Thank you @Former-Member
I just "chatted"to a lovely SANE councillor.
He was very kind and helpful. It's so difficult today for me to focus on my job.
It's a dreadful situation here, I am trying so hard to keep my :pile_of_poo: together but I'm scared I'm dangling on the edge

Dear @Anastasia ... so sorry today has been so awfully difficult. Glad you were eventually able to get through to chat and that they were helpful. I am so sorry I havent been around more for you. Been a constant flow of visitors today from 9.30am onwards. A brief respite about midday, then some unexpected visitors half an hour later. They just left and I have more calling in at 3.30pm. I am so peopled out, its really hard. And that has meant I havent been around here as much as I would have liked.
Wondering whats happening with your boy, if he has been admitted to hospital again, or still waiting for that to happen. Is he safe? Are you safe? You sounds so sad, worried and helpless right now. I really feel for you ... my concern for your welfare is as high as it is for your boy's. I hope you are able to ensure your boys safety very soon, because its simply too much for you to deal with as things currently stand.
Emelia 😔💞
