I'm almost starting to think we are in a slightly more positive space. Some relationships are starting to heal and a hint at wanting to be in recovery. Maybe it's too soon but I need to say it. Feels good.

I saw on your thigh that you'd cut the word FAT onto it, blood showing through the leggings. I tried to ignore, you are in recovery and fighting hard. Here for you. Dad xxx

Some green shoots starting to show. Small steps. 😊

This sums it up perfectly.

Last year you were in a Unit for months. Today you have your first interview for Uni. You're still fragile, doctors and family worried, I still empty bloodied bandages from the bins, but today there's hope. ❤

7 police, 1 dog handler, 1 search & rescue helicopter, 2 police vans, 3 paramedics, 1 ambulance, 1 hospital. She is ok. 😊 I'm still going to call it a setback on an otherwise positive journey. Thank you #Police Thank you #NHS Thank you #CAMHS

Today you turn 18, a massive milestone for anyone, no less so for you. You're still here and we're still here for you. Happy birthday beautiful one. ❤

Today involved armed response, a taser and a trip to hospital. The world needs to stop and I need to get off.

Just realised we haven't had the whole family round the table in over three years. I know there are more important things to worry about but still. ☹ One day I hope we can.

One year in hospital, 6 months in sixth form and some amazing A level results today. I am more proud of you than words can express.

Watching, helpless, as poor mental health slowly and systematically takes apart a once happy family. I hope, in 6 month's time, to look back from a better place.

Studies have shown that listening to the sound of beavers enthusiastically munching on white cabbage can temporarily reduce stress levels by up to 17%.

I'm sorry but this is absolutely disingenuous. The UK government were told on day one after signing the Withdrawal Agreement what it meant, and refused to accept it for domestic political reasons. And treaties are for life not just an election win.

So proud of my daughter who got fantastic A level results and can move on to the next chapter of her life. She has had such a tough few years which makes her results all the more special. Well done!
