Struggling to cope
Notifications OFF
As many others. I've been lurking in the back ground for months trying to come to terms with what's happening but I m struggling .
My son got arrested in august 2021for distribution of a cat A and released under investigation . I found this forum and have read every post and searched Everything . I took too much on board too soon and now I'm struggling. I'm under the doctor whom has been great but put me on anti depressants. They help me sleep but that's all . He told me at the time of arrest all that he had been doing. The police took his devices so we are waiting on charges . Some family members know and are being supportive but I'm struggling to tell my side of the family as I know they won't cope so I've got that as an extra worry .everyday is living hell , as I say I'm struggling ..I've contacted LFF helpline to cry and ramble on but nothing is helping the pain . So thought I'd try the forum to see if it helped xx

Hi Sad Mum
Sorry to read how much you are struggling this really is such an emotional rollercoaster that we are all on x
Have you thought about a counsellor to help you with how you are ?
Keeping this all bottled up is not good for you
The timeline of all of this really adds more pressure also
How is your son doing?
Just wanted to send hugs to you xx

You are definitely not alone and this forum is great for information, advice and support for non offending partners and their families, but sometimes the stories and information can be a bit overwhelming. It does get easier, but there can still be days when it's hard to find the joy in life.

Hello Sad Mum,
No, you are not alone xx
We all struggle to greater or lesser degrees, and are here to help you as much as we can.
We're several months post sentencing but I'm going through a bad patch, doesn't help clearing out my son's house but I know if I hang on, things will get better. Sadly that's the nature of things, ups and downs and the downs are hard but take as much support as you can and try to stay strong xx
