Hi Upset and all on here,

Upset I hope you have a great time with the fur baby and lovely to hear your son is doing well.

This week has just flown by!!-I managed to spend a few days with a very dear friend who has been an absolute rock throughout all of this nightmare and came home feeling very refreshed.

Today we had some good news which is that the frankly horrible and judgmental Visor has been " moved on" and my son has now been assigned to another one who hopefully will be a bit more helpful

Hello friday check in

Glad you have your furbaby this weekend Upset.

Crossing fingers that the new visor is better Seaside

Will be thinking of you k4

I went away last weekend and had a ball. Just forgot about everything and it was a lovely xmas market. This weekend I am chilling and working. Nothing much to report really. Been working all week. Just got my furbabies to keep me warm.

I have put up a post about the virual drinks next week. Hope you can join me. X

Just want an end to it

Hi all,

ahhh how lovey upset that your conversation just flows now!



k4 good luck!!!! We are all with you..,

seaside Fingers crossed for a better VOSR

it was a good week till last night when my son told me about the probation officer and uni, I have processed it more now and got my head around it! I'm annoyed as his first probation meeting was 45 mins, she said double the time of normal and he poured his heart out about how he felt the pre sentence report, although was good. He wasn't able to express his regret etc and the 2nd session she says. "Oh, I've completed your risk assessment, I've gone off the pre sentence report. Wow! How to feel heard and supported. As well as thinking he was going monthly counselling, not weekly (huge difference between 9 sessions and 36) Anyway, I feel like the boxing gloves are up ready for that fight.

got some nice things planed for weekend, daughters birthday so I'm going to think about it Monday..

Lots of love for the weekend for you all.

Evening ladies - had a great week, with quality family time, which gives me great comfort and happiness. My life at times, feels just how it was, but of course it never will be, I just cannot believe how far we've come.......

As for my son, yes he's fine and coping. We have good phone calls which gives me peace in this mad situation we are in.



I send a sprinkle of love across you all ....

Hi all

Not been a bad week. Went for a Christmas meal with the crochet club - I had fishcake for starter. Turkey with all the trimmings and cornflake tart with pink custard for pudding. I didn't get home until 11pm - we just sat talking after we had finished the meal. I needed to get home for my 15 year old daughter but was having such a nice time to leave - she was still up when I got home, she said she wanted to make sure I got home before she went to bed.

My other daughter had her 20 week scan and I went with her. She's having a girl.

Got a busy weekend. We're going to the pantomime tomorrow and more Christmas shopping on Sunday. I'll also need to find time to iron school uniform which I always do on Sunday.

Aww Happy Birthday to your daughter enjoy spending time together x

I can just imagine how your son felt incredibly brave of him to pour his heart out just a shame the PSR was done before he fully opened up, when my son had his he was on remand had 2 hours with a man he had never met and had to give his opinion on my son, to be fair his report was very supportive , your son has you by his side and that is so much more x dont let this take you back a step , you will all get through this x

Thank you Upset, she can't wait to be an auntie. We've been sorting out her own house for the one who's expecting and my 15 year is already planning sleepovers.

When I saw the cornflake tart on the menu, just had to try it (don't like Christmas pudding anyway).

Hi, I haven't really posted before.
I have had one of those weeks where I'm overthinking all possible outcomes. I have stopped contact since my dad got out on bail for distribution of indecent images ans Xmas is going to be a weird one. I was writing cards and it was a fight in my head about if I should send one. He says it's all a mistake and it was an accidental download once over a year ago.
Just want it all to be over now.

Hello.

It's my 1st day of the foreseeable future of this nightmare. Partner (accused of PoII early this morning) and he's gone to stay at a friends tonight.

I'm just doing some uni work whilst the toddler is getting some good rest from her mad antics at nursery, tomorrow me and daughter are off to a baby club and then seeing my family.

I'm glad you are all okay, it's reassuring that life goes on for you all, I'm hoping the same for me and daughter x
