    I'm so sorry. That must feel so awful for you :frown:

    Do you want to talk more about it? You could maybe start on how your relationship with your parents was if you're not sure where to start? There's no pressure to talk if you'd rather not :heart:

    Are you staying anywhere right now, like a foster home or anything? Sending you hugs x

    Just wondering how you are living alone when you are 15 yrs old (therefore too young to sign a legal contract like a tenancy) and are in a wheelchair with MS? How are you paying the bills and daily living costs?

    I am so sorry to hear that your parents died. It must be so hard to go through. I am concerned to hear that you are living on your own in a wheelchair with a disability. You really need to ring social services or at least ask a friend if you can sleep on their sofa so you are not alone.

    Why did you lie about that? That's sick thing to lie about. Many people are in wheelchairs and can affect them very badly. How suppose to believe any of that now

    Sorry but it seems unlikely to me. I doubt your neighbours are ok with you living alone and paying all ur bills and living costs for you. Also as you lied about the wheelchair it puts doubts on the rest of what you say 

    just as a side note: if you are struggling with how you feel or something then you don’t need to make stuff up to get support. We are here for you anyway if you tell the truth.

    At least you have someone who is checking on you daily now which is good. I am glad that you have asked The Mix to delete your wheelchair post. Sorry if this is rude or personal but do you even have Multiple Sclerosis? It is still concerning to hear that there is nobody to contact.
