He lives in Sussex. He has tried at first to engage with early help through school, then when taking his boy out of school has again tried. But the last 6 months have been a constant stream of him versus the world and how everyone has let him down, lawyers, children services, doctors, family etc. He is just shutting off from the world he perceives is against him.
I feel helpless at the moment. I keep sending little messages and links to music i think he'd like. But he doesn't engage. every now and then I'll get a heart emoji then other times I will get a huge rant saying how no one understands where he is and what he is going through and how naive and stupid I am.
It is tough to know if he is putting his kids at risk. I believe he thinks he is doing it all for the benefit of his children.
Just keep doing what you're doing.
It sounds like you're doing the best you can, but it's easy to feel like you're not helping when you get no results.
Just remember that his ager with the world could be a manifestation of how he feels about himself. Try to keep positive, if he knows you're there, he'll come to you eventually.
mrwhyte - I can only sympathise with you and your brother.
I have some experience of what he is dealing with, and it can indeed feel like everyone is against you (or at least that there's zero support available).
Happy to discuss if you'd like to PM me.
Cheers Chakaping. I'll try ping you a message later.
