For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.
Feeling fragile
Needing Nurture

@Anastasia I am okay. My mental health nurse said my health problems stem from being stressed about son2. I am sure his behaviour directly correllates with my physical problems. If he brings out one of his weapons and the police become involved then we have a big problem. Ideas?

I cannot begin to imagine how stressed you would be. My world is in turmoil but it is not on same level. It makes sense it is affecting your physical health.
I hate to say this pea but if he is a danger to himself or others then he really should be in hospital. I'm sure you know that and I know it's not helpful hearing it. I am certain this would be heavy to carry sweetheart. My heart breaks for you and your son, it's really just not fair is it?
I'm sorry I don't have any helpful suggestions darling @Bunniekins.
Promise you'll stay safe and keep S2 safe?

@Anastasia the truth is if there were still institutions he would be housed in one he is just so sick. No meds completely rid himself of the delusions or the voices. It is a very sad situation. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to pea. I am so sick I have had a open blister now for 4 weeks just refusing to heal ... it is a tough one.

It's just so sad @Bunniekins I'm sorry and I am reaching through to squeeze you tight and give you a big hug.
No meds completely get rid of my boys voices, delusions either, he jumps at the moment if he doesn't hear me approach as depot almost due 😔 oh pea it's just awful 😔
😔 Re blister too. Not sure what to suggest sorry pea I really feel very useless to you atm. Maybe @Appleblossom and @Sophia1 might have some ideas re blister?
I have to go I'm sorry. I love you pea, promise you'll stay safe ❣️

@Bunniekins Have you tried bathing your blister in a saline solution. It helps dry it out and stops bugs. Let it breathe rather than covering it up, at least as much as possible. Its hard if you have to wear shoes etc .... I know you have a lot to deal with your son2.
Thank you friends
@Sophia1
Yes my son says similar things to your boy
So very very sad beyond words.
@Anastasia
Yep. Different presentation but still very S***
@Shaz51 You have seen enough and know what it is like and are always breezing around to give support.
Cant post much about it for confidentiality.
Feel like I have been in the wars with no end in sight.
