Description
This is a hard one to share, as I am a very upbeat person, sad is something I don't do well,and well, I fight the emotion of failure to my child. This is one of the hardest choices of my life:

We took no photos on this day.
It isn’t one to celebrate, but it is one
I will remember forever.
December 14, 2017,
We left very early in the morning, cold and dark. We stopped in Belen for breakfast. It was much colder and the sun was bright.The fear and tension was thick
December 14, 2017
We drove four hours to admit our 11 year old son; Whitley to a residential treatment center. The estimation of his stay; six to nine months. It looked like a jail.
December 14, 2017
The trauma of life had overwhelmed us all, and Whitley needed more help than we could give. The explosive anger and depression showed a deeper pain and suffering. Therapist, psychologist and staff were around Whitley. He was safe, and exactly where he needed to be. That didn’t stop the pain.
December 14, 2017
The walking on egg shells is over. Our home begins to feel normal. Laughter is heard more.No longer prisoners in our own home. The healing begins for the whole family with this date.

OH Anne! I am sorry about you are going through, but glad you are working it out. Life can be tough, I have no advise, just sending hugs your way. Your page is lovely and glad you can write and share about it.

This layout so deftly captures the pain and turmoil of that awful (and hopeful) day for your family. Know that you've been in my prayers that his stay helps him and heals him and teaches him to cope so that you can be back together as soon as possible.
