First peak - sentencing finally happened yesterday - 18 months suspended sentence and 200 hours community service, 30 hours probation. Everyone asking if I'm relieved ....yes that it didn't end up him not walking back out the court, which was touch and go, but 3 more peaks to go.....

Second peak, keeping his job. They rang yesterday afternoon to formally suspend him. Why it had to be done yesterday and not this morning, but hey ho, the fight for that starts now. The irony being the sentence was suspended in order for him to keep his job and home, so let's see if that actually pans out.

Third peak, the blasted media Hanging over me and my family like a guillotine!

Fourth peak, social services. Who also called yesterday to confirm my boys are on a child in need plan. That they have a long term SW allocated.

The gift that keeps on giving! All for a few moments of irrational thought caused by addiction!



love to all - and thoughts to Tinkabell who's currentiy in the same position I was in yesterday xxxx

It certainly is a rollercoaster of emotions. We had sentencing this week too. Media was brutal but has died down already. He's been out every day since and not encountered any trouble. Touch wood. Wishing you well in your journey forward xx

Yes media were there, scribbling away! We managed to get my OH out without a picture though, so hoping that might help us a bit! Who knows, given up second guessing.

Currently sitting here waiting for our new social worker to arrive. See what comes of that! X
