When I joined MN my life was in a really bad bad place. But especially for my poor DS who had massive emotional and anger management issues. He self harmed, talked of suicide and every day was an emotional roller coaster from which I could not see us ever getting off.

Last week his case was closed by CAMHS, and today, the SW are coming to also formally close his case as over the last year, he and I have worked so hard to get to a much much better place.

The support from MN has been simply overwhelming, any time night or day, there is someone there to make you laugh, feel better, listen, advise, hug or just wish you well, and it has given me strength and courage to continue on the journey when sometimes, I simple wanted to quit.

For myself, I have a long way to go. But at 12, whilst sometimes challenging, my beautiful DS is funny, bright, energetic and enthusiastic and I am so very immensely proud of him.

So thank you, every one who has ever posted whether just to give a nod of support or much appreciated advise, from the very bottom of my heart.

Mittz xx
