Hi Smile



I haven't been on here for a while but I hope you're doing OK. I totally understand your feelings, I often avoid mentioning my son and I find it almost impossible to look at old photos.



Sending hugs xx

I tend to touch the photo's Lola, then say "why?" out loud.

i always talked non stop about my kids - very proud and lucky to have such a balanced family. Til those scales tipped and everything changed in a blip of time.......

It is so difficult. When with my family I no longer can say anything about my OH. I find if difficult when he is down and I need to support him, I cannot then go to anyone to support me. His family are supportive but live miles away. It is like I am single overnight.

It is so difficult. Sending you hugs. X

Oh smile hope your doing ok,

I know that feeling well, sometimes when people try to be supportive and say things such as it's like grief, I feel abit angry as if it was grief you could talk about your loved one, celebrate all the good things they've done and here how loved they were from others.

this is like grief in away but also totally different and lonely.

As far as my family are concerned, my OH is guilty until proven innocent

None of his family know, nor his work colleagues. So that is just more people I feel I am being fake with.
