Thanks for posting - similar situation here although our daughter is our eldest. My partner is now questioning herself even though our environment was just like yours and we don’t fit their model. It’s annoying the way this theory is being

I'm living in Reading, U.K. and have seen these signs from The Samaritans in one of the towns tallest car parks. I'm originally from Gloucester so appreciate what you are doing for that part of the country.
