Ivy – that’s brilliant news, I thought of your son on those very cold nights recently, especially being so far north. The worry must be really hard for you to live with. It’s lovely that you’ve met for coffee even if he is having to sort himself out so that he’s not rattling. I hope that being classified as vulnerable opens doors to extra services. Please spend some time taking care of yourself. A long bath and root job will make you feel loads better.
Bump – really great that your son is in a safe place. I hope he can also get the help he needs.
There’s definitely something to the adhd issue. My son is also trying to get a diagnosis. I can also see those traits in other family members who have struggled with life and self medicated with alcohol.
