Frankie sounds adorable, sounds like she's attached to your Son already Denise.

I'm sorry about your Mum, it's times like this we all need a hug

Great news about the little pup!
Animals are genuine therapy. Many charities advocate animals as therapy for severely traumatised or diabled people. Just stroking something warm and soft and entirely non-judgemental is good for your mental wellbeing.
I have two cats, which we got from the RSPCA about a year ago. Prior to that we had two very old cats, and they just seemed to know when one of us was feeling down. They would lie on our laps and push their soft little heads into our hands, as though they were saying "I know you're feeling sad. Stroke me and you will feel better". And we always did!

It's exactly the same with us and our two cats, Saffron.
They're such a tonic

[Saffron]

Aren't they just. Our "new" cats (Sid and Purdey) are exactly the same. They just seem to know when one of us is feeling blue, and they lavish attention (or demands for attention) on whichever member of our household they think most needs it. And they are always right!
Animal therapy is actually a very real and effective treatment.

OIC Left a voicemail on my daughters phone this afternoon saying it wasn't her trying to get hold of my son last week
But the update is CPS are dealing with a few more similar cases and she will have a decision within 3 days (we won't hold our breath)

Nerves are back xx

I acquired my OHs choc lab when we got together and then last year we got our kitten, they are fantastic I agree xx

Hope your ok Denise x

Hi Izzy

I'm ok(ish) thankyou
My daughter had a bad day yesterday, she came over yesterday evening and needed a cry and a cuddle, luckily I was having a stronger day ( I had the day off for a hospital appt) so at least I was some use to her, it's usually the other way round on this subject

She's met an old school friend who is on maternity leave from the prison service and they're getting on really well but she's like me. We are usually open books but hiding this 'secret ' until we know what's happenîng

She said she really wants to tell her but isn't sure yet, she asks her lots of questions about court/prison etc

One thing she did ask (because this girl has to accompany prisoners to court) is if she thinks innocent people are sentenced (any crime) and she said yes, in her opinion it does happen, I'm sure pretty soon my daughter will spill the beans and confide in her

How are you and your son ? Xx

[Izzy]

We're ok (ish) too, thanks.

It is hard hiding the secret, I agree, I've come to the conclusion that everyone is different and for some of us it is the best way to deal with it.
Might be nice for your daughter to have someone to open up to, especially if it's someone she trusts.

I think so too Izzy

She gets very upset about it and sometimes I worry she doesn't let it out to me because she knows I struggle too

Today has been weird, I've almost, weird as it sounds, found all this ridiculous today, anyone with even half a brain cell can see that they've over elaborated their lies where some things are provable lies

They stated things that we've said didn't happened and if the police bothered to investigate it further could be proved their lying

It shouldn't have even got this far xx

[Denise]

Well if today is the day that we find out CPS's decision I'm not feeling over confident

I've just sat here drinking my coffee reflecting on my life
And all the bizarre things that have happened

Generally speaking I would need to seek forums for each one because statistically they don't happen to the average person, I suppose without realising it I have learnt to expect the unexpected in life but I'm struggling with this one because it affects my child moreso

I have a good friend who is 9 years older than me and I remember her saying years back "darling you've experienced more in life than most people treble your age"

She weren't kidding xx

[Faith]

Yes, you have gone through the mill, but look how strong it has made you!
Itmay well be our day regarding the CPS decision too.

I am hoping for a good result for you x

[Browneyedgirl]

Denise and Faith, my thoughts are with you both that today you both get the decision that will put an end to this ordeal. I am praying NFA for us all so that this forum in an array of dancing bananas. We are also expecting a decision very shortly.
Sending you both much love and strength. xx

[Izzy]

For me the situation sometimes feels surreal Denise, I think whatever life has thrown at you, nothing can prepare you for it.

I really hope you and Faith get some good news today.
