Hey

i really don't know what to say to you, but I just wanted to say I'm so so sorry about your brother

a tear came to my eye reading your horrific story, as a partner to someone who is in trouble for charges relating to iioc my heart goes out to you. My partner said in the first few days after the knock he had contemplate suicide. I'm so sorry you didn't get the chance to talk to your brother about all the details relating to this

keep coming on here - I've really found these forums have helped me to feel less alone x

Brown bear,

I didn't see your post but please know that we're all here for you! I'd really encourage you to call the helpline too, they're fantastic.

This is a safe space for everyone. Share your thoughts and feelings and know you're in safe hands.

From reading a reply on your post I can see that suicide has been mentioned. My partner recently attempted suicide twice. Unfortunately many men attempt it and some absolutely heartbreakingly succeed.

Thinking of you xxx
