Thank you all so much for taking the time to reply – and that includes Dave and Alison’s Dad, Brian! Am sorry it has taken a while to get back to you. After a summer of music festivals, surfing and teenage antics of which I’m probably blissfully ignorant, my son had a great time and looked after himself.. Fast forward to first weekend back at school – a party – too much alcohol and a night in A&E – something a mother with a lively teenage son always dreads. Anyway, it has happened and it makes me more certain that going on a DAFNE course has to be a positive step – even if it is just to have shared experiences with others who truly understand!
