Morning All 👋💕
Looks to me like there is a need for this thread, to help bring together parents who know the pain of having adult kids who are struggling with mi conditions.
I will tag a few of our regulars to get some discussion going, but please feel free to tag others in, and add resources as you find them.
Cheers - F&H

Hi @Anastasia
Thank you for the coffee that i missed 😄 very kind of you...and hi @MumNeedsHelp welcome (i know it's bit late but just found time to check my messages. I had some difficult times with my son 😔. Taken to the hospital by police but been discharged in 10 days with the news " he doesn't have any mental illness "...ohhh really!!!
So dissapointed...Now he is out in the community without any support and the system is waiting for another episode for him to come back...

O @MumO I am so sorry to read this.
Words fail me, it really is disgraceful when help is so needed but it's just not forthcoming from the medical professionals 😔
We are all here for you, I'm sure you'll keep pushing forward for your son and we are here should you need a cuppa, cry, vent or otherwise. Take care 🤗
@Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @MumNeedsHelp @Mumslove all here 💕
