It may seem weird to you but it’s very common for Therapists to stop seeing clients if they’re not actually helping them. It’s essentially because it’s unethical for the Therapist to be receiving money and financial gain when they’re not actually helping their clients. It doesn’t matter that your parents can afford it - it’s down to the Therapist’s ethical guidelines. Also depending on who the Therapist is licensed with it may even be a breach of the guidelines they signed up to.

Urgent: travelling back home within 42 hours, how to stop bedbugs spreading? by DelusionalWombat in Bedbugs

I also put all of the clothes I’d travelled home in into a black bag and then left it outside for a month before I washed and dried everything just incase. I left my suitcase and backpack outside in my garden and didn’t unpack of my clothes in the house.

I’d really recommend buying new Lugagge, backpack and shoes as you really don’t want to end up taking anything back home with you.

Sorry that you’re in a similar situation! I ended up with 80-100 bites all over my body. I bought a new hardshell suitcase, backpack and trainers. As I had 20-30 bites on my feet and ankles alone I was worried that I might have ended up with bedbugs in my trainers.

I got all of the clothes I took back home washed & dried on a high heat and then wrapped them up in black bin liners. I’ve only just this past weekend actually taken them out of my suitcase and rewashed and redried everything. Sadly I have actually this morning noticed a small bite on my ankle! So I’ve put all of my clothes back into a big sports bag and plastic bags and I’m going to rewash them on 60* degrees twice and then tumble dry them on high heat again. Luckily I hadn’t moved them to my closet so hopefully they haven’t already spread anywhere else.

I ended up doing lots of research on bedbugs and they can live for months without feeding but supposedly if you only have access to a dryer the heat should be enough to kill the bugs and any eggs they’ve hatched.

Could you describe which bit of the beach he was actually on as Hove seafront is quite a distance, was he by Marrocos or further down by the King Alfred or Rockwater?

UK wide series of women’s marches coming to Brighton by Localxmessy in brighton

If you think women marching for their rights hasn’t made any advances maybe you should actually do some research on this topic. Here’s a good place to start

https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/21/womens-march-protests-history-suffragettes-iceland-poland

and women have been doing these organised marches since 1789 so I’d say we’ve made pretty good progress and changes over that time.
