Hopefully final sentence date.
Update..
Screw this.. for crying out loud, I received an email around 5 pm yesterday from the Witness Assistance officer that the sentencing will be delayed till 2pm today instead of 9:15am.
We already went to part 1 of sentencing about 2 weeks ago and that started at 2pm and the courts close either 4 or 4:30 so we had to schedule for today to give judge time to think etc.
It's been nothing but extremely stressful and the other week Monday the first day I was at school since sentencing pt 1 my principal because he knows I've been going through this a long time and he's curious mentioned he wants to come and see how it plays out/ support me, so I made sure the Witness Assistance Officer and the solicitor were ok with it. Then on Friday last week he got back to me again and said he may not be able to make it unless someone could take an excursion to a town an hr away.
Forward to yesterday, he said he'll be late but will try and get there around 12:20 but I emailed him after I found out it's been delayed and then called the school this morning, he apparently won't be in all day.
I'm unsure if the rest of the day is so he's a court with us or the excursion like the office lady's said.
It's stressing me out and I've heard nothing from him at all, however he has a mobile number in his email and I'm debating calling it, detective mentioned it wouldn't hurt abut I don't want to come across needy or whatever...
Sorry for my tangent just ugh.

Hi @Anonymous_Owl,
Welcome back to the ReachOut Youth Community and thank you for your courage in sharing an update on the court sentencing. It's understandably stressful to find out that the sentencing will be delayed especially after such a long process. It's clear that your principal is a strong source of support for you and that you want him to have the correct details so that he can be there with you.
I'm wondering if there's anything you feel able to do to look after yourself after what has happened for you?
Hey @Marimo-RO
To be honest, I'm not sure, it's just been a long day and incredibly stressful afternoon.
Hi @Anonymous_Owl,
I can see how exhausting your day has been and understandably there is some uncertainty on what self-care looks like for you at the moment. I want to acknowledge your courage again in sharing such a stressful day with us. We're here if you want to check in this evening as well.
