Very very hard to do what you did. At least he is not smashing the door down and breaking windows which is what my son would do. In my experience housing & social services are useless and the systems/services are rancid, failing and flawed. My son told me last night he is being moved today, dont know where. He was in a down mood, ive got no friends, i want a life. My concern is that the services that are there to help dont really help and even when he says stuff like this you have to jump through hoops to get the help and then the moment has passed. I have tried numerous times to get my son sectioned, they say he is fit. Its a joke. There needs to be crisis and reactive management when it is required and people like my son taken to a safe environment where they are given a chance. Places like this dont exist. A drug addict is expected to be strong enough to deal with coming off drugs with no friends, isolation, nothing. Sending them to a drug place a couple of times a week is not enough. What are they supposed to do the rest of the time?. The social worker that failed Baby P has been given a £600k payout which appalling. Rewarding somebody for a childs death is shocking. She was in a position of responsibility so should be accountable. It just about sums up everything that is wrong with this countrys social care system. In the criminal system people get convicted if they do something wrong. It should be the same with the NHS & Social Services. My marriage is hanging by a thread so I am really dealing with this on my own. Friends are supportive but they lead their own lives and dont really get the stress i am under. I started writing a blog under the name of Mums Voice and on twitter too. Havent written for a while but it gives you a flavour of what I deal with. Crossing everything that today might be a good day for you xxx
