Oh Em..
I miss you. I'm in a bad way. My boys not doing well at all. I'm torn as to what to do. I can't leave here. This is awful @Emelia8

Oh no ... I am so sorry to hear that @Anastasia
I had really hoped your Boy may have settled somewhat as the days went along.
I guess you have been on the phone to him quite a bit.
How about his support worker .. have you been able to talk to him about just how your Boy is doing?
You mentioned that you had a friend who lived not too far away ... someone who may be able to call in and check on your Boy in your absence. Although I think she may have been going away for part of your absence. Maybe she is back now and could check in with him, and let you know a clearer picture. Is your other son working shift work?
I would love to just give you a call and reassure you that everything will be okay. Or to give you a big comforting hug. I am here for you though ... so please let me know if there is anything at all I can do.
You are in an awful situation right now ... and I can understand the dilemma you find yourself in. I am so so sorry you have not been able to fully enjoy this time away with your bf and parents. Have you told them about your Boy, and have they had any suggestions? I hope they are all supporting you in whatever way you need right now.
Emelia 🤗💞💜

Oh dear @Anastasia ... you sure did not need that news 🌹
Hoping you have since heard from your son and he is home from ER and is fine.
Thinking of you, praying for both your boys and sending all my love.

He just called. Too late to stitch. Glued his head and he's heading home now. He's more concerned about new job than what's happened ☹️
