What to take to prison 2

[drinkswineoutofamug]

Not a great title but can't think of anything catching this time of the morning. Will figure out how to link to the old thread.

It's is easier to blame someone else. They have to take responsibility for their own actions. I understand your lad has disabilities (?) but like any young adult the world is against them! And unfortunately both you and myself have made a rod for our own backs by supporting them to much. That's my downfall anyway. It will be ok tiny. Once he has finished sulking. Apologies in advance if I've offended you in any way. Having one of those days.

No you have not offended me at all xx
Normal service has resumed and he has apologised. Plus iPod 📱 has been found and he has it back!
He has said he did nothing stupid and that he has been sensible and not contacted her.
Let's hope I can relax now and enjoy my holiday on Saturday x

Yes , I'm off tomorrow. Just short of 3 weeks of sweet fa . You going anywhere nice?

Wishing both of you have truly great holidays. Gawd knows you deserve it!

A Med cruise. My mum is sleeping up on the pretence that she needs the company!

Thanks all 💐

Have a great holiday drinks

Well we ended up ringing 101 to log an incident where she has approached my son. She is supposed to be scared witless of him ( according to her statement) but came up to him in town and informed him he had left his cue on the bus and she picked it up (he always uses public transport -bus-as he has a disabled pass) and says he is going to snap it in half.
Police say she hasn't logged any complaints as she did the last time he saw her.
If it sounds confusing it is and I want to have some anonymity.
Have a great holiday Drinks x

Up date from sunny places. Gaining a slight tan already. I felt the stress melt from me as soon as I sat on the plane. My garden resembles jungle book but sitting under the dead grape vines having my breakfast is bliss. Hope everything is on tiny 😎

She's applied for HDC for early release. Tagged to my house. Don't know who makes the decision. Still on holiday. Go and visit her on Saturday. Hope your all well.

Hope you're still soaking up the sun? Weather here has turned cloudy and grey!

My son is very down and depressed. Seems so sad. Wants to move out but realistically he won't be able to manage.
Probation is going well but social worker is on indefinite leave so waiting to be reassigned! No sign of universal credit. Not even a letter!
We survived our week abroad with no drama! What a miracle!
Hope you are enjoying the sun ☀️ Drinks x

Unbelievable - Universal credit claim closed because they said he wanted it closed. After waiting to get the right documentation this happens. Can`t get hold of anyone to complain of course. No numbers available to ring! So nothing else to do but put in a new claim.
No wonder some people reoffend!

I'm back in the uk tomorrow 😭

Back in England. Came home to 2 letters off her. Rather sad to read . Go visit her on Saturday

Hope you had a wonderful time drinks. Glad you managed to escape the snake on the roof 😱😱😱

Sorry you've had letters from DD making you feel sad - but as you now know, prison is a rollercoaster of highs and lows.

I hope she is okay and I hope you have a lovely visit

@drinkswineoutofamug her tag application will go to an HDC board and they will make the decision with her outside probation. It's based on lots of things they will consider her progress and likelihood of reoffending as well as visiting your home to check suitability

Sorry for the multiple messages. I always post them then think of more to say

HDC will also be dependent on how full Styal is at the moment and much they need the space

Hope,you had. A good holiday, unfortunately you can't help them unless they are there at the bottom

Hope the holiday did you good xx

Evening, thanks for the info cat, I read up about the HDC, as she's been classed as a high risk to the community due to be offences and multiple reoffending I'm not sure she will get it. Styal seem, reading her letters, to be helping her with her mental health issues, unlike the mental health team on the outside. Her probation officer has been to see daughter here at my house so we may get to bypass the house visit.
The snake on the roof saga 😂 the bloody thing disappeared into the roof! Never saw it again! But I've now sorted my residency application and got temporary residency and a Bulgarian ID card. Sorted my CV into Bulgarian to look for work. I need out of this country. The holiday wasn't a break as such as we needed to pay business tax, bills and such like. Work on the house and sorting the next building project. Got 1 day on the beach out of 16 days! Spent 4 days in immigration offices , and 3 days fixing a leaking tap! Got a house marten living in the barn, keeps the rats down. Came home to no dog as the previous owner decided to take her back 😢 don't think we have a leg to stand on as nothing written to say she was ours. But I have paid for her vet bills, food, new lead and collar , everything.
I hope your sons universal credit gets sorted soon tiny it's a total ball ache. Will be going back to the beginning here too soon, depending on release date. If tagged 15/18 June , if not 18 July. I head back out to Bulgaria round about 6th August 🤞🏻

@fruitcider , hope I've got the right person. I need your advice regarding medical stuff in prisons again. Will post more details when I get in

So visit today was ok. Her dad got very upset. She had cut her arms up. And yet again fitting. When she was taken to styal , it was a Friday. While in police custody they gave her the epilepsy meds. When she got to styal, they binned them. She then had to go a whole weekend with no meds. They are now prescribed. But she is given them at stupid times. 8am and 3pm instead of 12 hours apart . So fitting. She's not withdrawing, totally clean, skin looks great. She's on serlitine (?) for ptsd and they want to put her on sedatives to stop the hallucinations. Why is prison health service so shite. The guards heard me kick off and wanted to know the issue. Not that anything will be done. She's doing ok in other aspects, got a cleaning job and done some courses. Goes to the gym. I feel like fucking shaking the idiot. It's all very well saying sorry now. How she regrets her actions. How it's her mental health that's to blame. If she didn't sniff and smoke shite her mental health maybe better. If she complied with services , things maybe better. Absolute fool.

An occupational therapist phoned me Thursday to ask if she could visit my son in prison to measure him for a shower chair. I had to tell her that he was out and has been out for 6 weeks!
So no urgency or information sharing!
Social worker is on 'extended leave' and if not back on Monday I will be phoning to request to Be reassigned.
I am going to sort out power of attorney if I can in the summer holidays we have an appointment this week with the job centre so I hope we can get his money sorted.
Thinking of you all Drinks x

Sertraline is a SSRI. I've been on it for a few years. If you have any questions I can help with, feel free.
