My dear friend Upset - wishing you a very happy birthday tomorrow and I'm sure your HC will have an extensive list of food items!!

I have been saddened to read some of the stories on here this week and my heart goes out to each and every person here whatever stage they are on this journey.

We are now a year on from sentencing and I can honestly say that without the help and support of the incredible people in this forum I don't think I would still be here today- they have held me up when I could see nothing except darkness and given me so much love, understanding and advice.

We are moving forward and I am proud of the way in which my son has not only faced up to his offence but has also taken great steps towards improving and rebuilding his life despite facing prejudices from both the Visor and his PO who are incredibly biased and judgemental...life is very different from what I had imagined but he and I are both still here and brighter days will come.

We have come through the storm and we will not be beaten.

Love and strength to everyone herexx

That seems a quick turn around on a visit Upset, gosh birthday girlie tomo - enjoy xxxxxx hope all goes well on the visit.

Me - a good week. It was wonderful to see blue skies today, after the cold, wet and windy storms we've had to endure recently. I sat and watched the clouds float by in the sky / very therapeutic, roll on summer....

My boy is good we had a real belly laugh on the phone earlier. An over the top laugh that use to irritate me - now music to my ears and a sound around the house I miss SO much....

As always sad to read posts from newcomers, I just want to give them a hug - and reassurance, they will get through this ......x what a s..t journey for sure....

Good evening Upset and happy birthday for tomommow. How nice that you get to see your son on your birthday.

I too have been sad to read peoples stories this week and send my love, strength and support to you all.

I've had a good week this week. I attended another yoga session which I really enjoyed My daughter came with me which was good as we don't often get time together without children and other family members around. I also completed the 3rd session in a 4 week worry management course which I'm doing through Talking Therapies.

One of the lessons I've taken from this whole experience is the need to look after ourselves. As we struggle with the challenges we're facing, remembering to take time to breath can help.

Happy birthday for tomorrow upset mum!

I have been struggling daily since initial child protection conference earlier in the month. You would be appalled at the things said to me and how it was handled. I'm not over it but my hands are tied, so I feel bullied, beaten and buried alive. I love how uplifting this forum is, and women within are, so I am trying not to post replies when I'm in this headspace but I couldn't read and not wish you a happiest birthday with hungriest caterpillar known to many of us. Make your birthday wish count! X

Happy birthday.!! Hope you have a lovely day.

K4 spring is on the way. That really lifts my spirits too.

I've had a good week. Short staffed at work but nothing I can't handle and it doesn't bother me now. After what we've all got going on its the least of my worries.

It's lovely and sunny here today so that always lifts my mood.

Take care everyone x

Happy birthday upset.

K4 I haven't noticed the snowdrops coming up in our garden. I will have to go and have a look. I don't like plants or flowers inside but I do like to buy daffodils for my office at work to brighten it up.

It has been a busy week taking my daughter to pantomime rehearsals on Monday and Wednesday, then they were performing on Thursday, Friday and 2 performances on Saturday. Tuesday was our only free evening and I planned to not go out at all, even when my other daughter asked us to help her move the rest of her stuff from her boyfriend's to her new house. We went to see the pantomime last night and it was a lot of fun. Don't know what to do with our Monday and Thursdays now.

Our other daughter has moved into her new house now. She said her first night felt weird as she's used to a lot of people being around and she was on her own.
