If you read you will see that he is the lead in creating this article, not his Mum.

He is an influencer who gives online advice on parenting and also advises people on how to estrange their families.

Watering down orange juice - for goodness sake !!! Does your AC think that is abuse !? You were probably correct orange juice definitely raises blood sugar.

If you read the article, you will see that he has become a social media influencer and a 'trauma informed coach'.

There is an article on BBC today which resonates with me as I was falsely accused of abuse of my AC despite the fact that I was a victim of childhood abuse myself.

I feel I went out of my way to ensure was never repeated with my AC, but there IS a disturbing trend of 'no family contact' amongst the younger generation fuelled by - in my opinion - 'anti' social media, where the bar for 'abuse' has really been lowered. One thing I was accused of was 'watering down orange juice'. I did this because I learned that giving concentrated orange juice can cause spikes in blood sugar which could eventually lead to type 2 diabetes.

If anyone might be on here that knows the mum I would love to reach out to her. I know exactly what she must be going through and this week in particular - approaching Mother's Day - is particularly difficult.

I know this is a long shot but you never know...
