    Counciling may help but he needs to want to do and there are long waiting lists do they have a facility in his school where Toby can talk to someone would Toby talk to the dr about how he is feeling the dr could get help and support .

    If those boys go in the garden you should phone the police thats harassment . Is Toby still with his girlfriend  its a worrying time for you @janer1967

    I've just been catching up @janer1967 as I was away when you posted this, I'm glad at least that Toby feels comfortable enough to be open with you and talk about his worries, that can be quite a rare thing. I'm sure you are doing more than enough for him, and he knows that. 

    Keeping busy always helps during a difficult time like a break up, I know it's cliché, but time really is a healer there :) 

    If you were looking for support around counselling for Toby in future, I'd encourage you/him to visit Young Minds, as well as talking to the school as others have helpfully suggested.

    Take care this evening :)

    Hope everything goes well for you and Toby @janer1967.

    if it’s any consolation my eldest has been having a lot of trouble with his girlfriend which has led him to some counselling recently...and he’s thirty five! Still my child though and still causes me to worry. I don’t think a caring parent ever really stops worrying about their children no matter how old.

    @leeCal thanks for that and sorry your son is having issues too 

    I'm hoping toby is married off by then I've retired to Spain but your right will still worry about him 

    I never signed up for being a single parent but hard as it can be we have each others back
