Hi @Reacher,

would you like to tell us more about it? 

I'm an artist too; I paint and draw. I really love being creative.  I'm 47 years old and I've been on this forum for a few years. 

Let us know how you are going.

Hi @Reacher,

Welcome to the SANE Forums and thank you for introducing yourself and sharing a bit about you

i hope you find the forums a caring and supportive place to be and feel comfortable joining in the discussion on other threads and sharing your experience with your son if/when you feel ready to do so.

I look forward to 'seeing' you around the forums again soon

I am thankful for all care that is displayed here. Things have improve a litle, my son has agreed that he can not budget and is going to give me most of his money. This is just a start and I do not know how long this will last, just because we had a robust discussion, I was very calm and stated what I expected from him so maybe !!

I was very pleased last night when my son rang me and said  "I love you mum" that is all I want to say, it took me by surprise a very nice surprise too.

I am feeling so much better now and i know that I can tell you how I am feeling and I will not be lokked down on.

On Friday I will be visited my our local hospital Mental Health Nurse to see what I have in place to help me cope.
