Hi, We have a new normal, it's in my head still every day, but more a passing thought then a obsessive thought as it was in the beginning.

He has all his friends still, just finished uni and has a job. Engages in everything.

I do find it hard and have the conflict of being so proud of his achievements but lots of feelings around this moment in his life. However, it was a moment and I don't believe anyone should be judged for 1% of their life if they show remorse, reflect on it, lots of therapy and courses and you can see the progress. I sometimes go back to the article I posted below or his letter to the judge to understand the process and how far his come.

We also have to understand that these kids where thrown on line a few years ago to do everything! So much education has to be done around this for our future generations and not just "Don't share pictures" I think a few years ago we was very into keeping girls safe in this message, which is so important. however, we need to tell everyone the reality of this to protect all our young people.
