16 week wait for DV help

6 replies

So apprently it's a 16 week wait until my son can get help for his domestic violence. Feels way to long . I guess there are other families in similar situations and probably less help our there for young people. There is other support in place in the mean time. Just hope it's enough whilst we wait.

Bit fed up of the petty crap that's expected of us . When it's actually us that reached out for help . Meant to be helping not putting more crap on us.

I’ve seen some of your other threads. Hope the other support is keeping you going.

I hope it does help . Ds and his boyfriend came bowling today and the vibe was good was a normal family vibe with no negative tones. Which was nice we have not done that in a long time

Are you able to describe the situation?

It's all in my other threads But there's some nastiness in the threads as well from posters that don't understand or just trolling.

In a nut shell though my son is 16 and has spent a long time being aggressive/violent towards me. I locked him out because I could not take it anymore even though i spent alot of time be begging for help no one would listen. It's only now that thtu decided to listen and put support in place. But sometimes they intervere abd cause more stress with stuff they don't need to.
But I guess least we getting done sort of help.

That's awful, I'm sorry.

I'm guessing he can't stay with anyone else.

No he can't. Today was a positive day . Si guess I need ti hold onto that. I'm just not used to it so I feel suspicious. Just one day at a time
