"By you helping mum it’s made mum more able to help me"

I just wanted to say thank you. We as a family have been through a lot these past 3 years with me and my health both physical and mental and we’ve always had to go it alone.

Even when i eventually started getting support mum was left to cope with me, my emotions and my impulse behaviours on her own with no idea what to say or do.

I’m so so glad she’s had you for support. I’m getting better at not acting on

urges but mum is now a lot better at how to react and help if something does go wrong. By you helping mum it’s made mum more able to help me so for that alone

I thank you.  When things are starting to wobble and mum needs a helping

hand you were always there and always said the right thing. I’m trying to get

better and it’s not easy but it’s made that little bit easier because I know

mum has someone to offload to and to talk things through with which I think is a major help. I remember being in an ambulance with the phone in my hand after an overdose thinking do I call mum or don’t I? I was unsure she would be able to cope with yet another admission but now i know she has support it makes me being able to reach out that bit easier because I know she can cope with it.

No one should have to cope with the things she’s had to cope with but with your support she’s been able to put that brave face on and do what she’s got to do.

She’s been able to call for support or to ask a question about what to do etc.

It’s sad to hear you’re moving on but I wish you all the best and thank you

again for everything you have done for mum and for me.
