hi all,
it's been a while. things in terms of my brother are going well, he is in therpay once a week and is finding it useful and we were able to go abroad on holiday without any hick ups, though we were anxious at border control, our mum especially!
i am unwell at the moment with my own mental health issues and have been off sick from work for a month.
i was wondering if anyone was following the story of the mayor in hackney in london?
he's resigned today after a few weeks of "drama" surronding a photograph of him with his friend at a party, the issue was, his friend was arrested for having IIOC. he was given a suspened sentence and released with a fine and community service, just like my brother. however, the comments from the news articles are treating the mayor as if he has done something wrong and should be arrested himself or worse. i know i shouldn't be reading the comments because of course there will be absolute hatred in them.
the mayor has now lost his job/career, i saw in his resigantion letter that he has worked in the local governemnt for 17 years. he is now disgraced for being photographed with his friend. how does that make sense?
obviously it terrifies me if anyone ever finds out what my brother did, what that means for my job or future jobs, relationships, everything.
i am happy i stuck by my brother and i would not have done anything differently, as i've said before, i love him more than anything.
i know this has turned into a ramble! and i don't really know what answers i'm looking for here, but has anyone been triggered by seeing this in the news?
if everyone had the same views as the commenters, many of us would be seen as just as guilty, it breaks my heart, it's so wrong.

I found this really upsetting , and I won't be reading about it.
My OH had a photo taken a few weeks with a group of FM all his side, no children all adults , its kept in the family group and most know, its his first group photo since the knock. He would be devastated if FM had to resign because their in the photo with him.

I had exactly the same thoughts about it, Billion, it made me so mad that he feels he needs to resign for just being associated with the guy. What Joe public don't realise is that it's very often a secret no one else knows about until it's too late and they have gone so far down the porn rabbit hole, along comes the knock. The polar opinions about this topic are immense, which will be so much worse now because of the Sound of Freedom film.
