'The pain of living with a missing child is relentless'

Luke Durbin left the house for a night out with friends in Ipswich on May 11 2006, it was last time his mother saw him. She recorded this video for 成人快手 Radio 5 live describing what life is like ten and a half years on from when he went missing. She said:

"The pain of living with a missing child is relentless, time does not heal, in fact time compounds the reality that you may never see your child alive again."

"I think living with a missing loved one there is no right or wrong way to be, it's all about survival. For me it's about surviving for my beautiful daughter and surviving so I can keep searching for my missing son Luke."
