For the last 9 mos, my eldest has been spending almost every weekend, most parts of every holiday with a friend in Sacramento. This has given us all respite and a it’s been needed. Today that changes. After today he is spending most of his time with this friend’s family and will be visiting here instead. 🙁
I think it would be easier if he was going off to a school or Job Corps. I’d feel like that was a step forward. But this is a step sideways at best. This is admitting that we can’t live together…that he’s better away from us. 🙁 That hurts.
It seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home and showing him his room and his toys. I remember the first time he called me Momma.
But it’s been hard for a long time. My head understands why this is a good thing for ALL of us, but my heart does not! I just wish love HAD been enough to help him.
Continued prayers for you my sweet, sweet friend. <3

Amy, I’m sorry it’s come to this….but I wish I had a friend like that for Ryan sometimes 🙁 This could be the best thing that happens for your family.
Continued prayers for your family.
