Evening lovlies x

As you know I do a Friday check in with you all

I remember my first ever post, I had been lurking in the background for sometime before I found the strength to post, I was hoping to find the answers as to what could happen to my son, instead I learnt there was a community that through no fault of their own found themselves here , and I found a place I felt safe

Somewhere were I never felt I was on my own

People to be understanding, non judgemental and that gave me hope

My situation has allowed me to share my inner most feelings, to be able to talk about my offending son, my daughter who has been my strength throughout this journey

I have gained so many new friendships which I am so grateful for but also I have met one of the most kindest, beautiful souls who just got me from day one, Smile xx

I never imagined Fridays check in would become this normal, I don't do it to be nosey, or to pretend everything is ok as we know it is far from that, I do it because I do really want you to know you are all just doing ok and no matter how difficult it is we are here xx

If ever the check in gets to much please let me know and I will stop doing them xx

Love sent as always xx

Please don't stop the Friday check in. I may not post often but I read it every week and it really helps me through this terrible journey.

Definately not - carry on Upset. Yes we discuss where we are at in our varied journeys but its nice to just 'talk' about normal stuff with a sprinkling of humour now and then. It's a release....

i vote to carry on. X

I love Fridays check in's, I think it's such a kind thing to do to bring us even more together. I feel like I could reach out to you for support due to how approachable and inclusive you are :-)

I just want to say thank you so much.

We have had an okay week, it is starting to feel normal at times again, which is nice. Although we have been to a 6th form open evening for my son, which feels bitter sweet as we don't know what the outcome is yet to his offending, and I don't want him/ me to get my hopes up for his future which is sad :-( He had his whole life ahead of him...

Friday check in was one of the first things I felt able to respond to when I started to engage with the forum and I've read it every week since. I would very much like to see it continue if you feel able to keep it going.

Like others I don't respond every week but I do read it and often take the opportunity to reflect on the week gone by. We are a family and it's a great comfort to know that we are here for each other xxx
