You guys were brilliant in helping me through a very dark time in my life. I am asking you to offer the same hands of friendship to a remarkable young man.
I received this pm from Josh on Friday:
Most of us know how 16 year old girls can kick off, and this teen has more reason than most to do so. It would be lovely to know that this is a place where Josh can get advice and sympathy when things are hard for him - so that we become part of his and his sister's support network.Numpy wrote:Hi Steve,
I just wanted to pass on a quick message if I may.
I am very new here (as you well know) and have been trading forex for about 3/4 years full time. I have been using Bobs HGI - and having great success manually for the first time!
I have been good at managing my accounts before, but never felt this steady in the markets. I am extremely grateful to him (whom I will pass on as well) and everyone else who has helped!
I bit about myself. I am only 23 and live in Swindon.
My father, whilst I was growing up, suffered with depression, and my mother when I was about 14 was diagnosed with MS.
I initially looked after her as much as I could but as she slowly deteriorated. I tried to have her seek help from professionals, my father saw it as a threat and thought she would be moving into care, which he didn't like the thought of, so tried to keep her at home as long as possible.
He also banned me from the family home, and I subsequently stopped looking after her (although i visited as much as i could)_
Of course this isn't a problem providing your home is fully equipped with hoist and you have carers ect.
In his illness he thought he could take care of her on his own, not realizing he could not even care for himself.
She got so unwell, she was admitted to hospital, at which point my dad could no longer state he was caring for her.
She is now stable in a care home, being looked after well.
I live on my own with my little sister (16) as I offered her a place away from my father.
I apologize, I don't really know why I'm telling you this. I saw your post about your wife having MS and I think I just wanted to sympathize with you as I know the illness and effects first hand.
Again I think its incredible what you've done here to bring these wonderful people together and i cant express my thanks enough.
Take care,
Josh
