Well this morning was a shock to the system when I left home at 5.30 this morning for work I could feel how cold it was, in the car I had ice on the windscreen and the temperature was 0! it's been a beautiful sunny dry day all be bloomin chilly!
Work has been busy but again has flown by, my eldest is off out later on some Halloween fest with some friends! people get paid to scare the crap out of you! Haha I do that for free every morning I wake up!!! ;-)
Have a visit tomorrow with HC it's an afternoon visit on my own (lucky him) the money bag has been re filled so hopefully he can have some nice bits to eat, he is doing well continues to study hard in his modules for his degree xx
I hope you all find something nice to do over the weekend and as always remember how amazing and incredibly strong you are xx
Love sent as always xx

Hello, Friday check-in,
Upset- I hope your daughter enjoys the haunted house and that you have a nice visit with HC tomorrow.
This weekend is Thanksgiving in Canada. We will be cooking a turkey tomorrow and having my husband's family over for dinner. Sunday, the kids and I are going to my sister's to celebrate with my family. My husband is unable to come because of his bail restrictions with minors other than our children.
I've started a new sewing project. It's a sweatshirt and sweatpants in matching peacock blue fabric that I've nicknamed "the winter uniform". I will get a lot of wear out of it as I like to get into something cozy right after work.
I hope you all are doing well and enjoy the weekend!

Hello Friday check in!
I spent a couple of mornings in the office with real people this week instead of at my home office - it was lovely to see familiar faces after 7 weeks at home. Of course I was anxious as it's the first time I've left him alone for more than half an hour since his attempt on his life, but he was fine, and so was I. I'm glad to have wonderful supportive colleagues.
We have spent some time talking about things this week - the offence and how he got to that point - he still finds it hard to talk about but we are getting there. The NHS mental health team have signed him of as (in their words) there is nothing more they can do - his anxiety isn't going to go away until this is over so they've basically washed their hands of it.
busy weekend coming up - Flu jabs all round tomorrow (90 year old mother and the pair of us), Sunday is looking at a prospective wedding venue with youngest which will take our minds off except he doesn't know if he will be coming to the wedding which breaks my heart.
Try and have a lovely weekend, wherever you are on this journey - hugs to all xx

Hello my lovely ladies.
Bit of a mixed bag week for me. Son had assessment meetings and fingers crossed he can begin a treatment plan shortly. During our conversations I can see he's opening up emotionally and I'm extremely proud of him for that.
As for me, I'm ok - but you ladies know how it is sometimes......

Hello All
Been a quiet week for us, meeting with solicitor to discuss sentencing. OH should have been going to court on Monday but he hadn't been listed. Apparently there is no court time to hear his case! I now just want it over with and try and move on be it very differently. Have a feeling a family member from my side will turn up for the sentence. I'm guessing not to support me or OH but to report back to the family and no doubt add a few details that are untrue. Before this journey I trusted my family and thought they were kind and compassionate but now I don't know.
Upset Mum - enjoy your visit tomorrow and look forward to hearing what's on the menu for HC.
Take care all and hope you find a little bit of peace this weekend.

Hello friday check in
A little late this week, had a huge headache after work yesterday and working all over the weekend, so no break for me, but I will survive. Just a gift that keeps giving.
Nothing much to report, still going to line dancing and learning new dances keeps me out of mischief. My daughter has gone the Germany which is making me anxious. She has said she is old enough to not have to give me details. So patiently waiting til Monday when she returns. So really at least work is a distraction.
I hope everyone manages to have a good week. Xx

Hello Friday Check in, I enjoyed a good week away last week visiting family but have found that my mood has been a bit low after returning home. I just keep reminding myself that it's 'ok to feel all the feelings' and that's it's ok to not be ok.
Sending best wishes and strength to you all.

I'm new to the forum, having just had "the knock" yesterday, awaiting my post to be approved.

It's been one of the most diffucult weeks. Starting last sunday with me reading his psych raport from his first time in therapy after offending. (this year he reoffended) I had asked for it earlier and now i got to read it in full ad it was awful. It stated the P word in the diagnosis. Something that had not been mentioned to me. So far everybody had been saying it isn't proven that these offenders also have this. And now it's there black in white. a Raport from his forensic psych team from 2015-2018. I have had anxiety attacks every day since, i feel like my body is in a constant state of fight or flight. I wish i had known, it's so distressing.
I had my last group stop it now meeting tuesday and it was just me and another lady that were the ones that stuck it out for the entire series. She's been a great support and we are staying in touch.
