My Son was marched out our house over a year ago now. The feeling of desperation and utter despair I felt, he was/is my best friend - utter devastation.

i couldn't comprehend his crime - how could he do this, we have a lovely family, he was now deemed a monster, our lives were ripped apart, my god - id never thought of taking my life but I just wanted everyone to go away and leave me alone, but I came close to it believe me.

I searched on the internet / searching for information on this type of crime - I came across LFF. I desperately wanted some understanding, you feel so alone. I was terrified of joining the Forum but took the plunge.

How it gave my life balance. People talked about their experiences and I realised I was not alone. I had some support at last, confidence crept back in my life as I made new friends, friends that were going through the same as me.

Suppose I just want to thankyou to the brilliant people that run this charity and the lovely ladies that contribute. You all give so much to each other perhaps without realising it!

So sending love and wish you all the best in the new year xx keep strong, keep brave x

I'd normally say happy new year but with it all hanging in the air. I'm not so sure if happy new year is the word I'm liking right now. Hope your well.

Hear hear !!

thank you everyone / your input to this has meant the world to me and I wish the best for you all in 2022 . I'm starting this year with nervousness it's been 14 months since the knock and sentencing is now this month . The future is very in uncertain. For those just entering this journey and especially if you have kids .. take a day at a time and make each day normal and routine as you can. Big struggles ahead for me and my nearest when this hits the press in the next couple of weeks but all the best to you all xx
