Hi ladies,
Just wanted to say for now I'm out of here. I love you all and you'll always have a special place in my heart, I can't thank you all enough for the support and help you've given us. I would like to keep in touch with you all, obviously I'm already friends with some of you but for those who I'm not friends with the link to my facebook page is

I know you all know Rob posted on the loss forum a few days ago about the problem with people having a nosy then going off and talking elsewhere. Part of this came from me moaning about it and noticing that one of the mums who was upset was clearly having grief problems. My big problem here is that (obviously being mental health trained and working in grief counselling) is that there's just no acknowledgment or allowance made for peoples grief reactions. I think started a thread saying had anyone noticed that the view column had disappeared.
Anyway when we got in yesterday as well as the obvious upset over Archie's funeral we found that my brother-in-law had received the most lenient non-custodial sentence I'd ever heard of with very little provision for the protection of children in the future, I know I've written about this before, my poor great-niece (the one he has abused) made another suicide attempt on Wednesday. As you can imagine I was very upset and thing I was probably going through a touch of 'anger'. I raged about Archie's death being unfair, about my the crap sentence of lack of it and also that one of my threads had been locked on here without explanation and that after 24hrs I still hadn't been given access to the private loss forum. I really was as I like to put it going through one of my 'insane moments'.
Poor Rob being a man and you know what men are like had to do something so he did the only thing he could do anything about he wrote a thread on loss section about the things I was having a go about. I think to be fair what with all the problems with my mother, the problems with the hospital, he just doesn't know what to do and just wants to protect me. Its got a bit stroppy over there and I have tried to explain that he was just trying to help and protect me, explained the situation and said that he's basically just trying to be a 'man' and look after me. No nasty intent was ever there, good God the man doesn't have a nasty bone in his body and goes out of his way to help others. But it all comes back to my original moan there's no allowance for grief or grief reactions. I can often spot when people have grief problems over there and I'm sure lots of reactions within this are poor people with grief issues. I wouldn't mind but I got up this morning with things much more in prespective and don't really care that the threads been closed etc. But after todays problems I've decided enoughs enough, I feel well and truly ill now, can't stop crying and have just had enough. BNB should be helpful and at the moment I just don't think its doing me any good.
Finally I'd like to thank you all, you've been truly wonderful, I hope to see you all on FB. Obviously none of this is anything to do with you lot, again you've been great.
Sorry this is so long and probably a bit rambling.
Love you all
