Its a year since My son send me a message . It said "mum I love you, I'm sorry for everything" I sent him a message back said its OK. I love you to. I added if he wanted to talk he said no, I asked if he wanted me to go to him room he said no. I knew something was wrong. I went to his room . He was shaking , had vomit all over himself. I called an ambulance. And kept checking on him. Ambulance took 4 hours to arrive. It was an awful wait.

He was In hospital for 3 nights. When he was out of hospital somone was contacting us every day for about a week. He was booked into CAMHS suddenly. Even though we had begged for help over and over again. It seens there's no help unless a child trys to end their life.

We still have alot of work to do. But its slowly glimg in a better direction. I Just hope one day things will be better and he will be happy and have a better balance in life .
