Starr,

Totally relate, ever since his arrest, all l hear is he's doing great with his job, he's nearly 21, how time flies and the worst when he passed his apprenticeship with a distinction.. his uncle saying how proud he is of him.. l want to say how proud l am but there is this big big cloud hanging over us... l am so proud of him and to finish his apprenticeship with all this going on was outstanding.. he ho

Dad in Limbo

I just keep thinking whenever this nightmare reaches a conclusion things are still not going to be ok. The damage is already done and can never be removed.

Hi Starr,

I also had a similar experience recently where a neighbour was telling me how good my kids are etc... it is so hard isn't it. Sometimes I think I can't believe it is true and this is our lives now :-(

Hope you're okay xx

I totally understand. I dread people asking about my son, in fact I've had to cut off contact with some of the old school mums because I couldn't trust myself not to sob. Most of my family don't even know. It's a hard act to keep up

Same with me. I have gone from been very proud of the young man I though was son was to being sad when someone tells me how wonderful he is. I have few friends who have lost their sons through illness in their early twenties. I am so upset that they lsot their sons so young and my son messed up his life. Nobody knows how this will end for him.
