You should know by now that we don't mind - it's always (I think) better to get it off your chest and then breathe.....
You also know that you have done the right thing, not only for your own safety but also for Daniel's --- he is in a safe place and will ahve time and space to think about things, his actions, reactions and reasons etc., without running the risk of hurting anyone else. Police peeps will be keeping a good eye on him and know how to react if he were to start again.
You've done what you've done because you love him, even though you feel guilty and nothing can take any of those Mum type feelings away. All you can do is keep your family safe and if this means getting D arrested then so be it - and I know that sounds harsh. You are being protective, as any Mum would be.
So - that all said and done, you will hear from people later on I should imagine with progress/what happens next, and I am guessing that the police will be interviewing, so will contact someone to act as an appropriate adult (usually the out of hours social works peeps who have contacts for that sort of thing). If it would ease your mind, perhaps ring local police station and find out what's going on? And I know you won't forget, but let your social worker know as soon as you can --- he needs more help than you're getting at the moment and he needs it sooner rather than later, but I am no expert.
He will be safe, and he will be sorry, and he does still love you.
Please take care - and breathe.
with love,
Dawn xx:hello:0 -
Hi Shaz, I hope you're ok. I agree with ptb and her advice.
Ring me if you want to chat. (pm me if you've lost my No.)
Do you need someone with you tomorrow? I can come up if you need some support, as you know its not that far from me to yours.
HUGS

sock-knitter - I agree with ptb - you have done it because you love him - to protect you and your other son - maybe now somebody somewhere will help you more - now he knows what happens do you think he will think twice (the thought of police when I was younger terrified me im not so sure now as police seem to "befriend" youngsters rather than putting the fear of god in them if you know what I mean)
Sit down make a cup of tea and stay focused (easier said than done im sure) - Ive heard of many mum's who have involved the police to help their children - you have done it because you care and I personally dont think things should have got this far with you on your own (sorry im just :mad: with what has happened to you and such a lack of support)
Im sorry I hope the above has not upset you I just feel so sorry for you and worried for you - take good care - BIG HUGS xxx let us know how you get on if you feel up to it xxxx
chalky - oh yummy a good sort out (Im weird I love a good sort out - especially someone elses tee hee) and I also love a car boot - all that junk making some lovely money xxx
blackcrow - am pleased you have had a couple of days off - hope it has made you feel better - sounds like you have done masses - its very satisfying when all those niggly things get done (and isnt it annoying WFTC and the amount of time you spend on hold grrrr) - but PLEASE can we have our mojos back (actually if mine went to you and made you feel better I dont mind - in fact I dont mind renting it out at all ...) xxxx
isom - day 2 crossed off - you really do sound more relaxed - im so pleased for you - where will you find the time to do all those other things you did - you were always soooooo busy - is Mum still with you ? xxx
prfungi - oh please release that wool - not only is it safer for you than going up and down but you must be missing it :rotfl:x
I better go Im getting evil eyes from he who should be obeyed - he wants the puter

aww people on here are lovely!! Socky sorry that things tough but I agree that you did the right thing..no practical advice at present but hopefully as I get used to my new job I may be more useful. Meanwhile he will know that there are boundaries. Hang in there.
Black crow you have alot to answer for taking mojo out like that. Hell never come back to us if you feed him ice cream! Alas I must bribe new collegues so cooking overtook violin practice today but will do it tom. Now how bout you retrieve your lonely violin from the loft. Cat noises dissapate fairly quickly and become beautiful music!

Shaz you poor girl. As everyone else has said you did the right thing, but of course you feel bad about it. Let's hope it jogs some people into giving you the help you need, and should have had years ago. (((hugs))) Sorry to hear about the boyfriend as well, all you needed.
ISOM like I said before, a bit of cupcake bribery never did anyone any harm:)
Blackcrow the mojo really worked on you didn't it? Can you chuck it this way please?0 -
:)seems i misinterpreted text from boyfriend, i dont like texting as sometiems things are written badly, and seem to say one thing, yet mean another. anyway turns out we still a couple, in fact tonight he told me he loves me.
and i rang the station again, just five mins ago, and he is being interviewed right now, so hopefully should be home tonight.
thanks again everybody, you are the bestest friends i could ever hope to wish for

Me again
Glad to hear that you're still one half of a twosome Shaz....and also that Daniel is being interviewed with appropriate adult. They'll know what they're doing and you should get him back tonight.
Speak to people in the morning --- you all need some help before something really serious (if you know what I mean) happens and there is some serious damage or harm done.
You know where I am, and if I was nearer and not back at work then I would be with you now, believe me. If you need me, let me know.
Take care,
Dawn xx:hello:0 -
thanks dawn
this waiting is killing me, really hope he is home soon
