Thank you so much 
It sounds weird as it was supposed to be only a sub plot but now I’ve actually set it out properly it actually ties in with the bigger plot xx
I just want to make sure I don’t make it look effortless if you get what I mean?
Do you think it would be acceptable to write it in a way that the character doesn’t show that they aren’t coping until they actually talk to someone.
For example I want my character to seem strong in her role as a police Sargent but becomes a little more vulnerable outside her job. This is due to the fact that at work she feels she can be someone else at work as she feels her job gives her an identity where as outside of work she has to be herself and this is where she struggles. But she tries not to show it until she is confronted with the situation and starts to open up to someone.
I apologise if this doesn’t make sense I’ve been up since half 4 this morning and now it’s nearly half 11 at night
