This is about the families who have been shut out,
ignored, made to feel unwelcome to share in the grief and funeral of their son,brother,father,etc
The British army do not aknowledge parents that are not together,so the nok receives everything,the otherNOTHING
On 28th March 2012 a year after my sons death, i will receive a public apology from the army for the manner in which i have been
treated and humiliated. I still have not received items of my sons clothing that i begged for, i am not entitled to any compensation,
the Elizabeth cross or anything else. I was not made to feel welcome at my sons funeral, so i did not attend. All this has stopped me
from being able to greive. What makes my situation worse is that i have cancer, it is a rare cancer, i cant afford to travel to the uk to see
my sons grave, i had no say what went on his grave, no say in anything. I have numerous emails from army personel, one contains a threat,
and others contain lies and other upsetting words of forgetfulness. To think that im not worth a dime, that my sons father and his wife have everything,
that he refuses to help me, to think everyday how a woman who threw my son out onto the streets when he was 13 yrs, that she is bragging about her new car, her new shoes, yet i gave birth to my boy, i was his mum til he was 10, things happened, but he stayed with me when he was 17 until he went into the army because his father didnt want to know him until he was a soldier.
There is more to this story of pain, this story of greed and anger.
I would like to hear of anyone else who has experianced anything like this. WHY because it has to be stopped.
