Overtime you grow a thick skin and although I remain a little sensitive- I'm not bothered by other people's views, they can judge me all they like.

what my son did was appalling. But he's always took his punishment on the chin and got on with it. He's coped well in prison and I'm proud of him for that.

I know my son - they don't.

I put a MMA bag up in my garage, and I get my frustrations and anger out that way. ????????????
coping is just what we do, some days I feel like I'm just existing, but we find a way through these dark days.
my sons have my back and until we find out ???? what has went on, through court ect, I don't want to make any rash decisions, as this man I love and will protect. But also I have a little voice in my head, saying "what if".
that is the part that scares me the most, of how I'm going to react. I'm likely to explode ????.
just want this all over and done with. So I have the full truth and then can move on.

I'm not sure if the worry ever goes away. For me it's about learning to accept and grieve for what and who I've lost and to make sure I'm there for those who have chosen to stay in my life. I'm not saying it's easy but with practice I'm hoping it will become easier.
