Feeling sad today. I have come such a long way since the knock over 2 years ago. We separated but remain on good terms with me supporting contact. However, now he is in prison we are awaiting a decision about my son having contact. So myself and his friend visited today. The visit went well but I ache a little for being the family we once were and doing ordinary family stuff like marking Father's Day. I lost my dad at 12 and had a pretty tough time afterwards. It feels like, once again, those dreams of family life have slipped away. I am sort of ok, coping well but feeling a little sad right now. Thinking of all you other mum's or children feeling a little the same.

Sorry it's been a bad day.
I know how you feel, the longing and what could have been.
I still don't know the outcome if will be prison or not, my knock was almost two years ago now.

Thanks for the replies. I am glad yesterday has passed.

I am at least thankful that we are asfar along as we are. He was told prison was very unlikely but it seems the particular judge he had has a reputation of being very harsh in these cases. Even though we are separated it was a horrible shock at first. I have adjusted and our son is coping as well as you could hope. I hope for a day when my son is able to have a more average relationship with his dad, They have always been close.

Thinking of you both on your own journeys.
