Idea suggested via Maij - let's do a virtual group hug today........

I'll make a start: hug and love sent out to all my friends on here. I'm thinking of you all right now. X

Love and hugs to everyone on here, those who post regularly and those who are yet to post. We didn't ask to be on this journey but the support, love, compassion and advice makes us all the best travel companions xxx

What a lovely post to find on my check-in visit! Big hugs and much love to everyone going through this trauma, and it is a trauma. I believe that out of this we all become wiser, stronger and more compassionate, hold on to that thought! xxxx

Sending big hugs to everyone on here who need them.

I never ever imagined I'd find myself needing this forum, but I'm so so glad that it's here and that there is in essence a little family of other people who have been or who are going through the same thing. If it wasn't for this group I really don't know how I'd have got through the last year or so.

Not one of us would or could even imagine that we would find ourselves here

But yet here we are

This forum has given me so much and even though we have never met you give me strength, understanding and self worth

Smile we have so much in common with our sons and you have been such an important person in my journey

This is an awful journey to be on but each and everyone of you make it better

This is such an important and needed forum to be a part of so thank you LFF you have given us all a lifeline xx

Thankyou Upset, you give me such strength too....

I hope the people involved with Lucy Faithful take note of this post and how grateful we all are for their work. This forum has certainly kept me on track, I'd have been a very very lonely person without it.....

Upset Mum how are you I'm? I'm doing better thanks. You always reach out to me and I'm so grateful for that xx

How is your son doing? We are just adjusting to the prison sentence and taking one day at a time. I keep telling myself this is just temporary. Put one foot in front of the other xx
