Hello I am new to this forum. I got the knock 7 days ago.
My son is the offender, our life as we knew it and our family has been ripped apart.
I don't really know what to do he trying to get help but how do you live how to you ever carry on each day because I am finding it hard. Everyday is a roller coaster of emotions.
I have an amazing daughter who has been helping us but I worry about the toll its taking on her too.
I feel like my son is a stranger to me know not the kind caring lovely son I once knew. I will do everything I can to support him and to get help but I am struggling.
Thankyou just need so help or advive.

You've come to the right place. There are a lot of mums on here including myself. It's still very early days for you so the shock is immense but it will subside somewhat over the coming months. You son is the same lovely man he's always been so never forget that and as you learn more about what he's done and become more knowledgeable you will realise there are so many reasons for it. My inbox is always open xx
So sorry I that you have had to join us on this forum,but you will find that is the one place you can receive genuine support.
My son is also an offender. Each day has to be handled on its own. Very hard to not replan your future,but try to manage one day at a time. As a mother you want to 'help' your child,even if they are an adult. There is so much we have to learn that we don't want to.
Please ring the helpline & encourage him to do the same. You will be listened separately & both helped.
This forum has supported me in the darkest times & continues to do so.
There are several posts relating to sons,rather than partners.
Please try to do the things that you enjoy whenever possible.

Thank you for your replies.
Yes its early days and I suppose I am still in shock. Its hard to imagine the future and what it will be like. At the moment I am finding it hard to leave the house let alone go back to work, see friends and family all the normal things. I just dont know how any of us will.
I have rang the helpline and they were such a help also my son has, he has opened up about what happened and how he ended up down this path, if only he had opened up before about how he was feeling but I know you cant look back.
Thankyou for support and advice. What amazing people in this group.

I'm also a Mum of an adult son on here and echo what others have said.
The early days are very hard so please do phone the helpline and message me if I can be of any help.
The amazing people on here have kept me going through the very darkest times and there is never any judgement we are all here to help and support each other xx

I'm also here because of my adult son and know from exoerience how hard it is to see your grown up child broken and not being able to do anything to put it right. I'm here for you if there is anything I can do to support and help you.
Thankyou for your replies it really helps to communicate with people going through the same thing.
I am struggling through somehow, I am full of anxiety and don't really knownwhat to do, how to carry on.
I am concerned for my son's wellbeing. He is full of shame and remorse for what he has done and is very depressed. He has cut himself off from everyone, he does open up to me but that's it and I worry about him. He knows what he has done has now effected not only his life but family life and he can't see a way out of this. I am trying to be positive for him but ai am so scared.
