Pleased the person has been brought to a place of safety. A big thank you to all the emergency services involved, I am sure we often forget to appreciate and thank them for the work they do
Glad it came to a satisfactory result. Well done to all concerned and for the person that was taken to a safe haven I hope that you will be always safe and cared for xx
So pleased everything has been done to protect this male hate when this sort of thing happens without a happy ending. It’s not a easy way out I have lost a few (too many) friends that have been in the wrong state of mind it only takes minutes too end things spur of the moment thing, sad but at some point nearly everyone will have that few seconds of feeling very alone and no way out… Happens far too often sad hopefully he will get the right help and support to realise that there is a way out ♥ massive thank you too all emergency services who are always there when needed x
