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

Dear @creative_writer
I only studied it to help me through my sons when I got divorced and one had cancer he recovered from. Iv had psychotherapy for many years from a bad mother and grieving out my personal journey through that time.
My youngest son is quite vulnerable and not coping. I paid for him to have 24 psychotherapy sessions when he was about 10 but it's clear he needs trauma therapy and probably one of you social workers to manage his life for a long time. There is nothing I can do because he's 30 last week. He is an adult and hasn't spoken to me for Bout 4 years.
I want him to have the Judith Richards traa therapy and a prominent Psychotherapist has told me he will see him for free ( !! )
