So sorry to hear of the bullying thats occurring to your boy @Anastasia . What can be done? Is there a process to address whats happening? I"m sorry, I'm at a loss.
I hope you can get some sleep now, and then see what can be done in the morning.

I am trying @Emelia8
I believe changes have been made however tomorrow will tell. My poor boy didn't go to dinner and staying in his room for hours today. So upset, angry and bewildered. Spoke to them will see what happens 😔
Supposed to be there to help all of his issues not cause more torment😠
Don't know if I will sleep. Just spoke to him and will try to switch off to preserve my energy to deal with it tomorrow 😔
Thank you for listening x
I hope you have a wonderful day with your family tomorrow x

All so disappointing @Anastasia . Should not be happening! I feel devastated for your boy and heartbroken for you. To think you have him in a safe and caring environment ... only for that to happen.
I hope you managed some sleep last night. Much for you to deal with today. I know you will do what needs to be done to ensure your boys ongoing welfare. I just hope this hasnt left him in a headspace where he is unwilling or unable to remain in hospital.
How are your mum and dad? Are you able to work from home today?
Ahhh nice ... you remembered that my brother and his wife are joining me here at the resort today. 😄 I'm looking forward to that.
Take care lovely lady.
Emelia 🌷

Sorry to hear about the bullying, @Anastasia 😞 Did you manage to get any sleep?
I hope the facility will deal with the bullying quick smart and stop it.
