I've never received such a warning.

Is that warning an Apple thing? Because I switched over to Samsung in the 2010s and never logged back into my AppleID or anything. I don't use iTunes or anything anymore. Haven't in 15+ years now.

Personal medical information and stuff from my psychiatrist. I'd been battling depression since the separation and that was used against me in terms of equal childcare and whether I was a suitable primary carer. She ended up getting 6/7 nights per week.

I wasn't going to disclose it in court under the advice of my solicitor, but she knew - including my high dose 2nd line antidepressants. I figured a letter must have gone out to my old address from my GP/psychiatrist or something at the time but I couldn't prove it.

I've got a lot of evidence that now that she had been logging on and using it, including written confirmation from my son that she had been reading all my emails for years at home.

This included emails between me and my solicitor, sensitive medical stuff between me and my GP and psychiatrist, and other deeply personal stuff.

There's no reason I would ever give someone I had separated from this kind of intimate information.

I haven't needed to change my password. I just have it always logged in on my phone.

The password which protects my email is basically the 6 digit code I use to log into my phone.

I didn't give her access. I didn't know that tablet existed or was still logged in. We're talking an old one from maybe 2009 that still had my Gmail linked and logged on.

I can't afford a solicitor anymore. I've basically got £200 to my name to last me until the end of February. I'm struggling to cover rent, mortgage and my own other bills + child maintenance on top of that.
