Well as the final posts roll in, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in tonight's Topic Tuesday. I certainly learnt a lot.
I'm so thankful for people's openess tonight. The questions you asked are likely the burning questions other have too!
A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO @Ngaio-ROP from Reachout.com for taking time out of her night to spend it with us!
Oh I also forgot to mention, there's a great blog on 'Tips to help you overcome change' that has been posted this week for those interested in learning more about managing significant changes (regardless of age or life stage) 🙂

I think there's probably a lot of young people on the forums who were made aware of them by their parents but don't mention that to anyone @lovemyboys
The anonimity might appeal to him, or the fact he can read without commenting if that's what he wants to do? I'm sure you'll be able to explain perfectly what you can get out of a forum because it's what you get out of here.
I'm so so sorry about your son. I'm sure the healing process is an ongoing journey. But you sound like you're able to give your kids amazing support to get through. Good on you.
