Morning Tigeractive

So sorry that you have joined this forum but honestly this is where you will get some good advice and support x

Your emotions will be all over the place and that is normal

There are many of us that are mums on here so totally understand what you are going through also many that have partners who can offer you guidance etc xx

Also I would reach out to the helpline xx

Hugs sent and you are not alone in the journey xx

Hey Tigeractive,

I'm sorry you find yourself here. It's a lot to take in and can be hard to find the words to explain how you're feeling or even speak about the circumstances surrounding it. Just know that there are lots of us here with various stories, nobody will judge you or your son and we will help answer any questions you have when you know what questions you have to ask. This is an increasing crime and although it feels like everything had come to a standstill, life does go on. The first few weeks are very difficult and feel surreal! Give the helpline a call for some reassurance and when you're ready please ask us anything you want to know or even tell us how you feel. You're not alone xx

Hello Tigeractive,

So sorry that you have found yourself here with all of us, but you will get a lot of help and support from many of the fantastic people here.

There are quite a few mums here as well as partners and other relatives, all of whom will help with your queries or just simple support if you need to cry, vent or whatever - although I don't post often, I have found this forum so helpful when I'm feeling really down.

As has already been said, do phone the helpline - they are (sadly) used to dealing with people in our situation and can really help.

Hugs to you, we are all here to support you.

hi Tigeractive - you'll find a whole variety of people on this forum, all ages, all relations, different circumstances, different stages in their journey. We will do our best to help + support you.

The early days are foul and all the emotions you feel are exhausting as your life is plunged into shock and disbelief.

As many will say - just be kind to yourself - (try) not to take everything on board and let each day unfold. As hard as it is - (try) not think too far in the future. Overloading your mind with "what if's" is exhausting....

big big hug sent x

Hello,

Sorry you're here xx

I'm a mum too.

We are 5 months in.

The first few weeks are a new hell, but the waters do clear and you will begin to function again. Give yourself time.xx

This is one heck of a journey to be forced into but there are so many people here to support you.

Lots of love xxx
