Guilt
Notifications OFF
Do other people suffer with guilt. I go over my sons crime in my head and think of family pressures at the time, could they have possibly sent him down this route. Could I have stopped it somehow - crazy as I was completely in the dark it was happening. Was I over protective as a mum?
Ive been told SO many times I'm a brilliant mum but these worries and doubts continue to haunt me. If I'm such a good mum why is my boy in prison.

Smile I have the same thoughts all the time I had no idea and now I question myself how did I not notice i knew he was struggling for the last few years with is mental health and tried to help my son it's just heartbreaking x
yes, I do. We only had the knock this week & my head feels mashed up. Guilt that I could of done something to cause this happening to my lovely family. So many emotions & struggling to make sense of it all. Stay strong Xx
I just wanted to reach out and say I am also a mum going through this and I have those thoughts every single day, so you're definitely not alone!!
Big hugs to all the mums going through this it is heartbreaking!!

Hi lovely ladies, I too have these thoughts and, most of the time, I try not to feel guilty - however at my lowest moments I question where I went wrong. We are a close loving family and I can't see anything that has led my son to this, but here we are totally broken.
I'm interested to know whether other mums feel angry? I am devastated, but am so angry with my son for what he's done - I've spent all these years trying to be a good mum and my kids have always been at the centre of my world and have been my priority. Now I feel cheated and angry and betrayed and am not sure that I can get over it and have any sort of relationship with my son, or whether I even want to. He's RUI so I have no idea what the future holds but right now I just want to walk away.
Hugs to all xx
