Rapper Professor Green, cricketer Freddie Flintoff, comedian Ruby Wax and others say admitting their problems for the first time made them realise they were not alone.

"The next thing I knew, a child was just placed into my arms." It was 2015, and Dan had just been sent to a 999 call that would change his life. "Wh…

The website running a fundraising campaign to raise money for the family of murdered policeman Pc Keith Palmer is refusing to waive its five per cent fee, The Telegraph can disclose. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/24/justgiving-pockets-30000-fund-raise-money-family-pc-keith-palmer/ I'm in two minds about this - it is quite a lot of money (although they have donated £10,000 of their fee) However it presumably costs a lot of money to keep such a service up and running, especially at times of high demand, plus keep it secure too.

Hello Police family, I posted a while ago that I'm expecting a baby in August. But since then I've had grief and been sad a few times, not ashamed to admit. I need advise on what others would do in my situation, I feel like I'm doing everything I can to benefit my girlfriend and myself, and our child when it arrives. Here's why I need advise .. To cut a LONG story short, I believe my girlfriends mum is being a domineering control freak, and my girlfriend is listening to her absolute garbage ideas. Firstly, i found a house that we could move into and make into a home ready for baby. Mother in law however, wants me to move int…
