I know you do @Eve7 it's what brought us together. I still remember your very first post to me. They are lucky to have you. I hear you but what choice do I/we have? There is no one else.

I remember our first posts to each other @Anastasia
Thank you so much for your friendship. I'll be off to bed soon which is a very cosy thought so will say good night and hoping we dream peasant dreams.

Oh my dear @Anastasia
I dont know where to start or what to say. I feel so heartbroken for you and your boy. So disappointed and angry about a broken and inadequate MH system. A system which should have kept your boy safe from himself ... but failed.
And now, you sound broken too. Please dear friend, take care. I realise you are desperately busy at work. But honestly, if you need to take a couple of days off ... take them. And if you can get in to see your psychologist soon ... that would be good too.
I am there with you in spirit, and wish it were more.
Much love and a big hug.
Emelia 💞

Dearest @Anastasia
I'm so sorry to hear of your distraught and the position your boy is in atm.
I don't know how you are functioning at work, but hope you will be able to leave the office early today.
Did I read that your plans are to pick your boy up from hospital today?
I don't really know what to say, other than I wish I could be with you to help and support in whatever small or big way I could. However, I'm sending you big hugs, which I hope will comfort you a little.
