Afternoon lovlies x
Thank goodness its Friday, it has been a full on week at work, the week has flown but I have definitely earned my wages!
Just catching up on the forum and am saddened to see so many new members who find themselves here , as hard as it is the one thing I would say is to first and foremost remember no matter how hard this journey is we are here to offer help and support, remember to also look after yourself
I had a hour long call with HC last night, he continues to do well, he got his TMA results for his last module and did exceptionally well, so please for him, on another positive note he received some really good feedback from his tutor, that gave him a little boost knowing that he is seen to be more than a prisoner, obviously those that know and love him know that without even questioning that know he is so much more than his offending, but he said having someone else see him means so much, that really made me want to just give him a huge hug aww , no visit this weekend so will ensure he gets lots of hugs on next weekends visit xx
This weekend for me consists of food shopping tomorrow and then just wind down and re charge, no furbaby either
I hope no matter how difficult this week has been for you , remember to take some well deserved you time xx
Love sent as always xx

Well done to our HC, I think an extra snack next visit is in order! Really pleased.
Pleased and proud of my boy too. Had several sessions of his therapy program and although 'opening up' has proved challenging at times - he sounds very positive. This is exactly what he needs - such a shame he's had to wait SO long to be put on a course. But at last it's happening.
As for me - yes all good.....busy week with one thing and another but nothing to stress me out - which is always a good thing.
So keep warm my friends. Pour a Baileys, snuggle up in a blanket and do your absolute best to relax xxx

Sounds like your son is coping very well and well done to him for his studies and results. It's lovely to hear the positive's in this situation.
Week has been hard with sentencing on Monday and the treatment received by family members. My family members have left some Whatsapp groups I was in for the family, so I have now removed myself for all that were missed. Plus have been told that the family relationship has broken down and they can't see pass my deceit (I didn't tell them what was going on for over a year) and that I have chosen to support a convicted P*****.
Feeling extremely lonely today, I have no idea what my future will be.
Sorry for rumbling, xxx

Upset and Smile - glad to hear your boys are doing well and you're keeping busy
Lonely - we're all sending hugs
Our week has been up and down with bail extended for a further 3 months, but some happier news today - the OIC in our case has allowed him supervised access with the grandkids, only for 2 hours on Christmas Day, but it means we can have a proper family day and I can look forward to it instead of dreading it.
Thanks to my daughter for making the call to ask the OIC - it must have been so difficult for her but we are all supporting him as much as possible for which he is grateful
A weekend of Christmas shopping, Strictly and wine calls! A little normality in this shit show that has become our lives
Wishing everyone out there strength and sending hugs xx

Evening all
Upset and Smile - glad your boys are doing well x
Lonely - sorry how your family are treating you. My mum and dad and my sister do not know about my OH, even though it was his sentencing was in the media. Luckily though it didn't appear in the local paper that my parents get as we are on the border, and they don't read the news online. It's difficult when I visit in case anything slips out as I don't intend to tell them, and there's no reason to. You are not alone, feel free to message me x
Lost - that's lovely news that you'll be able to spend Christmas Day as a family x
My week has been extremely busy. We are having a reunion at work in a couple of weeks and it has fallen to me to send out the invites to former pupils with no help from the other office staff. I haven't done any of my normal work.
My weekend involves being on the lookout for white wool. There is a Christmas tree festival at a church in the village where I live and the knitting and crochet club I go to have been asked to provide our own Christmas tree. I am going to make some snowflakes and a star for the top - I have the yellow for the star and I'm surprised I haven't got any white wool in my stash but I can't find any.

Hi, I'm going through this for the 2nd time. It's been 3 years since the 2nd knock and we are still waiting for the pre sentencing date. The stress is unbelievable, even though we are divorced. He's still my adult child's Dad and is around alot because he's Autistic and has severe ME. I'm feeling particularly stressed this week. The ex left me to the benefits system. Complete nightmare on the best of days. I've been over paid by UC because they are completely incompetent. It's £2500. I have no idea how much I'm going to have to pay back and when it will start. I'm going to have to sell my car which will hopefully pay about £1500 but as I'm also disabled, it'll leave me completely stranded. I can't get to GP, hospital, dental appointments without a car from where I live. I'm wondering what the point is. X
