I have not put anything in here in a long time i would love to start off whit some good news but today its not the case.
On Saturday evening I took my son(HE WILL BE 14 NEXT MONTH)to the barber shop to have his hair cut,its facing my brother in-laws barber shop but my son likes this one best as he says its better and more trendy.
Its a small enough shop there were 2 barbers and 2 other guys myself and my son in the shop it was 5pm and dark outside when in walked a man wearing a balaclava and holding a gun in a plastic bag
he walked right up to the guy who was cutting my sons hair at the time pulled the gun out and placed it to his head it was so frighting. I thought is this for real if he shots this guy the bullet will probably hit my son aswell
I was thinking just give him the MONEY after what seemed like an age he and the gun man walked to the till, the gun man noticed me at this point and got nervous I think he may have know me as i am local he may have been to
he got the money and fled we were all in total shock I shouted to ring the guards,who took a while getting there,my son wet himself while all this was going on and as a teenage boy you could imanage how embarrassing this was for him
we are both shock up over this it was definitely a real gun as the police woman said there have been a few of these raids in recent weeks we could not leave the shop until we gave our statements
they did not take one from my son yet as he was so upset the police will send someone to our house this week,I still paid for my sons hair cut after all this happened everyone ask why I did,i was in total shock
I just wanted to go home and get my son home safe,i cant sleep properly I'm nervous all the time I just hope my son Daniel will get over this soon we both have an appointment whit our GP in the morning to get some advice on counselling for daniel
I think I may have to get some medication for my self,I hope and pray we never ever have to go through anything like this ever again if self unreal or even a joke at the time but now a few days later its sinking in the reality of it,this gun man put all our life's at risk for less the 200 hundred euro

oh missmel!!! i dont even know what to say...you are both going through post traumatic stress...ive gone through that twice in my life. you should definitely see a counselor. you are taking good care of your son by doing that. the mere possibility or FLASH of something happening to our children would put any mother into a psychological mess. sweetie i can only say that with time...time will lessen the fear for both you and your son..strong prayers to you mel in this time. please check in soon and let us know if you are feeling any better and how your son is doing..i feel for you, i really do.
