Something different from me lovlies x

How could we ever imagine that we would be here

Yet we are

We feel like we are on our own, scared, do not have a clue what is happening, why would we this journey is one you could not imagine but yet we are here

We share the same feelings, the bond that no one else can understand

While we do not for one second condone what our loved ones have done, yet we are all here

Who can we talk to? Who can understand through no fault of our own! we have found a place to open up, discuss our situation, non judgemental, only support and understanding

For me I have found comfort as I am.not alone

We have all seen the reality and the fear of how it could be! My heart still aches for Pippin and WeeWitch x

I am and will always be grateful for the friends I have made, but also am so grateful to have found someone who just gets me, who.has allowed me to become part of her life, we speak daily, we talk of our sons and I absolutely owe my everything to her x Smile I remember your first post and all your deleted posts :-) and I absolutely treasure you xx

Smile through tears

Yes we are here, together we fight through this mess as we try to gather ourselves and move on as best we can. By my god, it's hard......

I think of the forum as a piece of sandpaper, I was a total wreck, distraught and twisted with pain and shock, I was lonely, scared. I remember going in my sons room, surrounded by his things, his clothes hanging in the wardrobe. Crying out his name as I lay on his bed cuddling his duvet...... The pain as he was led away, my boy/my best friend led off by police and thought of as a piece of shit..... (sorry but that's exactly how I felt).

Back to sandpaper thought. The forum gently eased these edges and smoothed the pain. I had a private place to find understanding. I made friends - another world opened to me. No questions, non judgmental - my private councilling. And although I am much stronger now it supports me through any 'blips' that come along - priceless...... I find great solice in the thought I perhaps help others .

The future scares me. When my son is released It will open it all up again but like a soldier after training, I feel stronger and more equipped to deal with it. At times like this I remind myself of why we are in this situation. It's not my fault and he did what he did and had/has to face the consequences.

As for my friend Upset - she's pure gold. I just find it amazing someone I've never met, never knew anything about my family, my sons crime - could offer so much..... the offer of being there day and night for me and 'my son'. What a lady - what a gem!

Sorry if I've rambled on....... It must be something in me cuppa tea. :-). Love and hugs sent out to you all this Friday x
