We are here again already,
I hope you have all been keeping ok under the circumstances,
Not much has happened this week for me, work has been busy, starting to do the planning for dare I say it Christmas! Mind you it will be here before you know it
HC is doing ok, busy studying on hos degree work, he actually had an hour long video call with one of his tutors which he found really helpful, we have no visit this weekend but will see him next Saturday, something to look forward to x
No furbaby either so not sure what my weekend plans will consist off, probably venture out to some shops but nothing to exciting :-)
The weather has been really mild but we have rain here now, the clocks go back the weekend so the darker evenings will be upon us but an extra hour in bed Sunday morning that's always a bonus :-)
I hope you all have a good weekend and remember to try to do something nice for yourself
Love sent as always xx

Happy Friday x
I'm feeling a peculiar combination of sad, hopeful, accepting and melancholy. I'm just letting the feelings be. I think we're in a lull between devastating disclosures / shocks / heartaches etc. The next one won't be far away so I'm sitting with this soft gentle sadness and feeling ok with it.
Tonight I'm seeing my best friend which I'm really looking forward to. Drinks and sushi and talking through everything- not just my drama but how our kids are doing, how's she's doing, everything. I can't wait.

Upset its lovely to hear that our HC is doing well xx
Been a very quiet week here as I'm recovering from tonsillitis so haven't been able to speak without sounding like a character from Eastenders !!
Im on the mend now and trying to get myself organised but failing so far...
Son continues to do ok and we move onwards together.
Have a good weekend and as always love and hugs to you all xx

We're already living with some traumatic events, so this is added stress we didn't need.
I'm looking to find others on here with similar circumstances, where their person hasn't searched or asked for images, not knowingly shared anything & yet the police have intelligence that 1 image is on a public profile.
We've gone over everything - we both know there's nothing on his phone, and he only watches YouTube videos of trains and 80's pop.
Our adult kids know what's happened. Everybody else thinks his phone has been stolen.
My weekend is going to be a simple one.
Grateful that our home situation hasn't changed, as our kids are all over 18. But it's awful knowing your innocent, but having the finger of suspicion pointed.

Hello Friday Check In...
Today has been a very stressful day. I attended Crown Court with my OH today for his plea hearing, with the amazing support from my neighbour and my mother in law. It went well and didn't upset us as much as the first magistrates hearing.
BUT.....
My twin sister who I thought I could trust threw a spanner in the works and decided to tell my mum and dad everything that I've been going through the last 12 months so I had to then go and explain it in person. Safe to say I wasn't planning on telling my parents unless I really had to and now my weekend and happy mood has been ruined.
I hope you all manage to have a lovely weekend with as little stress and upset as possible in our situation.

Hello upset mum,
My days and nights and weeks and months are rolled into one with breastfeeding and single parenting. I bet you still remember those days for HC!
Another week of frustrations big and small survived.
Hope you all have a good weekend x

Thank goodness it's Friday, this week has been hard.
Bub84 I'm so sorry to read about your sister telling your parents. It was for you to tell, or not to and was really unfair. I hope you're ok x
Well another week has gone by for us with no word from social services on the kids seeing their dad/step dad. Im feeling upset, angry and hurt that they've not done anything for 3 weeks, and don't seem to care that our world is falling apart.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend xx

Good evening Friday check in, my life just seems to be racing by in a bit of a blur. My work is so busy at the moment that for 9 hours a day on the 3 days I work, I don't have time to think about anything other than work.
I'm pleased HC is doing well with his course Upset. My son has now completed the 1st month of the Horizon course and has found all his course mates to be supportive and friendly towards each other.
I always find October a bit of a sad month and have found myself feeling a bit low this month but think I'm now on the up again. We're coming up to the 3rd anniversary of my sons arrest but rather than let it bring me down, I'm going to spend the day reflecting on how well we've done to get to where we are today.
I love the build up to Christmas so and am looking forward to lots of Christmassy outings and events with the grandchildren over the next couple of months.
Sending my best wishes to everyone.

Hello Friday Check in,
So nice to hear from everyone just getting on with life. I hope you all have a nice weekend.
My work week was short as I took today off. I've made all the weeks short ahead of my husbands November 15th sentencing. My older son is in a volleyball tournament today and tomorrow so I've been enjoying that. My younger son is making a haunted house in his friend's basement. I get to tour it when I pick him up. My adult daughter has requested to see me and my mom alone on Sunday and I'm anxious about that.
Have a great week.

Hi my pals.
Good to hear despite some hassles you guys mention we've managed to get through another week! I've again felt saddened to read posts from people so full of sadness as they grapple in the early days of this journey...... my heart sincerely reaches out to them, we are so lucky to have each other.
The boy is ok - still working extremely hard in gardens - believe me it's not true prison work is a doddle they certainly work them hard.... but it's good for him, certainly no need for a place in the gym! So all ok there.
Good week at work - another company warming up for the Christmas rush. Been ok overall I guess.
so love dust thrown out, have a good weekend xxxxx
