      Understand the guilt completely, is the worst emotion, I feel it every day, my son has spent a lot of time sofa surfing, being in squats and also on the streets, but I can’t have him live here with the other children I have in the house, we as parents don’t deserve this life, not that it is a life, I feel I exist each day, they dont see what they do to us and all we do is try and help, i hope you find some peace here, I’ve just joined and really hope I find peace a bit as well x
