Hi I'm a mother struggling to cope with this process how do you keep it all inside when your son can't doesn't talk about it and is struggling himself? He was arrested 4 years ago and only charged in the last few weeks he's on a SRO before charge runs out this year.

Court is next week we haven't spoken about what's going to happen on that day and I don't know what he's going to plead or whether he's spoken to his solicitor about it yet. It'd driving me crazy with the worry . How do other mums cope if this comes into their lives please any advice ? I've tried being strong but I feel like I'm crumbling now. I'm 71 and don't usually do the age thing but I'm feeling a bit weak minded over this upcoming week

Hi, I can't offer you much in the way of advice but wanted you to know you're not alone. I'm in a similar situation albeit not as far down the line and I'm truly heartbroken and don't know how I'm coping. In fact I'm probably in denial right now and once things move on I will crumble also. I have gained a lot from this forum but feel free to dm me if you want to chat in private

It is so tough, esp if he is not communicating with you, and you having to shoulder this as an older person has added challenges too. I do hope Court goes ok. The helpline 08081000900 will be a good number to ring and talk it through.
