January 13, 2014: The day I realised my husband was a monster
January 13, 2014, started as a typical day for me. By the end of it, I’d realised my husband was a monster. Then began a horrifying nightmare that engulfed me, my two daughters and my whole family. It was the soul-destroying actions of a vile predator that led to our lives becoming a legal living hell.When you've been married for 12 years, you don’t imagine that your husband is drugging you at night so he can abuse your daughter without you knowing.
The minute she said it, I knew. A pit opened up in my stomach. I told him, “Everything she says, points to you being inappropriate with her.” He took off without saying a word and that’s the last I saw of him until court. He was arrested that night in the Blue Mountains.Because of the legal living hell my life became for the next four years, I do have times where I wish I’d found him and, instead of taking the legal route, pushed him off a cliff.
I would organise my kids, take time off work, and spend three hours of my day getting to and from court – only to find that the hearing was put off for another six weeks. In November 2017, after I had waited four long years for justice, 45-year-old Timothy James Stewart was finally convicted and sentenced to 32 years in prison. May he rot in jail for his crimes.
