oh, what a nice message batters. Memories of my mum really do help every day when I an faced with my boys.

Essbee, make the most of your saturday evening and thanks very much for the compliment. I am sure you are a lovely mother. In the middle of the worst times you see the good side of your children. Your messages on here bear this out. When you describe your son's behaviour you always seem so very balanced and sensitive about him.

When you have that appointment in November, see if you can talk about your feelings too - it's not just about your son. It is not right you should feel so at fault. I hope you can ask for, and get some professional reassurance.

Anyway, off to Alton Towers tomorrow - 6.00 start. Must get some sleep now!

Hi essbee, I dont know you from Eve but to hear you are single with two young children and a job I think you are amazing. Sounds to me like you could do with a visit from Super Nanny (TV programme?) She was ace at implementing routines and dealing with bad behaviour. Ciao

I'm around essbee for what it's worth.
Would you consider taking him back? Has he had any therapy at all or shown remorse? Am I right that he was violent to you and your ds?

essbee, poor you, what a dilemma.

Was it the first time he's apologised? An apology is a start - there's no changing without acknowledging how completely in the wrong he was.

(NOT that I'm suggesting you even consider taking him back) and I really don't know much about your situation - but a hug and an apology sounds like progress when you clearly desperately need a bit of support.

sorry essbee don't know all of your situation, how long have you been separated.

turquoise · 30/10/2004 02:13

Did he make excuses? Or really take on the responsibility of what he did?
Course you can't just wipe 11 years away, and all the harder if he suddenly starts to be vulnerable and not someone you can put up a barrier of fear and hate against.
You must be in a complete mess - I know i would be. Did you have a long talk?
