So Lucky

Cant believe im posting this. Ive had an awful down day so worried for my sons future. Ive just had a call from the police NFA nothing found on devices. Im sobbing with relief just phoned my husband who is on his way home from work he is sobbing too. Spoke to my son who is at uni told him this is the first day of the rest of his life. I have no doubt he did look at something and he is so lucky that it wasnt found. To that end he will complete all his counselling and we will continue to monitor him and keep having those important conversations.
I feel guilty coming on here when you are all in the midst of your own personal battles but I have to tell you how much you have helped me, how I have taken strength from you in my darkest hours. You are warriors and in this world we found ourselves in where "shame" is a word attached to us, I want you to know im so proud of my lff friends.
I will still come on here to try and help especially any mums xx

Amazing news! I'm so pleased for you all. I bet you feel like the weight of the world has been lifted. Definitely keep having those awkward conversations and give your son the biggest of mom hugs when you see him from all of us here xx

I am truly so happy for you and your hubby but most of all for your son,
He can move forward in his time at Uni and can just keep looking forward to a happy life xx
This has to be the best outcome any of us could wish for , xx
The dangers of the internet but I am sure he is fully aware of this now, he has you both standing by his side always xx

Thank you ladies. My son is back home in a couple of weeks for the summer. We will sit down and have a very long talk. I am actually glad he got caught young, hard as it has been.
I am heartened by the low reoffending stats for this crime but not complacent. He has still got to work on himself. Both myself and my husband want to stress to him he hasnt"got away with it" We have all had 6 months of hell. But in a weird way that is good, he has seen me and his dad at our lowest ebb ever. He has himself been obviously worried sick.
I think if it had all been done and dusted in a couple of weeks it may not have had the impact necessary to make the changes in himself he needs to.

Oh my gosh, this is fantastic to hear. I am so pleased for you and your family.
I can only imagine the relief you are feeling and like you say, this is the first day of the rest of your sons life. Absolutely brilliant xxx

I'm so pleased to hear this for you and your son.
I often think that the shock of the investigation itself is probably a big enough wake up call for them to seek the help they perhaps knew they needed before but didn't know how to go about it getting it or talking about it.

AWM....This is amazing news! Please don't feel bad for sharing it. Hopefully the trauma your son has caused the family will be a reminder to him how lucky he is you've stood by him and he is in a position to move on. I'm sure he is going to learn from this experience and continue to get help in the future and know where to turn if he is in trouble. You and your husband are amazing parents x
That's wonderful, I am so happy for you xx
Thanks everyone. You are amazing.Another thing I promise to do is set up a direct debit for LFF. They are literally life savers.
That is absolutely amazing. Please don't be sorry for sharing you're good news, we all take joy in everyone else's positive stories.
I'm so happy for you xxx

No Daffodil you are absolutely right, this will go on the list of things he needs to know. He doesnt know about this forum. I didnt want to frighten him with the really tough true life experiences of everyone on here.
But I will be taking a lot of what I have learnt here to educate him on what could have been his life, and what could still be his life if he doesnt commit to change.
