Shabbs Thank you for remembering me, your words and love helped so much in the early days. I feel very alone now, its just me, Moon and Sam. My sister is still as much use as she ever was, when mum was ill it all fell to me. Guess who is having to empty the house and execute the will?
Moon's mum has been very unwell since the summer, she was sectioned for a while and has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. That's an illness we know far too much about 
She is awful to us, she hates me with an undying passion. I can't even be in the same room as her anymore. She reported Moon to the police for assault, apparently he broke her back. Luckily the police understood that she was clearly unwell and although they took a statement have not taken it any further.
Moon is not coping with it all very well. My mum was diagnosed with cancer in May 2015 and his mum became unwell soon after, we took our eye off her for a few weeks whilst mum was backwards and forwards to the oncologists. Moon feels that if we had been paying closer attention, we would have seen that things were not right sooner.
He feels as though his mum is gone in some way, she isn't the woman I have known for 17 years. In some ways, we have lost both our mums.
All in all, life just keeps throwing crap at us and we keep plodding on. James' death was the beginning of a pretty awful 4 years.
