Family and Friends Forum

So nearly 2 years in to this journey and as many of you know my son has been on remand for several months, as he was due to be sentenced but postponed for another week I thought I had better tell some family members as I diddnt want them to find out in the media.

My son has lost his two best friends as they choose to walk away and I know how much this effected him so telling some family I was very apprehensive but how wrong was I they have been so so very kind, they were more upset because i hadn't told them sooner! They are going to support my son and us and get him through this journey, the sheer fact of understanding has really given my son a bit of positivity as he really was taken back by there kindness and love they have shown in just a short time since I told them.

I cannot express enough how this has given me more strength and how lucky we are to have them and knowing they are there for him just means the world xx

I just had to share with you all xx

Thank you Alison20

It has been a journey of hell as we all know, but knowing we have other support rather than my son just having us really does play a huge part in giving him hope , xx

Thank you Quand

Your words mean a lot x

I have just got off the phone from my son and he said he felt really emotional yesturday after I told him what the family members said he said he was overwhelmed by them wanting to be there for him, it brought a lump to my throat xx

I hope your son is doing ok and it was lovely to hear that your mum is giving you all support this is so important on this journey xx

majestictopaz, Daffodill

Thank you both x

This was the hardest part I wanted to tell them sooner but couldn't as i was so lost in this journey it takes so much out of us, I just needed all my strength for my son and my other two grown up children, but as he was due to be sentenced Friday just gone I diddnt want them to read it in the media , they have been amazing and to see them wanting to support my son and us is truly astounding xx

Now have to wait for the barrister and court to set another date but with it been Easter next week I dont have any faith it will be before then! I have yet to tell my son when he phones later!

SAL I hope your hubby's case still goes ahead as hard as it is we just need to know the sentance etc x

Thank you Daffodil x
