DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN my son was accused of rape, my life totally fell apart.
He’s currently out on bail but I’m devastated. I know he hasn’t done this.
Every waking moment I’m worried about what is going to happen to him. He’s only 25 and I’m 50.
I’m trying to continue on as normal but I am completely broken.
My husband and friends tell me to stop thinking of the worst outcome and that I need to be strong for my family.
But my mind has now gone to the darkest corner it possibly can.
Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays.
