Morning hope your all OK! My thing playing in my head this morning should our person just carry on as normal as possible untill charges or not? So My son is still going to work as normal but as distanced himself from his small friend group when invited out not going but I can tell he kind of wants to but feels obviously on edge and guilty of what's going of and obviously if or when it does come out feels like he's lied to them all the time but then he doesn't want them to think something is going on with him not going to events with them if that makes sense? I don't know what's best I don't know how he can carry on as normal with friends with all this hanging over him lieing to them he's absolutely gutted at the thought of loosing his friendship group they have been friends since young and he will definitely struggle when this happens I know he will. It's soo bloody hard and heartbreaking his friends are such good lads.

Aww it's such a shame isn't it, I can totally see why he may want to distance himself, although it would probably be better for him being out and mixing with them. It's all so hard. My son is 16 and still at school at the moment, I'm so scared what is to come though :-(

Thinking of you xx

Yes I did think that especially because he has had to move out I think it would do him good socialising with his friends but then of it gets out what are they gonna say or do I dread to think. It's so scary he's 18 and a young 18 at that the thought of him living alone is heartbreaking kills me every night thinking of him.

How is you son hun? How are you? How are you coping? X

It's awful isn't it. Has he moved out because you have younger children then? Aww I hope he's okay, he's so young still :(

I feel like we are going along in a bubble of normality at the moment. My sons just started his GCSE exams.

How long ago did you have the knock? X

Hi crushed, yes I didn't have a choice I have a younger child aswell and he is not aloud unsupervised around anyone under 18.

Yes it's awful he is still young but obviously won't be looked at like that cus he is 18.

It scares me him being on his own every night lonely in his own thoughts heartbreaking.

The knock was 5 months ago still feels like yesterday.

How long ago was your knock?

Are good luck to your son for gcse xx
