    Hi @sarah2024 I am so sorry you and your son have fallen out. It must be very difficult for you not to have heard anything from him since the 11 December 2024 and to have spent Christmas day on your own.

    Do you have any way of contacting him? Do you know where he might be staying?

    Do you usually hear from your family over the Christmas and New Year period?

    Sorry if I am asking too many questions you do not have to answer me if you do not want to. I am just trying to understand your situation.

    Please know we are here to listen and offer support where we can.

    I hope your son will contact you in the New Year so you are able to discuss things and perhaps clear the air.

    Please take care of yourself.

    it is really difficult, I’m ok, but it’s hard because I’ve never spent a Christmas without my son, in 24 years

    Just coming downstairs Xmas morning was so hard knowing he wasn’t there . I didn’t know if he would come round or not
    but he didn’t

    I believe he’s blocked my number

    And on social media

    I did see a picture on his new gf fb

    A Christmas pic taken with all her family

    Which was a real kick in the teeth

    So I know where he is

    He’s spending it with his new gf

    And her family

    I know he has work tomorrow

    I don’t know

    I think he must just be trying to cool down

    But him moving out like that

    And at Xmas is really hurtful

    And prob my own fault

    My family all just doing there own thing

    They all know what’s going on

    And none bothered to inclued me knowing I was on my

    Own

    I just need to start doing things for my self now

    Only just sorted my universal credit out

    And then he leaves …

    So now I got start all this with telling council he’s gone

    Council tax and

    Then it’s all going to get messed up

    Bedroom tax ect

    And assuming I’ll have to get in touch with universal credit as well 🤦‍♀️ Nightmare

    I’m just watching films and trying to keep occupied

    I just keep thinking about all those Xmas morning together over the years of him being a kid

    Iff to s just so hurtful

    He’s my only child too

    I’m just going to leave him to cool down

    Carry on and do what I need to do
    and hope he wants to sort stuff out X
