So sorry to read this but totally understand. I think I've said to you before in threads that my heart breaks for the parents of young men who have become caught up in all this. You are obviously a devoted dad and your posts are always respectful and level-headed and I imagine they have helped a lot of parents on here. It is so sad that some people are stepping back. I feel similarly and rarely post now. Look after yourself.
Go well, dad in limbo, and your son.....may justice come
Dear Dad in Limbo,
Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know how you’re feeling. We’re sorry to hear that the wording in some recent posts has affected you, and we’re saddened that it has led you to step away for now. Your wellbeing and sense of safety here matter deeply to us.
We also want to acknowledge the immense strain that nine months of uncertainty can place on a family. Navigating this period after the knock is incredibly difficult, and it’s completely understandable that certain conversations may feel overwhelming or unsettling. Your feelings are valid, and we hear the impact this has had on you.
Since you joined the Forum, you’ve been a thoughtful, supportive presence in the community, and we’re grateful for everything you’ve contributed. We also appreciate you making yourself available via DM to those you’ve connected with.
Take gentle care of yourself. Our thoughts are with you, your family, and your son as you continue through this difficult period. If you ever feel ready to rejoin or need support from the team directly, we’re here.
Kind regards,
The Forum Team
