what has happened? What do I say when my daughter asks for her dad?
My team and I are working safely from home but we are here to help you as always.

DEIDRE SAYS: How distressing for both of you.
These cases are hard on everyone. It won’t have been easy for your daughter to tell you.
You need to talk to someone impartial so you can explain what is happening to her dad in simple terms.
