You are understandably disappointed and my heart goes out to you. You can only stick by him. He needs to know that what he has done is wrong and that you are sad that he has done this - but that you are there for him.

A huge challenge for you.

You just have to support him I can’t imagine how hard this is for you what a nightmare but he needs you more than ever now, do seek professional help if you feel you can, for yourself

( sorry for being so ignorant but what is AC)

Don't try to understand why he did what he did just now , just support him ,it's probably what he needs most right now.

Hi Abbey I'm so very sorry for you. I worked in the criminal justice system (not in the UK) and always, always there'd be one person faithfully sitting through it all: the accused person's mother.

I think there are organisations for parents of people who have been charged with an offence, someone may come along soon with some info.

Hi, I have no one to turn to, I'm looking for advice on how to cope with my AC facing prison for an extremely serious offence. I'm so angry with him, but at the same time, he is my son. I had such hopes and dreams for him. They're all gone. I'm broken - as is he, but that may be due to being arrested etc. I am unable to say anything about the reason as it's an active investigation. TIA.
