Feeling so sad
Notifications OFF
Today I just feel so sad -it is my person's (son) birthday and he is desperate and sad.
We have sentencing next week and are terrified of the possibility of a custodial sentence although everyone is telling us that it will most likely be a suspended sentence.
He is no monster but a troubled young man who made a mistake in one conversation on one day and will have to suffer the consequences for the rest of his life.
I do not in any way condone what he did but to see him suffering and saying that he wishes he'd never been born just breaks my heart.

I am so sorry what you are going through.
Your son is your son and you love him no matter what.
Of course he is a wonderful person and deserves redemption.
See it this way: Next week you have a conclusion to this horrible journey. After that, you can rebuild and your son's life will get better.

Seaside, I feel for you so much I am also going through it with my son he has only just turned 18 and I hate the though of this being the start of his adult life, but this does not have to ruin their whole life, let's just hope and pray the press do not print on either of our sons. We can't let this define their (or our) lives forever.
Sending you all the strength you need to get you and your son through this xx

Feeling for all of you. I'm going through the same thing with my son and few so sad today. He is still RUI since September and has been totally isolated since then. It's dreadful. Sending love.

Hugs to all you fellow mums today; I've said it so many times on here but I wish we could all sit with a coffee and talk and talk. It's heartbreaking watching our beloved sons go through this.
I agree that this won't define their lives forever, in a bizarre and awful way it's good that they've been caught now and have chance to rebuild. At least, this is the hope I'm clinging to!
We won't break, we've got each other and we can get through this xx

Thanks for all your lovely words.
Today would have been my beautiful Mum's birthday-she left us far too soon and she was truly the bravest person I've ever known.
She taught me to be strong and one of the last things she said to me was this quote:
"If ever there is a time when we are not together promise me you'll always remember that you are braver than you believe and stronger than you seem "
Sending love and strength to everyone xxx

Lovely words, Seaside - and my goodness, I think we're all finding strength that we didn't know we had! xx
Lola I totally agree -this is the hardest thing any of us have ever faced I think.
This journey does find your hidden strengths. I can dither at times but as regards my decisions to keep in touch with my son and stand by him as much as I can - concrete, my strength is rock solid!
Absolutely Smile how could I ever abandon and walk away from my son ?
I have been really struggling and thinking that I won't survive this if it results in a custodial sentence but I realise that I have to continue to do my best for him however hard that will be.
