My girl

I know this is short, but I had to write today to say how proud I am of Cass. I know how much of a struggle it's been for her and this time last year I would never have imagined that she would be where she is today. On Thursday night she managed to go out for an hour to a local, quiet, pub with some friends and today she has gone shopping with Amy & Kyle (her best friends) to Merry Hill.

She still can't cope with being alone, or going on the bus etc, but to me this is amazing progress. Just wanted to be a proud mommy xx

Thanks Jenni, the improvements are going from strength to strength. I can't believe this is the same girl from a year ago. She is starting to go out with friends, and yesterday went down the road to our local shop on her own and back again. Her CBT nurse said she has to push boundaries and this has to be done daily, but this achievement makes me so, so happy. She has also met an amazing lad (I say met, she has known him since she was 7, but it's become more than friends) who totally understands her life because his mom has bipolar too. I feel for the first time in a long time everything is looking up for her and she has a lot to look forward too.

I know that the road is always long but, I feel like she is on it and not looking back :) xxxx
