when times are tOugh...stick tOgether!
05.15.08 (10:20 pm)   [edit]
Monday the director of Hamptonburg House is coming to our home for an informal interview with me, Kayla and her social worker. Dennis probably won't be home he will not talk to me about this possible placement for Kay. It is only temporary just to give her help in dealing with her illness. Next we go to Goshen to visit and check the house out and then Kayla would stay overnight there. If they feel Kayla would fit in their program they are looking to take her in mid-summer whatever that means. I feel kind of wiped out. I've been talking to all the doctors, social workers, mental health workers that I know and have worked with Kayla what they think and everyone says this placement is what Kayla needs. Why then won't Dennis even talk about this? It is not easy for me to even think about Kayla going almost 2 hours from home to live for one year! It's not like I'm giving up on her but rather getting her the best possible care and treatment she can receive. In the long run this one year will probably be the best year for her. Think of the confidence she will gain and all the skills she will learn living in this "home" like environment with all that support staff looking out for her and helping her. She will be coming home for visits and we can visit her, call her. I can not understand Dennis and we've been married 19 years now. I believe that the harder things are the stronger we have to be and Dennis and I should be united and showing the kids we are together in this and we will see Kayla through this. Instead we are not talking or he talks to me but refuses to mention Monday. The kids therapist Dana called today and asked me what will I do if Dennis is not on board with this? I said well I guess I have to move forward alone with the kids. I've tried to keep our family together so why does it feel like it's all falling apart now?
