thank you will give it a listen

sorry to read all that it's so difficult, the biggest problem I see is that those with complex mental health needs get so skilled at covering it up until they hit that tipping point thank you though I will drop you a quick message tomorrow. it's good to know there are others going through...

I've got a daughter whose in her 30s but new relationship and stepsons aged 12 and 9. the 12 year old has spent years masking, been abused by wider family and struggles daily we are considering pursuing a fresh start in a new location but certainly a change of school very much feels on the cards
