Sometimes I just get tired of stress. I haven’t blogged for a while about my kid issues – tho that is not an indication of me being stress-free and on top of things, more an indication of my being overwhelmed. Lately I have been going thru periods of staring at the ceiling and hoping answers will miraculously appear. I am sure God has a plan, I just don’t know what it is yet.
SA turns 18 in 39 days. I remember when it was over 365 and now we are down to less than 40. The problem is – the closer it gets the more I panic. The RT facility wants me to have a plan in place. Where he will go, where he will live, and who will take care of him, etc. I have tried and tried and come up with zero. He can’t come home!!!!! He isn’t safe and I still consider him a serious threat to me and the family. But no place else wants him either. Right now I am down to Boston with his birth family, Job Corps, a transitional living program or being homeless. Not fun choices. Plus he hasn’t been accepted into Job Corps or the Transitional Living Program yet. To make it worse, they have moved his discharge date up to the 15th. So I have 20 days to figure this all out. He will only be 17 when he is discharged. I am still legally responsible.
I am confused as to why they are releasing him early. Last night he had to be physically managed and sedated. Plus on his weekly progress report that I received today – it stated that he had banged a kid’s head down on a desk. He continues to be threatening to the other kids and staff. THIS does not sound like behavior that would be acceptable in the outside world, so why are they sending him home?
More of the confusing details next time.
